Just the Right Amount

A sister to M & L
and a cousin to I
Especially after false labour way back in the first week of August, it's been quite a holding-pattern of a month waiting for our newest (third) granddaughter: 9 lbs and 9 days late! I'm so impressed by my daughter's resolve.  

But she's finally here: another M, her name a nod to my Grandmother and her middle name for my daughter's grandmother. Imagine being so fortunate to be named after two grandmas...that seems to me like just the right amount of grammatude, and I can't wait.

  1. I too named my children after a grandparent and a great-grandparents, and feel really good about connecting them in this way.
    Congratulations, Grandpop, on the latest addition!

  2. Congratulations! Good for your daughter standing her ground. There is too much interference with mom's and due dates, it just causes more problems. My first baby was 9lbs. That hurts.

  8. Congratulations to you and yours. It seems like a,, manner of things shall be well. Ny grandson is named after his granddads. In my case, it is a variation of my name with “athan” added.

  11. Happy news!! Congrats all around. A baby is such a lovely little bundle of endless possibilities. Also, why is a new baby like instant coffee? Because it's easy to make and it keeps you up all night. :)

    My daughter's middle name is Dawn, the feminine version of my grandfather, Don. He saved my life when I had to get out of my home of origin and was the father I needed to finish growing up.
