just joined the league of grandparents
Elder son, David, and daughter-in-law, Hui-Jin, brought their project in a couple of weeks ahead of schedule. Tough labor and vacuum-assisted delivery, but Jin is tough, and her mom was an Ob-Gyn in Korea.

I've been telling my siblings for years that you're not officially old until you're a grandparent. And it just so happens that although I'm the oldest of the clan, I was the last to become a grandparent (last fall.) So, congrats on the new addition, and my condolences that you've just become officially old, too. (We still don't have to grow up, though.)

Once you see how much fun grandchildren can be you'll wonder why you didn't have them first.

Congratulations!
Now that most of my grandchildren are married and starting their families I'm now being blessed with great grandchildren.
