It's a boy!

Hi little guy.   We are going to have fun together.

OK, you will have indulge me here, it is my first grandchild....a grandchild that I thought would never be........ultra sound shows it is a boy, due May 2nd.   Of course, I can't see it but the technician proclaims it is a boy.   They shared the photos last week and it finally sunk in today that this is really happening.  This afternoon I dug into my hope chest and pulled out my son's baby clothes that I saved.   Wow, I can remember dressing him in each of the outfits I came across like it was yesterday.  I am sure on closer examination, they will be found to have dry rotted elastic.....I mean, they are 35 years old.    

This I can tell is a foot.

After two daughters and nieces I was thrilled to have a boy.  So much so that I could hardly wait to buy him his first flannel shirt.    

Little blue sweater set my M-in-L knitted

Yes, after pink and ruffles I was ready for a rough and tumble boy.

Dad was grinning ear to ear when he brought the super son t-shirt into the hospital.

Remember these?   The little t-shirts that snapped shut.   OMGosh from W. T. Grants no less.

I didn't realize I had packed away  so many outfits and sweaters and blankets.   They are bagged up  for delivery to State College this weekend!
