'Twas not to be. The daughter had a C-section yesterday morning, and J has a 3-month premature grandson. Both mother and baby are doing well. Whew. It was getting kind of scary there.
Here's hoping things stay good. That can be kinda scary. And vicarious congratulations

Thank you. His parents set up a blog, so I'm following his adventures. I just ordered some stuff online for him. However did people have babies before the internet?

They went out in the field and gave birth and then kept working or something. Nowadays -- well, as J was being wheeled into the OR she gave me her phone to finish sending a text message to her friend in another time zone who was keeping her blog readers informed.

The online ordering thing is really nice, too. (It means, among other things, that you can find preemie stuff that isn't just pink or blue.)
