Congratulations Sue, to you and the parents.

Congratulations Sue! All the very best to you and yours.
June

I just got back , having had no access the whole of Christmas. I am so thrilled for you , you dear old Grannybat! It is the best news ever that all is well and they are healthy and happy.

Thank you everyone. I still have a silly grin on my face.

Congratulations, Sue, to you and your daughter and son-in-law! Wonderful news.

How wonderful for you, Sue! I know you have been anxiously waiting and I'm glad everything went well! As for being born close to Christmas, my oldest son was born on the 21st and his son was born on the 20th of December. When my oldest was younger, I used to throw a small party for him in June. It's just not fair when people combine your birthday with Christmas as far as the presents go, so this always pleased him. My daughter-in-law is thinking about doing this for Spencer (grandson) also.

Congratulations Sue, what a wonderful Christmas present.

What a wonderful Christmas present, Sue.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Can't wait till I become Grandma for the first time in April.

Does the little fella have a name yet?

Alexander Philip - Philip is not only my son's name but is Gareth's father's name so double connection.

Sue- Congratulations to you and your family.
I went to look at the picture. Very cute.
Is this your first Grandchild?

The boy's name Alexander \a-lexa-nder, alex(an)-der\ is pronounced al-ek-ZAN-der. It is of Greek origin, and its meaning is "man's defender, warrior". From the Latin form of the Greek name Alexandros. The name was probably coined originally as a title of the goddess Hera, consort of Zeus. Alexander the Great (356-323 BC) conquered and ruled the greater part of the known world before his death at the age of 33. History describes him as a man of high physical courage, impulsive energy, and fervid imagination.
The boy's name Philip \ph(i)-lip\ is pronounced FIL-ip. It is of Greek origin, and its meaning is "horse lover". Biblical: one of the 12 apostles.

Yes, my first.

Congratulations Sue.

And a very masculine, dignified name for a very handsome baby, too!

Yep ... I'd agree ! That seems an outstanding name for a young man to grow into!

Congratulations Sue, you couldn't ask for a better Christmas present. He's certainly got a name to live up to

Just found this thread today. Sorry it is late but Congratulations Grandma Sue. How wonderful for you all. Best wishes to Mom and Dad too.

Thank you all, I heard him making little baby noises (not crying) on the 'phone, so sweet.

Congratulations, he is a beautiful baby.
