It's granddaughters - two of them.

[TomSlick]

I'm just back from NW Arkansas for the birth of two granddaughters - identical twins.

One is in the NICU (strangely, the larger of the two) but expected to be released soon. The older brother's third birthday is next week. I'm driving back tomorrow after fighting some fires at the office.

Look out world. There are two more little Slicks.

8. OMG Identical twin girls. CONGRATULATIONS.

Is it too early to send in their applications to law school?

I can see them both arguing a case in front of the Supreme Court now.

[TomSlick]

14. It may be slightly premature.

I suspect the girls will have their own opinions in the matter.

Thanks.

WTG Grandpa!!!!

[TomSlick]

26. Thanks.

I am known as G-Dad. (It somehow sounds less elderly.)

[3catwoman3]

67. Twin granddaughter - how exciting!

I’m a little late to the party, so to speak. I decided to reply here so I could tell you I really like the “G-dad” designation, and your rationale. I may adapt it to G-mom for myself should I ever have grandkids.

CONGRATULATIONS x2!!

[brer cat]

[Stuart G]

32. Congratulations..Wonderful News!!!

[Hortensis]

33. Oh, I'm so jealous! "Older brother." :) Congratulations, G-Dad.

[TomSlick]

34. Thanks. It's all exciting.

Older brother is, at best, curious but he hasn't held them yet.

[Hortensis]

37. Lol, our newborn daughter's older brother got a deluxe

set of Matchbox cars and trucks so it'd be a special day for him too.

So sweet. Our are all teens now. Fascinating in whole different ways.

[TomSlick]

42. A BIG birthday is planned for big brother.

Christmas will pale.

[Hortensis]

44. For all of you, no doubt.

[greatauntoftriplets]

35. Congratulations!

The biggest triplet spent some time in the NICU as well. The doctors said that he was stressed from the overcrowding. That might be what's going on with your granddaughters. And they're identical!

[TomSlick]

38. The medics don't appear alarmed or terribly concerned.

I'm trying to follow their example.

I've not been around a lot of twins, much less identicals. This should be fun.

[greatauntoftriplets]

41. Good. She'll be fine.

LOL, my other niece has twin girls. They're fraternal, as are the triplets. As a result, I've never dealt with identicals. They're interesting enough in their own right. Lots of fun, too.

It's good to hear happy news for a change. Glad you got a chance to be there for their birth, for them and their parents and big brother. Hope that you don't live far from them, so you can visit and enjoy them as they grow. Thanks for sharing the good news.

[TomSlick]

48. It's a five hour drive but the pickup knows the way.

I drove home today to fight fires and will drive back tomorrow for the weekend.

I'm up to the challenge.

[Leith]

[TomSlick]

57. Thanks.

[PatSeg]

53. Congratulations!

I have twin grandsons and it is such an unique and wonderful experience.

[TomSlick]

58. Thanks. I may be reaching out for advice.

I haven't been able to touch them yet (damned Covid) and already I'm wrapped around their little fingers.

[PatSeg]

61. What is really wonderful

is that they wake up every morning knowing they have their best friend to play with. What is really fascinating is that in spite of their many similarities and identical upbringing, they are very distinct individuals. When they combine their energies, they are quite a force of nature! Never a dull moment.

[Hekate]

54. Congratulations and joy to you all!

[TomSlick]

59. Thanks.

[MontanaMama]

55. What a gift!

Congratulations to you and yours. Nothing like babies to give hope.

[TomSlick]

60. Having babies is the epitome of optimism.

Our son and DIL are optimistic. The grandchildren make me determined. We WILL save this world and this country. There is no other choice.

[Totally Tunsie]
