..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!!!!
Many congratulations, Tegan! My sister had five boys, each time hoping for a daughter, but more than made up for it when her two granddaughters were born!
It's why I felt such sympathy for the lady whose daughter was disappointed to find that she was having another boy. I know I'm so so lucky to have another grandchild and I would have loved a litle boy just as much but, in my heart of hearts I was so desperate for there to be a little girl in the family.
Tegan congratulations on your new granddaughter. I've was in the same position for months, keeping the secret of a pregnant daughter who's having a very difficult pregnancy. Now the cat's out of the bag and all seems to be progressing well I'm enjoying the expectation.
With regards to the other thread about things happening in families, at the moment we have a birth, a funeral and someone having to go into a care home; supposedly to recuperate but, in actual fact there's no chance of a return to her home. The latter being in the same hospital as the birth; turn right at the entrance for one, turn left for the other.
Congratulations Tegan, and best wishes to the new parents as well. I have 6 grandsons, and only one granddaughter, aged 22, and no chance of any more now.
