| Congratulations to all concerned. Grandchildren are OK because you can give them back, of course. Is he being brought up on Mythos? |
In Greece, time is merely an idea in the mind of God. |

| Congratulations Eleanor! Don't laugh about the ouzo . An old Greek sleeping remedy was to dunk the baby's dummy in some ouzo!!!! |

And then drink the rest of the bottle yourself? That'll guarantee a good night's sleep. 
Congratulations Eleanor - you make a very glamorous granny! |

I thought the newborn baby got a tea spoon full of ouzo and that the granny would sleep under the bed to keep "the evil" away??
Congratulations on the grandson, Eleanor |

| Congrats - I know how it felt the first grandchild is always special we were in the USA at the Grand Canyon (with a native Indian) who once we had found out Matthew had been born dedicated the sunset to him - which was so special. As too being tiny I think it is not a bad weight (by my standards)- both mine were very tiny 4.9 and 2.2 both prems and they are bigger and stronger than me now with families of their own. |

My eldest was 9 weeks prem and weighed in at 3lb 10oz and the youngest although only 2 weeks early at 5lb 5oz....both are now strapping young men and I love  them dearly even though they drive me nuts with their bickering  .
I do hope Poppet and I's stories give you encouragement Eleanor.....and as Allan says, you are a rather glamourous granny....I'm sure Alfie will love to show you off when he's a little older .
