JeanieS: Today is one of the happiest days I have ever known. My two grandchildren were born this morning. Hunter (6.9 lbs) and Abigail (6.7 lbs). I am thrilled beyond words. It’s also one of the saddest days I have ever known - I won’t be able to see or hold them for a couple of days. Still recuperating from surgery to remove my kidneys. But even that is getting better.
Question (for grandparents): How special was the birth of your first grandchild?
