Thanks everyone, I will make sure I am home for this birth. Our first Grandchild was almost two weeks early and we were in Europe on a cruise for my parents 50th anniversary. (We had planned it a year in advance.) By the time we found out about the birth, our Grandson was already 5 days old :eek: I was so upset. But of course I cried. My Mom took a picture of me and my Husband at a phone booth in Amesterdam crying and jumping up and down. Then we all got the flu over there, and had to see him from a distance for the first time. We have made up for the time since then. My Daughter in law said "No cruises in June!!)
