Thank you guys, for your comments. :thummar:

As predicted, :grin:

......... 6lbs 12oz (3.15kg) of baby girl arrived at 05.10 this morning :smile:

- 5 min.s later than her mother apparently !! :uupps:

Would've been weird if she'd arrived 5 min.s earlier, eh!!!!! :vissla:

Both are doing fine, but I imagine Vicki's knackered after a 13 hour labour !!!! :sad:

Retirement's never gonna be the same again !!!! :vissla:

My congratulations to Mrs D and also to the Mother
We (me and Mrs M) became grandparents end of september. Strange feeling that is!!! Our "little" boy being a father!!!

You bet I will!

Fair comment Mag - 'tis about me I suppose! :smile:

Vicki (Mrs D's daughter) is almost thirty and I have difficulty remembering that at times :vissla:

- she was 13 when I first met her!! :vissla:

I don't have any children of my own :vissla:

(fortunately, as it transpired, with my hereditary Gaucher's disease) :vissla:

but Pam's two might as well be mine. :smile:

Their father has lived abroad most of their lives, since 'he went' and it's always been me they turn to, 99% of the time!
Dad by default :eek:

They're both now married and now Vicki's a mum too :eek:

Just do not know where the time has gone though :sad:

Oh and congrat.s to you too Boyo :thumme:

you will have had a little practice, by now then!
Babies have never been 'my thing' ........ never spent any time around them :uupps:

Well, don´t need to THE Father to be a good father! Sounds like you´ve done your bit quite well then, being there when needed! :buga:

In my world THAT is what counts in the long run!

Thanks Mate! 27 years since I held a newborn in my arms so it was like a timemachine.... back to "then"!! :grin:

But this time I can pass her back when she´s cryin´ or worse :vissla:

Congratulations, Druid! Now, you are a grand father! I myself have 3 grand daughters, 6 and 10 and 10 years old!

A new experience for me Magirus ..... as I say, not had a lot to do with babies .... least not human ones :grin:

I dare say there will be a LOT of passing back :smile:

happening!! :thumme:

Yeh I'd say I've "done my bit" and I've been rewarded for it, over and again :grin:

Both good kids, :smile:

both have chosen well in their partners :thumme:

(in my eyes at least) :vissla:

and both have achieved well in their chosen 'paths' ... I'm proud enough of 'em, mine or not !! :thummar:

Just seen a couple of pix of the little one and have to say, not a bad looking baby :grin:

Thank you Jörgen, very kind :bira:

Don't know what I did in the 'engine bay' in my 'Bucket' account, but all seems well again and all the images are back :hurra:

It was telling me that they had all been moved or deleted :uupps:

Panic over :grin:

Now, you have to change: "If it's got tracks, wheels, t*ts, or an engine, at some point it's gonna give you trouble!! :uupps:

You mean something like .......If it's got tracks, wheels, t*ts, or an engine, or it's saved in PhotoBucket, at some point it's gonna give you trouble!! :uupps:

.......... LOL :grin:
