Grandchild #17 has arrived.

[Rick Y]

After 40 hours of labor culminating in a c-section, my grandson finally got here!. 9 lbs 10 oz, 22.5 inches, and a full head of hair! This makes a total of 17 and, in total, represents a significant amount of our Christmas budget! . Parents have yet to agree on a name for him so I'm going to call him Nameless. The father is a veterinarian who had to amputate a leg from a cat and then adopted the cat and called him Legless so little Nameless will fit right into the family. Now I will try to get the picture to post. (Believe it or not I WAS trying to smile for the photo!! Hmm....

Congrats Grandpa!

Oh - he's gorgeous, all that hair - and he has your nose.

Seventeen eh? Less a family, more a tribe.

Anne the Pleater :ootd:

Congrats and best wishes! I don't think I've ever seen that much hair on a newborn... he's precious!!

Congratulations. Seventeen grandchildren. You are beginning to rival some of my Canadian cousins in the procreation game. I'd hazard a guess the high fertility rate in North America may be caused by something in the drinking water.

Aye whiskey or hopefully whisky?
