Born This Morning!

No, Kendra did not give birth to this cutie pie.  This is my newest stepgrandson, who was born this morning.  You met his older sister, Carmen, a few months ago.


Mom and big sister are both doing well.

Childbirth is such an amazing miracle!  Congrats to my stepdaughter and her growing family.  Congrats to all of you who have experienced, or who will experience the miracle of childbirth.  Cherish those little ones, even when they are plucking your last nerve.  Even though I've never experienced childbirth, I do feel like a mom and that is a glorious feeling.

Speaking of feeling like a mom, I got a chance to make homemade cookies with my sweetheart Tyler, earlier this week.  Well, he made them, I was instructing him.  He was expecting store bought cookie dough.  Surprise, here's your recipe, flour, sugar, butter, etc.  At 14, he's 6 ft and towering over me, but still as lovable as he was at 4 yrs old.

      Rossetti - Thanks. Come back and take another look. I don't think the other two pictures were showing when you stopped by the first time.

      Thanks for letting me know you can't see the first two pictures. I will repost them. I can see them, and I know why you can't. Check back later.

      DBG - I really wish they lived closer. His mom asked me to come back to upstate NY to be with them. I will have to plan another trip soon.

    Congratulations to both you and the new mother. I'm sure you will be a typical (step)grandmother and spoil him lots. And learning how to cook is a very useful skill and it looks like Tyler enjoyed it.

      Carrickters - I really wish they lived closer. He would really get the royal spoiled treatment. Tyler is a really good cook. I'm trying to add baker to his repetoire.

    A hearty welcome to your new little family member. Lots of poopy diapers coming your way!

    LOL at that trick you played on Tyler. That's a mom move right there.

    Muff - Do you know how many people don't know what baking from scratch means? Way too many!

    Wow 6ft! Kids are super sized these days. I wonder what I'll be saying about Christopher at that age. Your step grandson is adorable. I am working my way back and saw the title and was like "oh no" I missed the labor pains. So you mean to tell me the Kendra is still pregnant or are you doing to do like The Baby Story and do a "six weeks later"? ;-)

      Kenya - You do know that Christopher is going to be supersized, too. He's already pretty tall for his age. Yep. Poor Kendra is still pregnant.
