Soop's KITCHENERS

I am higorant but what's the difference between a fawn and a deer? Is a fawn a baby deer?

Wonderful photos, Soop! Such lovely creatures ??

Has bags made some celebratory flapjacks?

Have an appointment at a Glasgow hospital (next week) for a pre-assessment prior to procedure under anaesthetic.

A fawn visited the garden fence this morning. Mother loitered in the shadows. She knew that her youngster was safe with us.

I would dance a jig if I didn't have dodgy hips.

Cherrytree Welcome to the kitchen. Sit yourself down. Champagne for you? or would you prefer a ? Isn't this a joyful occasion.

YAY!!!! and much more besides. Alea It took some time for me to fall asleep. I thought to myself, this is crazy. The baby will come in his/her good time. I'm absolutely delighted for you and your family. He is absolutely gorgeous. As is Loopyl's new grandson.
Virtual (((cuddles))) are in order.
Pop the Champagne cork. Let's all celebrate.

I meant the babe was lovely, not your SiL, although I'm sure he Is as well.

Congratulations Alea ! you've been very brave. Oh, and Congratulations to your daughter and son in law as well. He is lovely.

I hope they do keep your daughter in for another night. I bet the whole family could do with a restful night. Enjoy your cuddles with him.

Yeah congratulations! Alea Here we grans are again swooning and celebrating a lovely new baby again. We all want a virtual cuddle.

Babies being nature's way of getting back at the teenage years when they either kept us up worrying about where they were or woke us up coming in at 5 am!!

Alea I think that your SIL could do with a good 8 hours sleep before the baby and his wife come home. Let's face it, it will be the last undisturbed night he may have for many years to come!

Hoping actually they give DD another night as she only got to the ward after 2, and was frankly exhausted by Saturday morning! My goodness wasn't it different in our day? I had 8 days each time (C sections) with enforced bed rest before lunch which at the time seemed so long, but once home and the reality kicked in, sometimes I longed for a friendly nurse and another pair of hands, especially in the middle of the night!!

He is absolutely gorgeous- I do not know about your DD and SIL but we have all had a very long labour! It had to be a boy, lagging behind for so long! I am assuming that all the family will be home sometime today? He is so peaceful, he has no idea how many folk have been biting their nails waiting for his arrival.

I hope that Grace is not going to feel jealous.

Oh, absolutely gorgeous alea. Poor SIL, it's all been very exhausting for him! Hope the champagne's cooling nicely, hope you get to see the little one soon, and hope we get all those essential details before too long. ?

Congratulations, Alea ! He'll bring many years of to you all!

Photo at 4.25 -or should be!
However, if you twist my arm I will repost.
DD3 has taken food into the hospital for them (!) , prob more the sort of things they like than average hospital food and said she saw SIL but not mum and baby who got to the ward around 2. SIL is still shell shocked probably somewhere between cloud 9 and comatose after 3 days and nights and was unable to give birth weight, name or even how the baby arrived - clearly his ante natal preparation had NOT quite prepared him for this

Alea and and He looks beautiful and you must be longing for that first cuddle. xxx

Is it my iPad? I don't see a photo?!

Hurrah!! Congratulations Alea, he looks gorgeous! You must all be relieved and thankful and so happy.
??????????

Just popped in to say Congratulations to grandma Alea
A lovely wee boy, what a joy!

While I'm here just like to say hello to everybody.
I'm usually just in the corner of Soop's kitchen quietly listening whilst you all have your 'blether'

Welcome to the new baby alea. Let us have the details and a photo whenever you can. You must be exhausted!! Great news,

Welcome to the world little boy and Good Morning to everyone from a beautiful sunny morning on the S.E. Hampshire coast.

The washing machine is busy doing the laundry, DH is busy doing his crossword and puzzles and I am busy checking up on GN. Looking forward to the champagne later to celebrate the new kitchen extension and of course, the new baby! Hope you managed to get some sleep Alea.

Alea, very .many congratulations, on the new arrival!! ????
