New granddaughter *Anketrs*

Congratulations! And many blessings to all!

Congratulations on all the lovely babies what a joy they are,and its so encouraging to hear of so many GGParents enjoying the new babies there seems to be quite a few of us in our late 50s/early 60s so different to when my GGmother was alive she seemed to always have been very old compared to to-days GGMothers.Enjoy those precious babies ladies.

Congratulations! Enjoy .

I think it is great that they can have greatgrandparents too nowadays.

And great greatgrandparents!

6 greatgrandparents?! That is impressive, she has good genes for longevity! My DGGD actually has, on the other great grandmother's side, a Great great grandmother! Now I think of it she has a second great grandmother on her father's side. Someone had better draw up a family tree!! So that's 3 greats and a great great...
Plenty of people to love her and support the new parents!

Auntieflo and congratulations to you too.

I will say one more detail. Grandaughter is very fortunate to be born having all 4 greatgrannies and 2 greatgrandads.
Not like it was for my own children who only had 1 greatgrannie. Though she was with them for a long time.

morethan2 - she is georgous too!

Can I join In? We became great grandparents on Monday to a baby girl. She is a real chubs, got her GGM legs by the looks of it. I now have to go to bed with a great grandad.

Congratulations ankers and eirel I'm another who doubts very much that that title will ever be mine but happy to have grandchildren .

Bro not bros.

Lovely to see the photos Rinouchka and Morethan.

My 4 year old GS when having his photo taken rolls his eyes up in an odd way to show the whites. He and his elder bros thinks it's very funny, I try not to encourage them.

So pleased for you Ankers

Congratulations Ankers, enjoy the rush of love. Grandchildren are very special. As for being a great grandmother, Eirel, that's even more special. I'm another thinking I won't get to be a GGM, but you never know, it would be a wonderful thing.

And Elrel many congratulations to you too! I doubt I will ever be a GGM; I'll be grateful to see him get to his majority!

Congratulations, Ankers! Always nice to hear about a new granny being born ?! Ten years ago on Saturday I was getting my underwear in a twist about an expected heavy fall of snow with DD about to go into labour any day! I thought we would have to call out her F-i-L with his tractor and trailer! Let us have all the details, do!

Makes, I'm so excited I can't spell

Oh yes Ankers I love to hear about babies. All that love to come how lucky are you.xx look it Meeks my heart melt

I am trying to work out what GofT is

Ah - Game of Thrones?

Congratulation Granny Ankers and best wishes to your DD and new arrival, not forgetting Daddy of course!

Yes, we do like to hear the details. I'm sure the name will grow on you and suit her.

Congratulations Ankers! Enjoy being a granny! You've no idea what it's like until it happens, a lovely surprise!

One of my DGD's had a baby girl ( 6lb 3oz blue eyes, quite a lot of dark hair) on Sunday, I saw them on Tuesday back at home. Very peaceful little baby* , her mum is a very calm person. During a short labour she was on gas and air and neither yelled nor swore. Her name in unusual, short, usually a diminutive and may have come from a tv programme. Not from GofT! It's a cute name and suits her already. I am still getting used to the idea of being a GGM!

* so far...

Congratulations, Ankers

Congratulations, Ankers

What a sweetie, Rinouchka

Many congratulations Ankers, she sounds lovely.

(no longer are you soon-to-be but actually are! )

Congratulations Ankers a new baby is always a wonderful thing for a family.???

Aw Rinouchka!
She looks adorable!

And thanks everyone else!

Grandchildren are an absolute joy.

Congratulations - lovely news.
Very wise not to give too many details- many people are seeing the value of privacy.

Congratulations, Ankers! Hope you are enjoying every moment and that your granddaughter brings you much joy and love.

Sending you this ( non-identifiable) but true image of GD3 on way home from maternity hospital last April! Hope you get as much pleasure as I do.
