I am off to Fort Erie, ON to share an AirBnb cottage with my daughter, son-in-law and my 3 grandkids. Be there til Saturday. I may pop in here on my iPad if I get a chance.
I couldn't wait to prove (mostly to myself out of self doubt) that I was right.
A new granddaughter. I'm happy for you, IRBS. But why do people always share the length and weight of a newborn? Is it really that important? What matters is the baby's health. Can you imagine if we did that with adults? At a cocktail party: "This is my husband. He's 6-foot-3 and weighs 195 pounds." A political advertisement: "Norve Migbatch deserves your vote for City Council. He's 6-foot-2 and weighs 200." A wedding: "Do you take this woman, who is 5-foot-7 and weighs 130, to be your lawful wedded wife?" A baseball announcer: "Craig Kimbrel is coming in to pitch the ninth inning. He's six feet tall and weighs 215."
Or how they were delivered?
Please welcome Kirk McGuinnes, he’s 5’-10” 197 pounds, and arrived at 7:53 a.m. in a Honda Civic. The water taxi wasn’t an option this morning.

If I remember correctly, the news of the birth was secondary to the opportunity of getting a non-well-done burger in the states.
We enjoyed the week even though the cottage was not as advertized. It had several steps that made mobility a challenge. But we had a portable ramp which helped. The grandkids were sweet although constantly noisy. Didn't bother me as it was normal kid noises but did get on my wife's nerves. My wife and daughter did not kill each other which is good. They both have strong personalities.
I have no idea why it is shared. It is just customary. And thanx for the congrats but the post you are reading was from last June.
The height and weight of sports figures is mentioned frequently. Look at any hockey or baseball card, it is there along with whether he shoots right or left or throws right or left or bats right or left. Boxing and wrestling also feature the weight of the individual.
The heaviest baby ever born weighed 22 pounds, 8 ounces. Yikes! By the way, I'm 5-foot-9 and weigh 205, if anyone cares.

World's biggest babies ever born - tricky deliveries, diabetes and tragedy
When the third biggest baby to be born in the UK was delivered on Thursday, he was a wonderful surprise for his mum and dad who nicknamed him "pumpkin" - but he doesn't quite make record books
These are all insane. Funny how a bunch of guys can say "what's the big deal?". But delivering a baby is the most difficult thing a human will do. And a big baby born naturally deserves special recognition.The heaviest baby ever born weighed 22 pounds, 8 ounces. Yikes! By the way, I'm 5-foot-9 and weigh 205, if anyone cares.

Reporting the height and weight is the best way of indicating the health of the baby. My younger daughter, the 29 year old biologist, was 3 months premature and weighed 1 lb 10 oz. She spent 6 weeks in the hospital before coming home.
Both my wife and I are the third and last. We tend to grow up the most comfortably.
The third one is like the third time you watch a good movie.
The first time, you're all excited and you cant wait to tell everyone about it.
The second time you're all excited to see the stuff that you didn't notice the first time.
The third time, you start checking your email and don't hit pause when you have to take a leak.
My oldest brother had his baby's first year journal filled out completely. It had his name, footprint, size & weight, first food, time he crawled, yadda, yadda, up to his first birthday.
My other brother had his filled out up to about his first Christmas.
Mine had my name on it.......
<-- ONLY CHILD! SPOILED, SELFISH, AGGRESSIVE AND BOSSY.
At least that's how my imaginary friend used to describe me.
