It’s taken a while to get these pictures up of our new granddaughter to share, but I finally have some!
I pasted in a picture last week but was notified by my married children that it’s not showing up. Sorry about that – it wasn’t intended to be a teaser! (It shows up fine for me.) I’ll make up for it now by sharing a few pictures!
Here are a couple of pictures from my first meeting with my new granddaughter, the day after she was born.
When the baby was a week and a half old, I took four of the younger boys to meet her. (At this point, only ds16 and ds1.5 haven’t yet met her; the older kids all went to the hospital to visit.)
And now, bliss! Yirmi finally gets to hold his new niece!
She slept through all the transfers from one person to another. That newborn stage of deep sleep doesn’t usually last too long!
For those of you have been reading this blog for a while, you remember my referencing of the littles, the middles and the bigs? The ‘littles’ were the third group of three children born close together in our family, and they’ve grown up while I’ve been blogging these last (almost) 12 years! Sometimes I look at them and wonder when they got so big.
I don’t have any insights on being a grandmother yet, sorry! It’s interesting to hold a newborn who is related to me, and yet not be responsible for her care. What is really beautiful is to watch my son and his wife shift from being a couple to being a family.
