NEW GRANDCHILD

Technology in the 21st Century is phenomenal. When I was pregnant, I had to wait 9 months until the birth of my children to learn their sex. But now-a-days, not only do new parents learn their child’s sex early in the pregnancy with an ultra-sound test, they also receive a sneak-preview of their baby with photos taken en-utero near the end of the pregnancy. My son, Rick, and daughter-in-law, Jen, sent me these photos and it over-whelmed me to see my unborn granddaughter’s little face with her eyes open and her tongue sticking out of her mouth.

But the best part came after the baby was born. Rick and Jen live 150 miles from me and so I would not see my granddaughter for another couple of weeks. But Jen took her Iphone to the hospital and within three hours of Lily’s birth, Jen sent me a few photos that she took of the newborn baby with her phone. Furthermore, when they brought Lily home, the greatest invention of all time, the webcam, let me view live-video of my new granddaughter when we both had our computers turned on at the same time. All I can say is UNBELIEVABLE!!

I’m so glad to live in the 21st century and only wish I new what the centuries ahead will bring.
