Is quite prodigious news this. Congratulations, Jayne! Bright blessings to you and yours.

Erik


P.S. .That John’s Baby Boy poem be becoming is fast become an understatement.

10 pounds, 12 ounces--whoa! Respect!

And extra special good news, indeed.

Hello John, Shaun, Annie, Susan, Bob, Mike, Max, Erik and Julie,

Thank you all so much for your warm congratulations.

Bob, yes - on your twins comment, there's a lady in the bed opposite my daughter, whose baby boy is very nearly half the weight, so Nina could have had two for the price [or weight] of one!

Annie, thank you for pushing the boat out with a smiley. Much appreciated, dear friend!

Jayne

Many congratulations, Jayne.
Our first grandchild, a boy, was born in February, on Valentine's Day.
I expected him to be hyperactive, as was his father as a child, and would have considered it poetic justice. However, he's turning out to be cheerful and quiet.

Thank you, David.

This baby is the first for my younger daughter, but is my 7th grandchild (three boys and four girls). He, too, right from the off, appears to be very placid. At nearly 11lbs, he already seems like a three-month-old!

And they seem to know that, early on.
Congratulations Jane.
My first born son (now 45) was 10 lb 3 oz, and his mother actually thought she was dead....when she awoke in recovery after sixteen hours of labor.
All the best to You and Yours,
Stephen

I'm so happy for you, Jayne. I never knew the thrill of maternal feelings till I became an old lady. My only children (besides dear cat Emily) are my books. This new review of an old book (well, not that old, only four years old) made me kvell like a mother who thought her child would never amount to much but is suddenly loved by a stranger. It isn't the TLS, but there's love, love, love.

What a wonderful review, Mary. 'So, so sexy and so, so smart!' Who could ask for more? And she's spot on about Girlie Calendar.

Thank you Stephen, Mark and Mary.

And yes, Mary, Mark is right about your ''baby''!

My daughter had just one night in hospital following the Caesarean and the birth of her whopper baby boy, but is adjusting to her new life at home, with some help, advice and very little interference from me.

Now I'm going to move over for the next piece of Good News from someone else.

(Final words on it: Thanks for all the good wishes, dear friends.)

Jayne
