Get ready , a birth soon to be announced

Why ask if you already know the answers gilly?!

Sorry niggly Just rambling as usual.

My older brother slept in a drawer

Oh I see!! My ramblings are usually due to senility! I'm sure yours are just musing!!

Aye Ooop, Peeps, She's gorn in.

Get ready for 'Door Watch'

I forgot I had started this thread and just started a second, old age or too much Sun ?

I’m very interested in what name the child will be given, especially if it’s a girl.

Too late Annie, I posted on your other thread before I realised this was one was already on the go. Methinks you're not the only one suffering from old age.

Grandma70s I'm thinking of
Victoria or Alice what do you think.
AnnieI forgot about this thread I've posted on both

She'd better get on with it and knock Brexit off the top BBC headline spot!

I've been on permanent standby for a call from my own pregnant daughter for the past week and am ready to dash off as soon as the call comes. My other grandchildren have all been early babies, but this one's due date is on Friday so she's taking it to the wire. The Wonderful Man is working away today so we have a complex plan for me to meet him part-way via train (her hospital is an hour away from both her and me), then he will drive me to the hospital before going to collect the grandchildren from school.

Bets on the other thread for sex and name ?

My daughter is hoping the new HRH is not going to be called Bertie, as that's the diminutive of her next baby's chosen name. (Not Albert though.)

Good luck to your DD too ga, I hope all goes we for her and her baby. Bertie is a good name!

Yes me too grannyactivist I even stopped myself from having a well deserved glass of wine on Saturday night as she said she's had twinges all day. My DD's partner is not allowed a mobile phone at work and he does very long shifts too so not sure how that's going to fit into our plans.

Still, the royals in their £7k+ per night private wing, don't have to consider such things though.

We've got a Bertie too, ga!

Hope all goes well.

I can't imagine how horrible it must be to have half the world knowing you are in Labour and hoping you hurry up. It reminds me of the days when Queens had to labour with the Court watching to ensure that the baby did in fact arrive via the royal personage and was not substituted by an imposter.

I would not wish this on my daughters!!

Let us know when your DDs baby arrives Gillybob. Hope all goes well.

gilly and ga are both at (or going to) the hospital and are posting updates on the 'in other baby news' thread.

Oh thanks kitty -I had no idea. Just been to look and see both babies have now arrived safely. I'm so pleased.
