..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!!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
