2017 Babies

Congratulations. My son and dil are expecting their first baby in June, they are also in Canada. Myself and teenage son will be visiting in August to see the new baby and already very excited about it.
This will be my 3rd grandchild, other two are 8 and 7.

Congratulations, hope all goes well for you & for all families of 2017 babies.
We are looking forward to the safe arrival of DD's 2nd daughter, ( they have 2+year-old), at the end of March. They are overseas, so we won't "see" them until the summer, when they are all moving back to UK. We are lucky see them via Skype, at least weekly.
This will be our 5th GC, Our DS & DIL have 2 daughters & 1 son, (aged 14,10 & 7.) we feel blessed.

My DD is just 8 weeks we already have GS aged 19 months looking forward to the time ahead if we all accept we are going to be busy & tired anyway we will all manage

Congratulations bbnan. My DIL Is expecting her baby early may. We are all very excited as she has had several miscarriages but this one is going well. Good luck to all other soon-to-be grandmas.

DGS2 due in May, DD is hoping for a "natural" birth after DGS1 was born my "emergency ceaser". Just in case I shall be around all of May, baby due 26th but DGS1 was about 2 weeks early.

Congratulations to all other expectant Grandparents & good luck to all those expectant Mums

Our beautiful granddaughter was born on 3rd January. She is our first granddaughter although we have 3 grandson (only 2 with us now ?) and knitting needles are merrily clicking x

Congratulations. Our granddaughter was born 1st January. 4th grandchild but the only girl and a big gap, youngest GS is 8. She is of course beautiful and I did lots of knitting and crotchet for her..

My OH's DD1 is expecting twins in May, she doesn't want to know the sex. He has 3 GC and I have 4 GD's, 7 soon to be 9, all 8 and under and all treated as our GC. I didn't ever think I would have so many lovely GC.

No more grandchildren for us, but I have just got a new grand-puppy. My DS & his family have just got a puppy Cockapoo and he's adorable - much like a new baby.

New grandchild due early September to son and lovely, very new wife. DS is like a dog with two tails, it's lovely to see. Fingers crossed for all expectant grandparents!

Congratulations to all the expectant Grandparents its very exciting to have new life coming into the family. Mine are all the of my life.

Arry and kipper congratulations on your very new arrivals.
My eldest DGD will soon be 20!!
Youngest is 6 so it's been a while since we had babies around.
BUT DS was married last year and I know they're keen but not rushing - so maybe 2018??

We became grandparents for the third time last week to our second granddaughter. Our GS lives in NZ. Although so far away we have weekly Skype where we see and chat to him, mummy and daddy. DIL has me signed up to a site run by his nursery where I can see what activities he's up too. Good luck and many congrats on your good news

More lovely GC - how exciting!

My daughter is expecting her second baby in May. We are thrilled as she's suffered five miscarriages.

Both of my DGC are now over 2 and I am hoping that the DiLs won't wait too long before becoming pregnant again - they all intend to have more than one child.

But I daren't say anything.

Congratulations OP and everyone else with new DGC due this year.

My DIL is having a bit of a traumatic time at the moment. She is due in May with my second grandson but my first DGS will only be 2 at the end of June. She is off work and is supposed to be on bed rest taking it easy, but she and DS have just moved into a new apartment. They live in Lisbon and it is on the 3rd floor with NO lift!

I'm so looking forward to going to stay with them but I think once I've climbed those stairs I'm not going out until it's time to go home!

I have just had a new baby grandaughter, born yesterday. 6lb4oz all well

No, thank goodness, but congratulations to you.

Me too - my DIL had 12 week scan yesterday, so little brother/sister for Emilia aged 2 yrs.

I have one due in approx 4 weeks don't know sex don't care will be 5th GC exciting times .

That's fabulous news, congratulations. I'm hopeful as my DD has just started IVF & DDIL & DS had to have a termination last year in tragic circumstances & are trying again. Traumatic times all round but ever hopeful

Good luck to them all but especially the mums with difficult pregnancy worries. My second one was like that, carried him with a growing ovarian cyst, so a bit worrying but good result.
Your poor daughter goose1964, hope things gets a shift on!

I should add touch wood, God willing and if we're spared (have I covered all bases there?)

My DD2 starts her maternity leave next week. Her second little boy - my fourth grandson - is due in five weeks The eldest little one has just turned four, they live fairly close to me and to each other, so we'll have a gorgeous gang of mischievous cousins.
