Congratulations to you and your daughter!
Congratulations, Phil! That's wonderful news.
Grandpa! Wow, fun stuff ahead. Congratulations.
Congrats to both you and your daughter Phil.
WAHOOOOOO!!!! Phil's gonna be a grandfather!
Thanks everyone. It's cool, but a little weird.Not sure if I like "Gramphil." Sounds a lot like "landfill." :)
You're already older than the brontosaurus dung on the bottom of Piltdown Man's feet. Deal with it.
Yeah, I'm sort of looking forward to it & sort of feeling old.Not nearly as old as Clark, though. :)
I don't think anyone "feels" as old as Clark!
Congratulations to you and yours, Phil! That’s wonderful news :)
My out-laws say their grandchildren have kept them feeling young.I say embrace your inner "grandpa" and enjoy the ride!

On a good morning, I don't feel a day over 60. But I'm coming back for another year of softball.

I think that I am hanging the cleats up this year.

Agree! My friend says that grandkids are our reward for not killing our kids when they were teenagers. I think grandkids are our chance to have the patience to really love our kids again. p.s. my grandson's name is Charlie after my dad. Good strong name :)
When my wife was pregnant with our son, we thought about names a lot, but didn't select one until a day or so after he was born.My daughter and her husband have already said they will name the child Lucas (boy) or Skye (girl). Apparently they've been thinking about this for some time.
We chose our daughter's name before she was born. I had amniocentesis at fourteen weeks so we knew her gender. Oh, I should have put that in the "my procedure" thread.

Star Wars geeks?
Hmmm. Could be.SIL wanted Vincent for a boy, but decided to use that as the middle name because when he mentioned it to people they all defaulted to saying "Vinnie."
I told him it was a good idea to change. Their last name begins with a "D" and who wants to grow up with the initials "VD?"
Congratulations, Phil!I don't know about you, but once I have my grand-young'uns I won't be jumping into a pile of leaves. Damned if I won't break something.
You're probably correct, Charly. I probably will find myself diving into a pile of leaves. After which, I am quite sure,I will spend an unGodly amount of time in the ER waiting for the doc to set my arm. :D
OMG how did I miss this! Congratulations Phil. You look way too young to be a grandpa.
By the way, my daughter is now 4.5 months in and starting to show. My wife bought a bag online last week and was excited to show it to me... "know what this is? It's my diaper bag!"She's very happy to be a grandma.

Fortunately the boys next door (ages 3,5,7 and 9) are my substitute grandchildren. Those two little ones came over at 7 a.m. and asked to see Dr. Cynthia's office. Exhausting, really. But so cute with their summer buzz cuts and dirty knees.

More like every week at this point. :)
My daughter told us tonight she's 4-6 weeks in. At this point she's only telling us and her in-laws because you never know what might happen. I already gave her a diaper genie and a baby monitor. Too soon? :)
