Author notes
Ha, a postpartum poem. Not my best but it's an effort and I thought it would be fun to make an announcement in poetic form. Rictameter lends itself well to this I think.

ahh... love found in a bungle...
wise eyes and full of coos where love is known by child's reaching grasp.
This did make me smile!

I know how proud you must be. I have a five year old granddaughter. My first grandchild and am expecting my first grandson which will be here in two months. I'm so very proud. I once met an older man that wore a hat which read. "If we had known grandkids were so much fun. We would have had them first" I think the greatest part of life is watching your children have children. How amazing it is for both them and you. Life is full of gifts, but none campare.

May he live long and prosper and in time, return once more to his "squishy little old man face"..Nicely done.
