Congrats. Just think, now you have all the joy of having a child, but when he/she is being bold you can ship "it" back home.

Congrats! Spoil the hell out of your grandkid, and laugh at your son/dauther's frustration.

I'm expecting my first in December. My Dad will be 61 when she is born, he will be a grandpa too for the first time. I can tell you though being a first time father is maybe just a tad more exciting then being a first time grand father..at least it is for me. Well maybe not, being a grandfather is just as special because you see the fruit of your labor now having a child. At least you have been there and done that! LOL

Congrats!

Remember, it's always appreciated when you slip your grandchild a ten spot.

My dad is 62 and is still only a dad, but to think he started pretty late so it happens.

The only thing I don't like about being a grandfather is acknowledging that I'm a grandfather Otherwise it's the greatest thing in the world! I love my little grandbuddy...8 mos old at the end of the month!
