My First Grandchild :D

My first grandchild came in to the world on 02-01-2011. He is such a wonderful and beautiful baby boy. He weighed a healthy 7 pounds 4 ounces and was 21 inches long. I have 6 kids of my own that I adore but there is something about a grandchild that warms the heart in a different way. I never understood that until 3 days ago. What a different kind of feeling! :D Have any of you had grandkids and if so, what was the feeling you got when they were born? Was the feeling different with the first grandkid verses say the 3rd or 4th grandkid?

I have four.....and they are so very special! I could hardly believe it when I held the first one in my arms...and everyone since is just as special..I had told my sisters that they would never believe what I was trying to tell them about being a grandmother until that moment they became one....now they both have grandkids! And you should hear our conversations! LOL....

I understand the sister part, I have a sister who became a grandma before me, she had tried to tell me how it is such a different feeling. I just didn't understand it until now! Can't wait until we can laugh about what OUR grandkids are doing, right now we just get to laugh about hers! LOL

Hey there MamaCat38, first of all a very warm welcome to mylot. I am very happy to hear that you had your first grand child on 02/01/2011. It would have been very nice, if he was born a day earlier, because then his birthday would have been 01/01/11. My cousin sister deliver her first baby on 1/1/11. Coming to the grand children, I had my first and only grand Daughter till date about 2 years back, by my daughter. She was a premature baby, and had to be kept in the incubator for a long time.The first time I saw her, I cried, (Yes men also weep/cry), the reason was, all the needles which were stuck on her. My wife really took care of the baby, and to cut a long story short, she is fine now. I am a man who do not like physical contacts much, and I do not remember kissing or hugging my son or my daughter, but believe it or not, I very much wanted to kiss and hug this small bundle of joy.Whenever I used to get the chance, I used to pick her up and hold her, and kiss her. I do not know how I got this feeling, and I do not know, whether it will be the same with the 2nd or 3rd grandchildren.

Congratulations to you and your daughter! Loving that new little angel in your life now is a very heart warming feeling. My daughter is only 8yrs old so it would be a very long long waiting for me to have a grand child. But what i experienced with my mother, she was so happy when she first laid her eyes on my first baby, my daughter. It seems she love her grand children more than her daughters. Enjoy! and take care!
