He has arrived... Meet "Wade Todd Leventis"....my first grandchild. Born on Friday, January 25, 2008, his birthing process seemed to come right out of a text book. I received a call on Thursday, the 24th, from Meagan that she was going in the next morning. I arrived at the hospital around 11 am and Todd called me to come back to see Meagan. I could not believe how cool and collected she was...smiling and so cheerful and excited...she very casually said she could start pushing when the doctor arrived at noon! (Crazy...but I seem to remember that my body told me when to push...and I didn't have alot of control...guess I forgot to read the book called "The Perfect Birth"...maybe Meagan should write it!)

Anyway, about an hour later...Wade arrived!He was a fat little thing...weighing 8 pounds and 12 ounces, 21 inches long. Still seeing my firstborn holding her firstborn still brings complete joy to my heart.

They came home on Sunday and I stayed for a few days. I love holding my grandson...and if I could bottle the smell of a newborn, I would be rich...holding him close is intoxicating and I feel such peace and tranquility.

I'm so impress with Meagan's mothering skills. It is almost like she has grown into a new person with her additude and efficiency of great parenting. I am so proud of her.

And Todd, can't forget the "Baby's Daddy"... he is handsome on the outside and beautiful on the inside.

Wade Todd is so lucky to be born to such wonderful parents. Welcome baby Wade! GRANDMOMMY LOVES YOU!
