Thankyou so much Thermomixer, Judy and Cookie.  Yes I had a day off cooking, we all went out for a nice meal which I did enjoy.  ;D

I'm so excited to announce the birth of my first grandchild, a little boy weighing exactly 4kg (8.8lbs) on Tuesday 11/1/11.  I was present at the birth at my daughter's request and it was a wonderful experience.  Her labour was less than 4 hours. 

He is gorgeous with jet black hair, they've named him Dante.  Luckily she only lives just under 3 hours away so will be making more trips to where she lives.

Thankyou for all your well wishes,

Julie.

This photo was taken just after his first bath the day after delivery.  ;D

Julie, congratulations to all of you.  He is just gorgeous - babies just melt my heart, I love them to bits. Thank you so much for putting a photo on the forum for us all to see.  What an experience for you and how lovely your DD wanted you at the birth. Your lives will never be the same now you are grand-parents (and parents), enjoy  :-* :-* :-*

Like Judy, my heart melts when I see babies! He's so beautiful. :-*

Congratulations to you all!
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

Congratulations to you and your family Julie. What a beautiful bub, so precious. That sounds like a great labour, being less than 4 hours too. And Dante does have an easy birthdate to remember which I can appreciate. My youngest son was born on my birthday, 16 months ago, 09/09/09, so I always joke saying that at least one of my children cannot forget my birthday when he is older   ;)

 :D  Thankyou everybody.  Virgo, the midwives were hoping for an 11am birth to add to the all the elevens.  He was born at 10.48am so just missed out!  :D

Will just share a photo just emailed to me.  ;D

Awww, he is so lovely. It's amazing how fast they do grow and change. I have 3 children and that is it, but there is just something so amazing seeing a newborn.

Had a little chuckle to myself about the time of birth - when I was in labour DH was 'encouraging' me to get DS out for 9.09am. If I could have reached DH, he would have got a smack! However, he was happy enough when DS came out at 9.59am, 'cause we had some more nines  ;D
