Congratulations Sue1169! Have a safe journey, and all good wishes to you and your family.

Congratulations and good wishes from me too - the new baby sounds he's a good weight, and your daughter will soon recover PG.
Reminds me of the birth of my first grandson in Kuwait - they asked me to fly over because their live-in nanny/housekeeper had to go back to India because of a family crisis, and they both had to go back to work.I had a problem with the ticket too - my name spelt wrong.
I got there in the end, stayed for 2 weeks, wouldn't have missed it for anything. But I was surprised how nervous I was looking after the little fellow, such a responsibility. We all survived!

Very best wishes sue1169 only four days to wait plenty of time to go on baby spending spree enjoy the cuddles and seeing your family.Congrats from me.

Hope it goes well, baby makes progress, you have good flight. Enjoy and congratulations.

All good wishes from me too

4 days to calm down , GrannySue !
Births are always exciting and emotional times , I hope everything goes well. Congratulations and safe journey . x.

Sue Wishing you and your new little family well.
Hopefully you will get updates on how your DD and darling grandson are doing.

Oooh thank you all for your thoughts&congrats! Changed ticket but first available flight is New Years day so had to take that.will be chomping at the bit....COSTan extra £354 on top of original cost...seems unfair...but had to do it....cant wait to hold baby and hug my daughter and hubby ?xx

Congratulations, hope you manage to get there soon.
That's certainly a good weight for a baby with a month to go to birth date.

All best wishes to you and yours, sue1169. I hope you get out there very soon to cuddle your daughter and little Ralph.

Hope you arrive safely sue and congratulations, Christmas is a lovely time to have a baby in the family.

Wow! He's a big boy. I hope you get to see him and your daughter soon. Many congratulations

Congratulations sue, hoping the ticket change can be managed and you will be with them all soon.

So sorry Sue, I of course meant to first give you my congratulations and may you have many happy years watching Ralph grow up

Hi Sue,
One of my grandchildren was born in Doha, Qater, so before they returned to NZ I was able to see the little one who is now 4yrs of age and I hear really enjoyed this Christmas with her cousins from Canada

Sue - All good wishes to you and family.

Oh yes -God speed you on your way! Congratulations Gran.

Best of luck with your ticket. Congratulations to you and all the family. I bet you don't know which way is up at the moment. It all be right when your cuddling baby Ralph who despite his sudden arrival should be fine.

Good luck with getting your ticket changed. And congratulations. Hope Mum and baby will be in top form very soon. A good weight.

What a mixed bag of emotions - shocked, happy, worried and no doubt plenty more all at the same time! Hope you're able to get to her soon and all's well when you do, I'm sure you won't be able to relax until you see them for yourself.

Sue hope you manage to get your ticket changed quickly and you get to Dubai ASAP. I'm sure you won't stop to catch breath till you're with your daughter and baby Ralph but as you say he's a good weight so will have a bit of something to fight with if necessaary.

Congratulations to all the family. Please let us know when you're on your way
