um,no,and the mother-to-be is getting, shall we say, a bit testy.
Revised due date is tomorrow, with induced labor by the 30th. This one
is going to be a whopper, I fear.....

exactly the genetic issue. Jeanine is 5'10", and while baby Matthew
arrived smallish, he grew quickly, to the point where his pediatrician
says things like, "he's going to be a tall one". It's just that the
impending child, a girl, seems destined to be the child which forever
limits my count of grandchildren to two(alas, I have no chance of
catching up with Handyman on the total count of grandkids). Jeanine has
been sick at times throughout the pregnancy, it looks as if this one
will wait til she's about 10 pounds to emerge. All in all, my wife and I
are quite satisfied that this child will prove to be the revenge for
what Jeanine put us through in childhood.

truly wonderful......oh, and to all my ROFFian friends:
Baby Gia Elizabeth was born about an hour ago, at 5:15AM.
She was nearly 8 pounds, happy and healthy. Likewise for her
tired but relieved mother.

Tom

congratulations and best wishes to mom, pop, and grandpa.

one of the sublime benefits of getting old is meeting your
grandchildren, and knowing they are yours to spoil and for others to
toil. finally, children are fun... i know you will do your best to
uphold your end of the compact.

has been shared with me)

thank you, my old friend......with two of them underfoot around here,
the coming months should be interesting. At the rate the eldest is
growing, he should be ready for little waders in about 3 years!

Woo Woo! Okay, she can use the Frank Reid Memorial fishing rod down
at the southern manse. The boy's gonna have to fight her for it and I
know he'll loose. Congrats to all (except one) involved.

untangling line in about 7 years.
