I am to become a grandmother for the first time

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!!

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.

Congratulations to you both!

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!

Lovely news Jeanie99, many congratulations.

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.

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

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....

Congratulations to you and yours.

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

kitty it certainly is . 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

....isn't that just the truth! Nothing is the same!!
Makes one wonder how ours survived.

Welcome to the best club in the world!! Prepare to worry like you have never worried before, to love the little chap/ess so much you would lie down in front of a bus for him/her and to feel that despite raising your own children pretty damn well, you know absolutely NOTHING about babycare in the 21st century

Congratulations, Sook! And good wishes to the grans-to-be. You are about to embark upon the most wonderful adventure - enjoy every moment!

Fourteen years ago, my daughter lived 200 miles away from us, and had been married for 12 years. She went into hospital to have an operation on a varicose vein.Unable to visit, I sent flowers through Interflora. Later that evening, she rang to say that the hospital had sent her home.as they couldn't perform the operation.Immediately, I worriedly exclaimed; "Why not?"She then told me "Because I,me pregnant, mum."Then we both burst into tears of joy! My first grandchild was born 9 months later, on Mothers Day.Wonderful!

You are all so lucky! Congrats especially to the new gran to be.

Persie smiled at me for ages this morning. Isn't it fabulous?

Congratulationsjeanie99 and SueL123 I've had the pleasure of nursing my 2 day old grandchild it is a wonderful feeling

Congratulations both

Thanks Nellie DD3 has a friend who is a community midwife who suggested they go for it after each miscarriage and also quickly after Bettie was born. It seems to work!!!

Wonderful news Jeannie and Sue, hope all goes swimmingly.

jeannie and Sue wonderful news for you both. I hope all goes well and that you will keep us all informed. Congrats all round

Congrats to you too Sue!

jeanie and SueL - you have so much to look forward to. Congratulations to all concerned.

Kittylester Re getting pregnant soon after a miscarriage; I had heard that this can, for some unknown reason, be more successful than waiting.

This seem to prove the case against what was conventional wisdom.

Of course that should say 'I was slightly '
