Welcome, Darby…may your birth be the toughest thing you and your parental units need to face. Rest, Mom and Dad…you’re going to need it! And get ready for super spoiling from Granny…I swear to God, parents lose the parenting bone when the grandkids arrive…my dad fed my kids cupcakes for breakfast…I don’t ever remember having cupcakes for breakfast when **I** was growing up. ---

Congrats **Poysyn** and Grandma and baby! Rest easy while you can, welcome to the world! **Cessandra,** yes, they made it to the hospital on time. I was surprised they didn’t want to admit her when the contractions were 4-5 minutes, since her previous baby came so fast and they lived so far away. She went in around 2 pm and delivered at 7 pm for this one. 🙂 ---

Congratulations to the whole clan, and welcome, Darby. You’ve already got a large number of dutch aunts and uncles who are just waiting for a chance to see you and spoil you. ---

Great pictures. Poysyn, you certainly do not look any worse for wear, what are you doing sitting up? you are s’pose to be lounging back whilst your husband feeds you grapes? Darby is adorable. How can she not be, she has the culumative (sp?)cuteness of all her virtual SDMB family. Darby, I am going to clue you in on something I’ve only just learned: Life is 90 % maintenence. ---
