Thanks. No grand-baby yet. Pitocin, breaking d21's water, nothing is moving the child birth along.

I was at the hospital for 6 hours. W mostly staid away from me. But even when we were in the waiting room together, it was civil. We both kept our focus on our precious grandchild and the miracle of child birth.

I'm a grand-father! A beautiful little baby girl, looking just like her mother (d21)

It happened quickly - after being in the hospital Monday night and yesterday, today the epidural stopped working, d21 was in a lot of pain, and the baby was in distress, so they did the fastest C-section I've ever seen. D21 was so grateful.

W was there and was pleasant. S14 was there and never said a word to me, even after I congratulated him on being an uncle. I'm just giving him space right now. He is still hurting.

Ok, is it too early to be annoyed with d21's bf? Several times he spoke about the cost of parking, given that they are parking there for a week. His mom was there, I assumed he was whining to her. I might chip in when I come visit tomorrow or on Friday. But I was already volunteered to take d21 and the family out to 'Red Lobster' when d21 can eat again.

A little anxiety about finances is alright for bf, a new father. I wish I could shake him to let him now the stress is only beginning.

Congratulations on the birth of your new granddaughter! I'm glad everything finally worked out and both mom and baby are doing fine.

This was unexpected. I received a letter today telling me the final Court order was signed and filed. I am divorced.

I'm feeling a little numb. I have been fighting against this day for so long, over 3 years, so I'm disappointed. But I am physically and emotionally healthy right now that I am kinda excited about the future. Let's see what tomorrow holds.

Friends have invited me up to their cabin in a couple of weeks to blow off some steam. I can't wait.

Congratulations grandpa! So excited for you. I get the letdown, you have been trying so hard and now what will you be trying for. Take some time to digest, keep taking small steps forward and you will continue to create the life that you are wanting.

Babies come at good times. They bring out the truth in people. I am totally smitten with my granddaughter. Nothing melts my heart more when I ask where Nana is and she giggles and points right at me. it is getting even more fun as her words become clearer. I went to see what she was doing with D15 and she said "I color!!"

Congrats again.! kat

I'm very sorry that the news of your divorce came along when you were enjoying your new grandbaby. Gosh...I hate when these things happen this way.

Do try to take some time for yourself and just relax. You've had a lot going on lately.
