I just thought I would introduce Mia hope, born 6/2/16 at 11.35 pm.

First pic, the one on the scales, pic with Mummy and pic with Granny!

She is beautiful and I am blown away by how much I love her already and how much stronger her being born has made my bond with my eldest daughter!

She weighed 7lbs 12 ozs, was born with the help of forceps.

It surely cannot get better!!

I went over today, as DD was crying at me last night. I took our 'tame midwife' as in my close friend who is a MW with me. She sorted out her feeding issues. I stayed and gave my GD her first bath. I gave both parents a lot of support and encouragement. DSIL was giving DD drinks of water with a straw while she was breastfeeding. He also made toast that she allowed to go cold, so he made fresh! I am not worried about DD's care!

That "falling in love" moment! When you look at that perfect little face, and hold that perfect, most cuddlesome little body.......congratulations! It just gets better from here!

Thanks for sharing these photographs with us - wonderful time for the family. Someone once told me "you love your children but you are in love with your grandchildren" - how true!!

Congratulations - I was so unprepared for that rush of love I felt for my 1st granddaughter when I saw her 18 years ago - it never changes either. Enjoy every moment - before you know it she'll be at uni and moving in with her boyfriend smile

Our little Granson arrived 3 weeks early on the 23rd January. he caused some panic but is now doing well. Oh, those first cuddles and thoughts of all the love and fun to come.

Congratulations new Grandma and to your lovely little family. Lovely photos. It is a wonderful feeling when you meet for the first time.

I have just heard I am to be a Grandma again...number five (and last). I can't wait, and I have been asked if I want to be present at the birth by my daughter-in-law.... only 30 weeks to go!!
