It's a Boy!!

I received the call that we have been waiting for on Friday, September 27th. My 10th grandchild, Jett Daniel, a little brother for Miss Billie, was born. I left home about 6am Saturday morning for the 6 hour drive to Melbourne, and spent a couple of days having grandma cuddles with Jett and Billie. Of course, we think he is gorgeous, and so is his big sister. They grow up so fast, into "little people", but nothing can beat the newborn baby cuddles. It has been very special that I have managed to have newborn cuddles with all 10 of the grandies, in the first 24 hours of their lives.

Miss Billie was very gentle with him, and did oblige us for a few photos, but mostly she was quite happy to play with Lego and draw with her crayons. This little man evens up my grandies, as I now have 5 granddaughters, and 5 grandsons. Jett is the 16th great grandchild for my mum and dad, and number 17 is due in January....( Edited - Just received a message from my mum that tells me I am the 10th grandchild born in my generation!! Although I was 10th out of 45, and I certainly won't have that many grandies!!)

I drove home Sunday afternoon and arrived about 7pm. I was hoping to finish the custom quilt that is on the machine today, but for some reason I feel a bit lethargic?? I heard the early morning birdsong at 5am this morning, but the eyes didn't open properly until 7am!! I will be heading back to Melbourne to help DD3 after the exhibition is over.

Time to put my feet up in the recliner by the fire, and bed won't be too far away tonight. The weather is giving us some sunshine during the days lately, but the nights are still very cold.
