I am to become a grandmother for the first time

jeanie, you have years of fun ahead of you! Congratulations to you and your family.

jeanie congratulations

As everyone else has said, it's brilliant! I've had the pleasure of my two youngest (oh, and their mother!) here this morning. They are aged 16 months and 2 months and it was wonderful, especially now I've put the house back together again

DD3, their mum, had 3 miscarriages prior to successfully carrying her first to full term and it was a very traumatic pregnancy. I was slightly [shocked] when she announced that she was pregnant again so soon but all went well and she now has a boy and a girl. I suspect that won't be the end of it either.

You'll love it

I had that news in March 2012 when DD rang. We chatted for a bit and then she said "Well what I really rang to tell you was that I am 8 weeks pregnant". I replied "Oh thats wonderful" and promptly burst into tears.

Its a wonderful moment! Even better when you see and hold the end result for the first time. I hope all goes well. Enjoy.

inthefields yes, the euphoria cushions that blow to the bank account!

This was me a year ago!!!

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS

And let me tell you a secret that no-one told me: you are literally going to fall in love again, and at first sight ...... there is no feeling in the world like looking at that precious face for the first time!

I wish you so much joy in the coming months..... I spent a small fortune

Fabulous news jeannie and Sue. I hope everything goes well for them

Just found out my son and his soon to be wife are expecting a baby boy, so very excited! First grandchild for us, never thought we would see the day!!

Congratulations to all of you! Please tell us more. How far on is she? How did they tell you? Thanks for sharing the happiness - it seems to be in short supply at the mo
