My daughter is to become a mother, perhaps not world breaking news but but we never thought this would happen for various medical reasons.

We are over the moon for her and her partner of 6 years and I pray that everything will be alright for them both.

Had to share bursting with happiness.

kitty it certainly is smile. It was DS1s birthday today so I had a good excuse to visit again for more cuddles.

Thank you hummingbird he is more fourth GC but just as wonderful and special as the first three.

gracesmum even if I am lucky enough to afour more DGC I don't think I will ever get to grips with opening /folding these new fangled buggies grin

Congratulations to you and yours. smile

Nothing in life will ever be the same for you again. If you though you knew what love is about because you are a mum - just wait until you are a granny. Oh my goodness. It truly is a very different thing altogether and just just just.......ah well. Is there anyway at all in can be put into words? I think not smile

Congratulations to all us existing, new and soon-to-be grannies - it's just the best feeling! wine.

My first little darling was born in December - he came out of hospital and straight to our family gathering on Christmas Eve. While we were toasting our new addition, my daughter announced that we had another on the way - it was the best Christmas ever! 5 weeks to go and counting....sunshine

It was so wonderful reading all your comments I had tears in my ideas with many.

My daughter felt the first movement this week it's a little early 18 weeks but things seem to be running along as normal so fingers crossed and thanks ago for your interest.

I dropped a jokey sort of hint to DD the other day about her having more children!
DGS is only 8 mnths and a poor sleeper.

The only reply I got from DD was a very loud Humph! grin

Update on my first grandchild.

My daughter sent me a recording by e-mail of peanuts (name at the moment for this precious bungle) heart beat, how amazing that this technology allows us to hear this.

Peanut is kicking which is also a good sign.

How wonderful. Isn't it the most amazing thing!!

I cried when I heard precious first GS's heart for the first time.

Not sure if that makes me sad ...or just only granny to one at the moment!!
