Born at 5:09am CDT (Central Daylight Time): Samantha Renee. Cigars and soda pop and big bowls of chocolate frosting for everyone! (Sorry, I’m just all kinds of proud.) Baby is a little bit under 5 pounds - she was induced due to preeclampsia. From what little I’ve heard so far (they’re in El Paso; I’m on the east coast) they’re doing fine, baby is in a warming bed, NOT a full incubator! My daughter-in-law is apparently not at all happy about having to wait to hold her AND wait for a shower. And the evilness begins!! Mwahahaha. I shall teach her well in the ways of the Dark Side. ---

Just as a note - my kid is actually my **stepkid**. I did a chunk of raising him - his mother doesn’t even remember his birthday. So yeah, I’m too young to be a biological gramma (unless I started at 16 and so did my kid, which would not be unheard-of, but didn’t happen), but I still gots a grandkid. And believe me, as soon as I have pics, they’ll be posted. 😃 ---

Congratulations, **Hama**. Let me know how it is to have access to cute cuddly babies that you can _give back!_\* I am seriously looking forward to that. ---

Well I finally got some info. She was six weeks early, but she’s 4lbs11oz, 18 1/2 inches long (!!), and will be able to go home in 3-7 days. [And here’s a picture of her.](http://members.bellatlantic.net/~ianna/babypic.html)😃 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/im-a-grammadryad/113467.md?page=2)
