Huge congrats Sheldon

See the baby Thomas,
he weighs 5 pounds 1 ounces,
he is so cute and pink,
I wonder if he bounces?

Does this mean you have to go to shudder NJ to see him?

Aliantha · 07-08-2009, 12:19 AM

Good stuff Sheldon.

How long till you put your hand up for babysitting duties?

Sun_Sparkz · 07-08-2009, 07:28 AM

For a 2month premmie baby he looks so good! no weird wrinkly pink bits and lots of weight on.

My own belly full of arms and legs is 33weeks old now (which is also possibly going to be a Thomas!) so I guess it would look very similar to this baby... interesting. thanks for the pic sheldon.

Sheldonrs · 07-08-2009, 09:03 AM

Thanks all! And yes, I will be flying back to NJ in August to mee the new Siegel. :-)

And babysitting is not in my job description. :-) I had to babysit his daddy and now it's HIS turn to change the diapers! Muahahahaha!!!

Wait, what? Did I miss this earlier, or did you keep yourself all lurker-quiet about it? Congratulations, Sparkz!

gonna be anywhere near Cherry Hill?

5lbs is a very decent size for a preemie!
Love to all involved and congrats to you.

Re Great or Grand - stick with Great.
I was fonder of my Great Aunt Alice (now deceased, the only one of the five - how bad is my luck!) than I ever was of my Nan. See, we got around the Great bit there

This is what comes of having older sisters you see.
My niece might do it to my bro yet...

Not too far. Clifton for my sisters and Hopatcong for my nephew and his wife and baby.

You are welcome and Congrats to you too! We could have Tom Toms soon. hahaha

I love the idea of being a Great Aunt. I'd love that. I know I would. I'd have to grow my heair and learn to put it in a tight bun...and get me some pinch nez glasses...and be completely scatter brained. Actually, I think I have the last bit covered...

LOL, lurker hush is my specialty

thanks for the congrats tho - doesn't feel like I have done much yet though..

Re: the "Great" debate - i like the great title. but for grandparents i like grandad, pop and nanna. I guess it makes a lot of difference what you grew up with and the fondness you have developed through your own experience of titles.

I've always loved the title "nonna" for a nan. i think this is an italian term, and i'm not italian so we probably wont be using it but i do think its very "warm and cosy".

Perhaps we need to come up with some new grandparents titles. Traditions have to start somewhere right?
