Have been preoccupied, about a week, just skimming rpca. Have even whipped
the Evil 3 into a frenzy of nerves here, even porker short furry people that
they are, all of us anxiously awaiting word from Denver on imminent arrival
of my first barekitten there.....early today - St. Paddy's (and *no one* on
either side has Irish roots, hee hee) a 7#8oz girl made her appearance on
this earth as my first grandkid. Her parents are wiped-out tired: get this,
Yowie: the hospital throws Mom out the same day: they're HOME! I was
horrified, but as son points out, the hospital is only half a block
away.....but still. I told him, AFA the day of birth, there will *always* be
a party going on somewhere on her birthday, even if all are wearing green.
There are worse days to be born on.....such as Christmas or Halloween.
Actually, if I had to pick one of those, I'd go for Halloween. Kowabunga!
Cigars for all! Cat treats all around! *We* are partying in south FL
tonight.

Congratulations!! Does this little Barekitten have a name yet?
March 17 is a great birrthday. Even in Denver, hard winter is about over, and
the little barekitten will be 5-1/2 when she starts kindergarten.
How exciting for you!

Whoa! Patricia would be a good one......but they were hoping to have her on
my birthday, which was last Sat. I'm glad they didn't; the 13th sometimes
falls on Fri. This is more fun.
Havana Anisa is her name. Thanks for the congrats; I'll pass them on when
her parents wake up.
LOL - son told me if you have a Caeserean (sp.?) you get to stay *2* days in
hospital. How things have changed since he was born.....I'll tell you a way
to get to stay in a week and a half: have a heart attack; ROFL. But
intensive care unit is like being in the slammer. Try eating your food off
of your chest, for one thing. I got good at that.
BTW they caught the Ohio sniper; I was wrong; he headed west after all &
they arrested him in Vegas at his motel. Still driving the green Geo,
though.

No fair. I had a quad bypass and only stayed 5 days. Can you see a "Drive Thru
Tonsillectomy" clinic in the future?

Okay, I want grandkids, but not from my kids, yet.  Mandy is "too"
young, and Mike couldn't support his own cat, let alone a barekitten
right now.  Anyone know of someone who needs an honorary grandmother?

Well, I don't have any grandparents, since they all died ages ago.  But then
again, I'm almost 32, so you may want to keep your eyes out for someone
younger ;-)

Hey, I have all sorts of honorary kids (all single, d*mn it) so I can
use honorary grandkids.  Does this mean that I get to be Vino's
great-grandmeow?  I like that.

My mother would like a standby grandmother. Abi has been extremely
clingy to her remaining grammy since her mawmaw passed away last Sunday.
I haven't seen Abi but maybe a couple hours all week. And while Mom has
been extremely patient and understanding, she's also exhuasted ;).

Does this mean that I get to be your grandmother?  Or grandmother to
possible children?  Either way count me in.  What can I do to spoil you,
can I have numerable pictures, Will you call me on my Birthday?  Can I
call you on your birthday?  Can I buy toys for you?  How about a kiddy
chair?

LOl not sure how I missed this gem. I meant I'd be on the honorary
grandma list to be someones grandma.  :)  Since it won't happen for
real, I'm adopting neices, nephews, friends kids, etc just waiting for
them to have kids I can act like a grandma to.  :)

Well, partly in despair over *ever* getting grandkids, I've been acting like
a grandparent to CATS for years, which is okay but now that I have a hoomin
granddaughter got to adjust my thinking/behavior. Example: son & wife get
way huffy when I call baby's cries "bellowing for food" as in cat life. When
I finally get to hold her, must *not* give ear scritches! But kisses will be
okay.

My daughter was born six years ago yesterday as well.

I *thought* seriously *thought* that they can't turn a baby loose for
48hours and a momma 24. This disturbs me greatly. Grr.
Congrats all around Hops :)

BTW, Gracie, comfort purrs to all at your place at loss of your MIL. Hope DH
is a little better.
But, are you kidding, 24 hrs? She had her baby @ 1:15 a.m.
yesterday.....when I called and talked to son last night (8-ish their time)
she and baby were home! And the hospital has all these fancy rooms like the
one she had, where you labor, deliver, and recover, with DH welcome for all,
right in same room the whole time.
They live a few doors from the hospital so I'd call that "stroll-by" and not
"drive-by" delivery.

Drive through would have worked fine for my daughter when she had her three.
And after my sister-in-law had her second in record time after arriving at
the hospital, they told her if she had another to just stay home.  Or she
would have it in the car on the way.

When Vicki's second son was born, they called us when she left for the
hospital.  We stopped by her neighbors to pick up her older son, and by the
time we got to the hospital (less than 1 1/2 hours) she was sitting up in
bed scarffing down lunch.  The baby was in the room with her and we all got
to pass him around etc.

It is just very unfortunate that they take an exception like this and treat
it as a norm they expect everyone to conform to.

Congrates

I thought a law/regulation that the mother must stay at least 24 hours after
the birth. If was found that the too quick stays were upping ER use due to
coplications missed in such a brief stay. And were/are more expensive that
staying longer after birth.

Woo Hoo!!  Congrats Grandmeow!!!  You are so lucky.  Glad that the
barekitten made it into our world with a minimum of muss, fuss, and
bother, and that you get to spoil her.  Have you started your toy box yet?

My Mom had what I thought was a really cute idea for the grandkids as they
got to the right age.  She had a large copper kettle - with spout and lid
that sat on her fireplace as a decoration.  It was filled with those cheap
plastic cowboys and Indians that kids like and similar stuff.  They knew
right where to go to get "their" stuff.

Everyone *is* doing well. Mom swears she's in great shape, has almost
forgotten the brief suffering (but *not* the hard work involved) in
birthing, Dad finally got some shuteye, and....just as we were hanging up,
the Newborn bellowed for a feeding and I concluded its - uh, "her" - must
stop calling it an "it" - lungs were in A1 shape to produce such volume at
such a tender age of 1 day. They thank you all for your loving concatulatory
purrs & wishes.
