Hell, my parents were married in November and I showed up in May.
First babies take as long as they want to gestate. Subsequent ones take 9mo, give or take.

Y'all just don't know how great this is. Mrs H will be so busy with this kid that she won't be thinking of things to get on my ass about.

Neat, Doyle. Congrats! :tootcake:

ETA: I guess Mrs H being on your ass less is neat, too, but as clarification... the whole big grandchild thing is the neat part I was referring to.

Hmm, that sounds familiar. Did your parents let you know the birth control didn't work and you ruined their lives too? Memories... :o

Congrats Doyle!

Do we need to speak up or anything now that you're almost a Grandpa?

Yeah, it is neat. Boy or girl, I'm going to have a golf club in its little hands by age 3.

Conga-rats. I've heard people say that if they had known how much fun being a grandparent was, they've have started out that way.

Congrats Doyle! So glad that you are embracing this.. my dad was like "I am too old to be a grandpa now" (He explained later that his own father was older with us, and was cranky and mean to us. He was afraid of the same situation)

I believe it was Dave Barry who said you can only be young once, but you can be immature forever. Congrats, Doyle (on the granddaughter, not the immaturity) (although there's nothing wrong with immature) (most of the time)!

Here's a tip: People think grandparents go out of their way to spoil the kiddies. Not true. It comes naturally, like breathing. You're gonna' enjoy it.
