Yes, our grandson Cameron entered the world at 2:49pm, Friday April 1st. Seven pounds, nine ounces. Mom and baby are doing great!
But we had a vet appointment at 5:00pm, so we decided to go to that before visiting the hospital. We had a consultation with the vet, just to check Whiskey’s heart and breathing again. The raspy sounds coming from her heart are gone, so that is good news. But her coughing hasn’t totally disappeared yet. We’re going to keep her on the same medication for the weekend and go back and check again on Monday afternoon. Her energy level seems to come and go…when we got back to the apartment she went racing up the stairs like there was nothing wrong with her! And her appetite is back, so that’s good news too.
The we went to visit Lindsey, Justin, and Cameron. What a good looking kid! I know we’re slightly (only slightly?) biased, but we think Lindsey and Justin did a great job!
Cameron...about 4 hours old!
Grandma and grandson
It's been MANY years since I held a baby this small!
Funny face, Cameron!
Congratuations to all on Cameron's arrival. Since I'm an "April Fool baby" also, I can say with some certainty that he will probably receive many, many comments/jokes (some very 'unfunny') about his birthday through the years. My standard answer has become "I'm an April Fool. Do you know what kind you are?" & most adults at least realize how unkind it is to make fun of anyone's (out of our control) birthday. It's sort of fun tho to realize many people are also celebrating your birthday with you.

ReplyDeleteCongrats Grandma and Grandpa!!! Now just watch your credit card get "smokin' hot!"
ReplyDeleteLindsey's training in the food services industry sure served her well. She knew just how long to bake that "little bun in the oven". Great job, Lindsey! You and Justin made one sweet little boy! Congrats to you, Ruth and Kevin. Can't even imagine how thrilled you both must be! We are looking forward to meeting your grandson when we get back to Nova Scotia. In the meantime, have lots of fun together.

Congrats on your new grandbaby - he's a cutie - love his little hat! Also, love his name - that's my maiden name, also our son and our grandson's middle name. Grandchildren are simply the best - we love ours - enjoy every minute of it now! Our best to everyone!
ReplyDeleteConnie,Barry...Thank you! We think the name Cameron is a great one too. Nice that you are able to pass your maiden name along to you son and grandson. We will love every minute we get with him.
ReplyDeleteKevin, Ruth and Whiskey
Congratulations to all! Welcome to the world of grandparents, Kevin and Ruth! It is so much more fun than parenting, you just send them home!
ReplyDeleteCorft...Thanks Croft. We have said the same thing. You can spoil them too because that's what grandparents do.
