There's just something about a newborn …I'd love to share her photo with you, but that's something I haven't done [with the other two grandchildren] and won't do with her. If my children want to plaster baby photos all over the internet, that's one thing, but I think it's their privilege, not mine.
That said, she's adorable! I bet you knew I'd say that. Heh. I was at the hospital six hours Saturday and five hours Sunday and she slept in my arms the whole time, unless she was feeding. Or pooping. That's how newborns roll: They sleep, eat and poop.
I was able to pick up some things my son and his wife needed while I was there. The baby was two weeks early and while they were ready, there were still a couple things to do. So I was somewhat useful, when I wasn't lounging around the hospital room watching her sleep.
I didn't knit a stitch, nor did I break a sweat. But I also didn't have much time to eat. Lack of food plus lack of exercise means I should be holding my own.
Not nearly as soul-satisfying as holding my granddaughter.

Great photo.
Babies always seem to sleep better in grandmas' arms. I bet it is because "new mamas" or a little tense at first and babies can pick up on it. I know Fang Jr. and Grumpette always fell asleep in their MiMi's arms.
new babies are far more satisfying than dieting.
You did the best thing possible :) Letting your children decide about posting baby pictures is very considerate. We know this one is beautiful even without a picture!
