Birth of daughter's first baby

Clementine, I do hope that your daughter & son-in-law's IVF is successful. Good luck to you all.

Thank you very much for your good wishes, everyone. My daughter & her husband are very loving and natural parents to their dear little baby boy. He arrived late in fact, but my husband did agree in the end that it was a good job we hadn't gone away .. just in case. The other members of both families are thrilled with the new arrival too and he's proving a real joy to both sets of grandparents as well as his uncles & aunts & cousins. We all feel very fortunate, and my daughter glows with happiness in spite of the inevitable tiredness which comes with new parenthood.

Congratulations Mutti how wonderful for your family xxxxx

Meant to add of course, Congratulations to Mufti and delighted it all worked out x

Im coming to this from a slightly different angle,my daughter and son in law are currently undergoing IVF and we have been thinking of booking a holiday, currently no baby on the horizon so Ive taken a chance and booked a spring break, in the hope that if they manage to conceive, the little one won't be due to put in an appearance until late summer . Obviously we will know before then whether or not she is falls pregnant, but if she does, I will probably still worry even though it wouldn't be due for a few months. Its a mum thing LOL

I suspect you've posted without reading the updates and congratulations granny piper.

JUST NO, if my DH had even uttered those words there would have been hell to pay. One tip mutti ask your DD and DSIL if you can be told of the babies arrival BRFORE it is posted on fakebook, my poor friend was super excited about the birth of her first Grandchild and was heartbroken when the world knew before her (she doesnt do F/B)

Congratulations mutti!

?

Good news mutti and congratulations. Were you around when the baby was born!

Congratulations glad all went well??

Congratulations mutti

Congratulations mutti. Did the date coincide with your cancelled holiday?

Congratulations Mutti, that's such good news for all of you x

Lovely news!

Congratulations to all mutti. Wonderful for you and your family.

Mutti thanks for letting us know. Congratulations. We will require forenames at least one baby picture. Enjoy your little one.

Just thought that those people who responded so kindly might like to know that my daughter had a gorgeous little boy six weeks ago and all is very well. Thank you all for your support. I have just posted a question on a new thread on the 'Ask a Gran' part of the forum about an issue affecting a different branch of the family, and I'm hoping for some equally enlightening and helpful replies.

I would not have gone away hope all goes well Mutti ?

Towards the end of September, Indinana. Thank you for your good wishes; I am indeed really looking forward to the arrival of the new little one, especially as this daughter has previously endured some miscarriages.

Hope all goes well. There's always plenty of time for holidays and you may need them if you are involved in childcare. Congratulations mutti and if by any chance you are German, that mean you will be oma , allies gut.

Hope all goes well mutti. Plenty of time for holidays in future.

Only if the holiday had been booked, otherwise I would probably wait until after the baby was born.

I wouldn't go either, and in fact we won't be booking any holidays after the 6 month stage if DD becomes pregnant again as she developed a severe case of pre-eclampsia at 32 weeks with her first.

We were actually booked on a holiday a few days after the early birth of DGD and cancelled when we saw how things stood in the hospital, even if she wasn't C-sectioned the next day (after admission) she would have been at some point during our 2 weeks away, and Mexico felt toooo far away ... didn't get ourselves organised again for about 9 months as it turned out!

Not sure what I'd do if it was booked and paid for but definitely wouldn't go if nothing was booked but, then again, nor would my DH.
