My son and his SO are at the hospital waiting to be induced. She’s about a week overdue and they think he will be around 9-10 lbs. I’m hoping she doesn’t need a C-section. I can hardly wait to meet my new grandson! ---

Congratulations! This is weird but I thought the OP was getting a piano because I initially read the thread title as: **My new baby grand is (almost) here!** ---

I almost snorted - \*\*baby grand \*\*- LOL. Thamks for making my day! She is getting an epidural now. Best estimate is that baby is close to 10 lbs. We are still hopeful that no c-section will be needed, but won’t know for sure until they can get her comfortable enough for a better exam. Thanks for the prayers, thoughts and well wishes. I’ll update as things progress. ---

He’s here! Cayden James 9 lbs 7 oz and 21.5 inches long. Mom finally had to have a c-section but they are both healthy and doing ok. This is our 3rd grand baby, but in reality he’s only the second as the first two were twins 🙂 ---
