My daughter gave birth to her daughter at 11:18 PM last night. Her name is Kendall Arin, she weighed in at an even 8 lbs and is 20" long.
She has dark hair but we can't tell the color of her eyes yet.

My daughter told me the baby reminded her of a Glo Worm since her eyes were puffy and she had the little stocking cap on.

Mother and daughter are doing fine this morning.

Grandpa Ewker..not sure if I like that or not..lol

Welcome to the club. One of the perks is that Muttonhead will call you Gramps.

Congrats Ewker!

Your genes have passed on to more than one generation. Darwin has long since had his say-so. Materialistic science says you have no value and may now expire if you wish.

Seriously, I am so looking forward to my grandkids but that seems so far away right now. I am just trying to enjoy my little ones while they are still little.

So is Geo the only one we can insult with the name Gramps? I mean cause it's true that you are a grandfather now. LOL!

Congrats Ewker. My mother just became a great grandma this year but refuses to admit it. LOL!

My hubby and I are "grand uncle and aunt" to his niece....

Scary thing--we don't even have kids ourselves yet! Talk about making a person feel old....

The neatest thing about being a grandparent is that you get to go visit, get the kids wound up around bedtime, and leave. It's called "Grandparents' Revenge!"

I'm actually very envious...our kids seem to be slow in that department...not that we want them to be too fast!!

A baby girl! That's so sweet. The best place in the world for a little girl is sitting right next to her grandpa. At least I think so.
