My "baby" (i.e. my youngest D) has just been round with some exciting and quite unexpected news - she is 9 weeks pregnant - babe due in January.

We really thought that she and her OH were not planning a family - how wring could we be!

We are thrilled!

...and rightly so, anno. That's such good news and isn't it marvellous when kids find their niche. smile

Lovely news from all of you. You make me feel I'd like another GC to cuddle. Waiting for the GGC!

The good news in my family is about GD1 who had a struggle at school because her dyslexia was never acknowledged until 6th form college. However, she managed to get a place on a foundation course in fashion production and technology at Manchester Metropolitan Uni and has now finished the second year with such excellent marks that she is automatically accepted into the third year of the degree course next year. She has worked very hard for it and I'm so proud of her.

Mishap & Golden Congratulations - last year I became a GG (at only 62) and I am enjoying GGD so much, not working now and have more time.

Fabulous news Bags! There seems to be something in the air with all these babies being announced xx

Mishap Mon 25-Jun-12 17:43:47

Congrats to Bags too - it seems to be catching!
I have just heard from my brother that my niece is pregnant (almost identical due date to my D) - this niece has undergone so much infertility treatment, so it is an extra delight. No doubt my D and her cousin will be comparing notes all the way.

My poor Dad will never be able to keep up with all the GGC!

Mishap & golden I'm so happy for both of you, I remember how I felt when I got such news and hope I will repeat it in a few years. Do keep us all up to date with progress.

Shouldn't we have a baby emoticon?

How lovely, Mishap and golden - so much to look forward to!

Hunt we had a visit from a baby (and his parents) on Saturday and I just had to hold him! Our youngest DGC is 5 and I don't think there will be more babies.

Exciting news, mishap. flowers

As I heaved a bundle of clean washing into the airing cupboard I thought to myself 'It's a long time since I held a baby in my arms' so I really envy you all these lovely new babies. My granchildren range from 16 to 23 so probably a bit longer to wait!
