Yours ONLY had to go uphill both ways? They're lucky.. Mine had to get up half an hour before he went to bed, tend the farm, and then go uphill both ways to school, with his brother on his back, and pancakes on his feet--because they couldn't afford shoes. Those pancakes were also their lunch.
Since you've got time...
With the birth of each of my children someone has bought me one of those flower arrangements that come in multipurpose holders. One was a carriage shaped plant pot, another was an, "It's a boy" coffee mug. It seems silly, but they were really nice gestures...and helped in the exhausted daze of new parenthood to feel appreciated. I still have/use both today.
Everyone brings cute baby clothes etc, but something special from you to the new Mom would probably be truly cherished.
In honour of your daughter's impending birth of her child, I've been throwing up all day and shivering with freezing cold chills because of some kind of horrible stomach flu.
It's not the same as labour, but that's as far as I'm going Hobbes.
Congrats Sir, yer gonna make a great Grampa. 1Tb of pics at a time!
Pfft. Been giving my kids that lecture for a long time.
My lawn consists of mostly weeds.
First off, congrats! Will be watching the thread to see the joy enter your life.
I wanted, Mr. G for a handle, my wife said I would be kicked in the nuts, as it turned out, since our 1st started talking, I am "ya ya". Seems we really don't have a say.
So happy for you. As a wise elder at work said, "had I known, I would have had the grand kids first..."

Luxury . . . mine had to do that AND sleep in a cardboard box in the barn.

Keep us posted!
Looks like it may be a home birth.
I had intentions to sleep tonight, but now I'm gonna have to stay awake and rail this...and get drunk...for the baby.
Best wishes and thoughts with your baby, while she has her baby!
Heading to the hospital now.
I think I'll have one more drink...just to be on the safe side.
Looks like round 2 is starting now, since the drugs have worn off.
You'll understand when you get there . . .

As opposed to . . .?
Congratulations, Ron . . . keeping a good thought that all goes well, and your daughter is delivered of a happy and healthy . . .
Ditto to this, one step further but fixed it a little..
