And another one for us - due at the end of September!! 
DD2 has polycystic ovaries and was about to go back to the GP to start treatment, thought she'd do a test as she hadn't had a period for 7 weeks (not unusual) and discovered that she is pregnant - which is why we know so early.
I know how you feel, yorke. My family are in Berks and Oxon and I'm in Cheshire. I always feel down for a while after I leave them or vice versa. When they go home, no matter how I try to clear up all the Lego, I still find little bits hiding under furniture long after they've left - and I haven't been playing with it...honest. 
I'm looking forward to seeing all the 'new baby' photographs and finding out the names of them all. I'm very happy with both choices of names that my daughter and her husband have picked; the full name begins with A and the diminutive begins with B - whether it's a girl or a boy.
Oh, it's MUCH worse for me anno. She has the easy job!! Only kidding
My grandson is due by planned c-section a week on Monday anno. That's a week before his actual due date, and if he hangs on till then, as he's busy giving his mum false alarms at the moment
Let us know when it happens Grannylin. So exciting, all these babies...
DiL is now 4 days overdue.....perhaps baby knows it's snowing and is hanging on
Lovely Mishap. Looks like our little ones will arrive within days of each other
Such an exciting time for you all.
Grannymc another baby due mid February ......makes me wonder what was going on nine months ago........ 
My daughter is finding the weight and the waiting very frustrating this time around. Because she went into labour so early last time she escaped feeling like a 'beached whale' and the tediousness of the last six weeks. I don't move now without my mobile phone as she could go into labour any day - even though technically there is still a month to go. It is exciting though.
I AM trying...........!
ga just spoken to her - doc says now no need for the steroid! Baby will be 37 weeks on Monday and not expecting to deliver before then, now things have calmed down. If she gets to 38 weeks, that's the planned c-section date, a week on Monday. Must relax and stop ruminating about how fast I can elbow my way into that delivery room!! So excited!
when - ouch! Those steroid injections are very painful. 
Still, your daughter in law will be relieved that baby's lungs will have had a bit of help. Keep us in the loop.
Fingers crossed for you all, When. It's such a roller coaster, isn't it? My little ones, (all five of them), were born in three years, and are now, 6, 5, 5, 4 and 3 years old. Reading about all the expectant grannies has made me reflect on how fast ours are growing, and I felt a twinge (just a little twinge, mind) of regret for the baby-days now passed by. Good luck to you all 
Very exciting when hope all goes well
