This baby came so fast that we didn't get a chance to be part of the delivery room "festivities", like last time, but such a quick delivery was a blessing for my dear daughter-in-law. We stayed up there four days and REALLY had a great time, especially with out new little granddaughter. We just got home about an hour ago.
Her name is Sabre (say´- bree), and was born eight pounds, zero ounces with brown hair and TBD eye color and a very gentle and sweet disposition (given the genetic makeup of her grandfather, that last part left us all a bit baffled).
I tried explaining to my DiL that the Bible says I don't have to change her diapers (Lev. 18:10). She said "cute, but don't think you're getting off that easy!" Since my wife and I had only raised boys, my DiL explained all that was entailed in cleaning up a little girl baby when changing her diapers. I said, "no way, I'm not doing that", to which all three responded, "oh yes you are"!
Damn, raising boys was so much less complicated!

Don't know where you're coming from, Gramps. Girls are much easier, in my view, when it comes to changing diapers. No Old Faithful syndrome to worry about. And they're also much less "spazzy" than boys.
I'll worry about the teen years later. :-)
