On March 20, 2008 at 6:48 am my newest grandson decided to join us and that makes me now a 4 time grandmother. I am so proud of my grandkids and my son for the man, husband and father he has become. My grandson weighed in a 8 lbs 7.5 oz. and was 20 inches long. My daughter in law set a record at giving birth to him. He didn't want to wait for her to dialate and started to come at 8 centimeters. He shot out like a cannon and she had him in 3 minutes. The doctor didn't even have enough time to get from where she was resting to the room. The nurse on duty had to deliver him and they never had time to drop the bottom of the bed to put her in stirrups. I guess he is living up to his name...Kannon Mikeal which was picked out a long time ago. I can't wait to see him and hold him, since my children live in PA and I already spent weeks with them waiting for him to arrive. I am so excited and happy that both Mom and baby are well and are going home today. I love being a grandmother. Next to having your own child(ren), it's the greatest gift in the world.
