..a grandaughter. A much longed for grandaughter. The baby that was never going to be. I haven't mentioned this before because I was so worried that it would be tempting fate to do so. Two weeks late [which made me think that it would be a boy; not that it would have mattered]. I am a wreck; but a very happy wreck!!!!

Lots of love and congratulations, Tegan, racing at Wincanton pales into insignificance on the excitement stakes!

Congratulations. Sugar and spice and all things nice (mostly) that's what little granddaughters are made of.

Lovely, big sigh of relief and now the joy! Congratulations to all the family.

I didn't dare hope for a grandaughter [two grandsons thus far] and I'm such a pessimistic worrier that I didn't dare say anything on here in case it tempted fate. Baby was very late and I was getting more and more worried so I can't begin to say how relieved I am now. Hopefully going to see her later today [still can't believe I'm saying 'her']. Is it just me but, ever since I heard about this pregnancy I've been very tearful and hormonal [hormones having been absent for many a year]?

That's wonderful news Tegan a Valentine baby, many congratulations.

How in earth did you manage to keep it a secret? You must have been bursting ! smile smile smile

...alas no gilly; baby was born on Friday 13th [not good for a pessimistic worrier such as myself] shock!

Wonderful news, Tegan. Enjoy your first cuddle - and many more. Granddaughters are lovely (no disrespect to my GSs who are lovely in a different way). flowers and wine to 'wet the baby's head'.
