Congratulations on becoming a grandparent. My DS and DiL had their first child 2 days into lockdown. I had a phone call very early that morning - he sounded shattered just to say the baby had come, his weight, time, name and that his wife was ok. It was such a relief to know they were all ok.
It's difficult to know when the best time to phone a new family so maybe just send a text to say. Love to hear from you when you can. It worked for us and I got a call while DS was dog walking baby in sling one morning and another family one with baby asleep.
These are difficult times but time passes quickly. We have just met our new grandson properly. He gave us plenty of smiles, quizzical looks and is very much a little person. We talked about missing out on visiting when he was first born. It was not how my DiL expected to become a new mum. She had been looking forward to showing her baby off and having family round and walks with other mums she'd met at NCT and none of that could happen. She felt pretty isolated at times I think. She works for a local radio station as a broadcaster/ producer and when she left for her maternity leave she was tasked with doing an audio blog. Little did she know that lockdown would happen but it reflect being a new mum during this time. It has been quite emotional to hear it. But time marches on and lockdown has eased and we had a lovely time yesterday. We have well and truly bonded with our grandson and he won't know that we didn't see him for 11 weeks.
You too will have a lovely relationship with your new grandchild.
