We all know TIS never likes to draw attention to herself (with the possible exception of when someone tries to crash the line in front of her at a breakfast buffet) but she became a grandmother (for the third time) yesterday.

TIS posted the good news in the "Random Post" thread and I know many of you don't bother reading that so I'm copying her original message here.



The replies that were received over there follow:

Wow, congratulations to your daughter and your son-in-law on the birth of the new baby...and a hearty congrats to you as well on your third grandchild!

I can't imagine how exciting this must be for you. I send my best and all my well wishes to you and your family during this joyous time!

Good news like this is always refreshing. Thanks for letting us share in this occasion, TIS! Salut!

Congratulations TIS!!

Was it a shock buying boy's clothes for the baby?

Congrats, TIS!! I'm glad your third grandchild was a masculine grandchild! And I'd be honored (even tho no one asked me ) to be his honorary Godfather, sharing the same birthday.

Congrats, TIS!! That's such exciting news. Another January 6 baby! Don't worry, so far only really great people have been born on that date, so he'll be fine. Look at me and JG... oh wait, never mind.

Hey, I thought January 6th was supposed to be Three Kings Day. We got two kings and a queen.

TIS! Congrats!



You mean two queens and a king, right?

Congrats,hope all is well with the new baby

Congratulations TIS!



Boy, you must be exhausted!

Glad everything went well and everybody is home safe and sound. And with a newborn, I'll bet there's a lot of sound!

Signor V.

I'll make this my official congrats TIS. It sounds like you really are walking on air. But then again, being a grandmother is the best job. You can love them, spoil them, fill them up with sugar and send them home. But since he was born on Geoff's bd you couldn't convince your daughter to make his middle name James or Geoffry?

You have 2 daughters, correct? Are all 3 grandbabies with the same mother?

Aw!! Thanks SC!

Yes, a "masculine" child is quite new. I am certain, having had two nephews, that I changed a diaper or two, however it's been many many years. When it came time for a diaper change, the two other little ones (ages 4 & 2) and my other daughter and I gathered around like it was an "event" . We waited for the other little ones to make some comment and they didn't let us down. They pointed and said "What's that?"


Btw, this cracked me up. My daughter heard from someone in the hospital that there is this cone shaped thingy that you put over a little boy baby so you don't get sprayed. Do you know what it's called? A "PeePee Teepee".

Thanks for all the good wishes. Events like this are impossible for me "not" to share. You guys are wonderful!!!

TIS

TIS, I am so happy for you and your daughter's family. This is indeed a blessed event.

Never having boys myself, I have heard rumors about the "spray". I can just imagine!! I'm glad to hear that you're there to help, as they didn't give your daughter much of a chance to recover. May God continue to bless them all.

Congrats on the new addition to your family, TIS!!

I think I'll give Evan a "BB" connection and since they have the same birthdays, ask Geoff and Zia to be honorary Godparents. What do you think?????

Of course that means they (Geoff) better lead him down the right path, or they'll have me to deal with.

TIS

TIS, judging from JG's posts, if he is Evan's Godfather you will be sure he'll know the answer to "What's that?" lol

Excellent stuff, TIS. A brilliant way to kick off the year!

And here's to many more. Congratulations.

Ha ha!!! Let's hope so!


TIS

And right now, our esteemed Don Malta is probably hiding under his bed and shaking in his boots!

You will, of course, post some pictures eventually so we can all get properly mushy over your new grandson.

Signor V.

Congratulations TIS

I had posted in the other thread, but if you didn't see that, let me congratulate you again. I'm sure the little fella's going to get a lot of love.

Congrats TISsie!!!!

Congratulations TIS! That's wonderful news. Gorgeous name too!

TIS -

That's really wonderful news! Congratulations!

Here's wishing mom, dad, grandma and the baby the best!

I'm so happy for you as I know how you were looking forward to having another grandchild. Enjoy that baby -- GRANDMA!


Don Cardi

Another wonderful blessing for a wonderful grandma. Congrats, TIS!

TIS,
Congrats on your first grandson. What a wonderful blessing that is. Give mom and dad my best and give baby Evan a big kiss for me. And please post pic's as soon as you can.

Thanks again everyone!!

I couldn't resist going shopping for little boy clothes yesterday! What a different experience. My son-in-law is a diehard Lakers fan, and I was lucky enough to find a nice selection of infant Laker clothes. Among other things, I bought Evan a "Lakers" sleeper, with a Laker's cap and all. He looks soooo cute. Oh, and a little infant suit with a tie. It's so fun dressing babies how you want them to dress.

And Beth, yes, I do have two daughters, and only the one, Gina, has children, and baby Evan is her third. She has the patience of a Saint, so I have no doubt that she'll adapt very easily. God bless her.

TIS

Yes, Gina must be a saint. But I'm sure your other daughter enjoys her role as being the aunt who gets to spoil them and send them home. As their grandma does.

My family is just the opposite. I have a niece has has 2 boys, 2 years and 6 1/2 months. I have a niece who's pregnant with a girl. Natalie is due February 10. Her shower was Saturday. All I know is the doctors better be right and she's having a girl. Or some boy is gonna have about 250 pink outfits to wear. After buying clothes for 2 boys it's so much fun to buy the little pink dresses and outfits. I think she has enough outfits that she probably won't be able to wear anything twice before she outgrows them.

My other daughter, Angie, is loving her new nephew (and I believe will be Godmother to him) :). I think it might not be long before she starts a family. Boy, how quickly families expand hu? She was one who, at one time, a few years back, said "I'm never going to have kids." Now, I sense she's changing her mind.

Since you've bought things for little boys, one thing that always puzzled me is, what kind of little stocking stuffers do you buy for boys? For the grandaughters, there's always girly things, like ribbons/bows, pretend make-up and jewelry, etc. but I can't think of anything for a boy. I am planning ahead, as you can see.
