Miscellaneous Which side will the cradle fall?

[DavidUK]

First grandchild, a little girl (the word "little" may be superfluous), due today but the hospital aren't bringing in my daughter-in-law, to induce her if needed, until tomorrow.

Will it be a 2025 or 2026 baby?

Exciting either way!

Go to the bookies, put a bet on '26 and tell her to cross her legs.

What a lovely start to the new year. Hope all goes well for mum and baby.

I had my son just after midnight and remember saying to Dave shall we have him today or tomorrow 😂
He was born 00.07 hence called James

You can sit there going: year? Year! I can remember taking bets on which millennia!

MilleniA?
That was one hell of a labour.

Congratulations either way

I'm an expecting grandfather as well. Likely next month.
All the best!

Hey! That's going to be MY name... Grumps.
My wife will be known as Grandmama.
No child's name revealed before the birth, but when discussed options early on we favoured Adolf for a boy (little used nowadays) and Papaya for a girl.

I've made suggestive comments to my daughter and son-in-law that they need to get busy making a grandbaby for me. They just brush me off.

I'm beginning to wonder if they know how.

Congrats on your first.

Congrats on the new addition to the family. Whether 2025 or 2026, all will be happy, time is of no essence. Then you both will have plenty of opportunities to spoil the grandchild. I know from ours. 😉

December 31 @ 11:59 gets you the tax deduction for 2025.

I wanna be the Poppy. Wife wants to be Nana.

 

[Grumps]

I will be Grandpa or Grandfather. Only saxophonists from the online community know me as Grumps, though my current wife feels that is highly appropriate. But never "pop-pop" or other baby words like that and "nana". And of course I will refer to my ex-wife as Grandma H (most fitting). Current wife is going to be Bubbe... even though she's a gentile.

...still no baby... 2026 approaching...
Mum to be was induced many hours ago but baby is happy where she is.

Mum's body and baby knows when the timing is right. 😉

Where’s the whiskey and cigars thread ? The Dad section ? I couldn’t find it in “Bad Uncle” section.
