I'm a grammy again!!! Yesterday (June 20th) while at the doctor's
office, my DIL was experiencing abdominal pains. According to my son,
the doctor got on the phone with the hospital and told 'em in very
strong words that despite their policy of not inducing a C-section prior
to one week before the official due date which would've been Monday, it
was time to do the procedure.

I was the first grammy to be to get to the hospital and then we had to
wait until DIL was 'recovered' to visit. It's amazing how different
things are today. When I had my kids, it took a Presidential edict to
get the father into the delivery room; now it's standard. Babies were
kept behind glass in nurseries except for a few visits to the parents
each day. Now, they stay in the room and only leave if/when the parents
need a break. Fathers (most of 'em) held babies for pictures and rarely
fed or changed diapers. Now, most of very involved.
Once I come down from Cloud 9, I'll finish their birth announcement
stitchery.
