She's here! She came early this morning. I won't get to see her for a few more hours as the new family is exhausted from the birth. I don't know all the specifics. Ryan texted me at 4 am. You don't think your heart can handle all the love you feel for one child, let alone four. But my heart just got a bit bigger. Welcome to my first grandchild, Anwen Noel. I get the name but oh my, I know what she is going to go through.

I suppose it did. Amazing how different you feel just knowing that you are a grandparent. Those of you who visit me on the alt have been getting to see her, she is just like her name says...beautiful. I have offered to go over with the girls and babysit for a couple of hours Saturday so they can just get some extra rest or run some errands. They may not think they need it but they will especially with school starting next week for S19. S19 made a comment about being on diaper duty on FB. I said they should take turns. Ex's new wife actually commented to me that GF nurses so S19 should change diapers, that is taking turns. Crazy how mad that made me that she even commented to me. Minor set back. I will bounce back from it. Maybe even grow up if I should. lol

I could see her comment setting your teeth on edge but she has a point. My family thought it was bizarre that Gabe and I took turns with Marc. I didn't nurse (tried to but Marc would latch on) so it was easier to alternate. We mostly did every other night unless he had to work very early the next day. It saved my sanity and health!
She is absolutely beautiful.
If I may ask, where did the name Anwen come from?

It means beautiful in Welsh. It sounds kind of Elfish so I wonder if it wasn't a name from the Hobbit series. Really don't know but now we will have more in common with people having a time with our names! Poor baby.
