My darling girl & her husband arrived yesterday with a gift "to be enjoyed later". Guess what was in the bag ?
A baby cardigan! So happy for them and can't wait for the cuddles and fun to begin.

That’s lovely.
The surprise for me was seeing yesterday called Mothering Sunday, which is what it was. My mother insisted that our cards must say Mothering Sunday, not the American Mother’s Day and I’ve continued the custom.
My daughters have to find cards with the correct words, which they say is easier now than a few years ago.

That is just perfect, so happy for you. It seems you have a wonderfully happy and growing family in the making, with years of joy to come.

That’s so lovely to hear.
I am at the stage of being told about GGC, two so far, but can remember being told of my first expected GC I was so overwhelmed.

Oh that is really lovely! Congratulations! Our granddaughter and her partner came to see us + their new puppy!! We did know about the puppy but not when they were coming to show her off. Sweet little cocker spaniel girl now aged three months and called Dora!! Our elderly Cocker however wasn't that amused!!!!!

What a lovely way to announce a pregnancy.

Fabulous way to inform you, congratulations. Maybe if they want to inform you of the gender they’ll give you a hat and booties in an appropriate colour.
