Another new baby in the family!

Lovely news Katek! Congrats all round. What a big girl! Orla is an Irish name, I suppose you know. It is spelt Orlaith in Irish but pronounced the same. Lovely name for a little girl.

Congratulations KateK, welcome to the happy band of great aunts

How lovely Katek!

Congratulations!

As well as being a great grandmother I am also a great greataunt, it is frightening sometimes!

Hello little Orla!
Babies are getting bigger and 10 pounders are commomplace now. My youngest of four big babies was 10lbs 9oz and her birth was very quick and easy. She was always a skinny child, only putting on weight after having her own 10 pounder three years ago.

Congrats to you and your family, KateK What a lovely name Orla has. It's lovely being a great aunt

Lovely name!

Thanks again to all! Have just received first pics of a lovely little girl. She is called Orla - very old and pretty name which apparently means 'golden princess'

Congratulations to all

Congratulations Katek. Lovely news.
I am a great aunt to nine, the eldest is 18 and the youngest 3 months old.

Lovely news - congratulations.

Congratulations to you all "Katek*

Congrats, katek!

Joyful news! A lovely big great niece, KateK. I have seven 'greats' two of whom are in NZ. I'm seeing the others soon when we celebrate my sister's 70th. One of my GSs was 10lb 10oz - but he's a skinny, wiry, almost 10 year old now! for great auntie.

How lovely KateK!
Welcome to the world of great aunties- I think that sounds a very dignified position somehow.
The weight made me wince

Conratulations Katek on your elevation to great-auntdom! I will never be an Aunt or G. Aunt as I was an 'only'
My middle DD was 9.10 and it was the easiest delivery of all three. My 8 gc's were all under 7lbs

Congratulations to all. Hope they haven`t bought too many first size clothes, they won`t be needed for more than a week!

Congratulations Great Aunt. I was a great aunt 11 yrs before I became a grand mother. That is a big baby.

Lovely news Katek. A new life is always a joyous occasion. What are they going to call their new baby?

I've been a great aunt for 25 years - I found the experience quite unnerving as I was only just 41.

I've been a Great Aunt for nearly 20 years. I suppose Great Great Aunthood might be beckoning soon.

Have a nice lie down and feel all happy when you wake up and remember your lovely (whopping) great niece!

Correction...my dc not dgc! Think I need a lie down!

Posted too quickly! Thanks for all the good wishes, it's just lovely to have another new baby in the family!

My dgc were tiny at around 6lb and that was bad enough! I feel as a great aunt I should go a bit Margaret Rutherford or perhaps Joan Hickson??
