Grandbaby!

2004-11-08 Thread Nick Arnett
After an enjoyable late evening Friday with David Brin, David Land and a 
 few others who aren't on the list, I got up Saturday morning and 
headed to Modesto, where my wife already was, to help get things ready 
for her baby (our fourth grand-child), who was due around Thanksgiving. 
 We headed home Saturday, but went right back Sunday morning because 
she started having a lot of contraction-ish pain during the night.  I'm 
happy to announce that the newest member of our extended family (but 
only a bit newer than my sister's daughter born a couple of weeks ago in 
Pittsburgh) arrived at 5:50 yesterday.  Mom and baby are fine.  The 
little one is tentatively named Carly Annamarie Valenzuela, but daddy 
wasn't party to that decision, so it's still up in the air.

The aforementioned son-in-law got stuck here in San Jose (I just got 
back), so guess who got to stand in for him, keeping her company during 
the C-section.  Me!  I'm sorry he missed it, but very glad to have taken 
his place.  I've been in operating rooms a few times (off the table, 
never on), but this was very special, of course.  (Although last time I 
was in one, I ended with a picture of my backside in National 
Geographic... but that's another story.)

Congratulations, Nick!  I didn't know you even had kids, never mind 4 gandkids.

So, your grand-child is also the child of your wife? What kind
of Heinlein Family is this? :-
