Congradulations, Being a great granadma is wonderful. My next great is due in September. What a beautiful name. I love the smell of a new baby,can't wait for ours to arrive. Lilly
thank you everyone! We are very happy that everything went well. I will be going back to the hospital this evening and hope to have more photos to share. we realized yesterday that our Aunt Grace in England and Aunt Flo in Canada are now great-great-great aunts, and our Uncle Ted in England and Uncle Barney here in the US are rgeat-great-great uncles. Semehow I had not considered how many generations we actually have living right now. Amazing.
It is unusual to have so many living generations--basically you have to have a lot of young mothers. My mother was the youngest in her family, I believe, or perhaps next to the youngest. My father was the middle child in his family. His younger brother and his older sister are still living.
My mother passed away three and a half years ago, but she still has 3 living siblings who are all in their 80's. My ex-husband's mother is the only living great-great-grandparent, however. The others all left us in the past 5 years.it is bittersweet in a way--my mother would have loved to see this baby, I know. Still, Mom and Dad saw the birth of about 35 grandchildren(I've lost count, but I think that's right) and many, many great-grandchildren, and none of their 13 children preceded them in death so they were very fortunate in that way.
Thank you, Tipper! She is home now and getting settled in, and her little aunts (so funny to call someone "aunt" at 11 years old, but then my youngest one was "uncle" at 3) have all arrived to meet her.
