Good news ga congratulations to all.

Many congratulations, grannyactivist! My mum was born on May Day too - it’s an easy to remember birthday.

- welcome to the world, little boy with the secret name!!!

After 19 hours labour my grandson was finally born at 1.29am this morning - a May Day birthday he now shares with my mother-in-law. As with my daughter's other two births all went well until the last twenty minutes or so when it all went pear shaped because baby became very distressed and suddenly we had 5/6 midwives and a doctor in the room, but in spite of being told she would need help to get baby out she managed by herself and baby recovered very quickly. My daughter was very shocked and tired after the birth and took a couple of hours to be able to do more than stroke baby's head on her chest, but by 3.30am she had roused enough to dress and cuddle him. His name is an old-fashioned, love it or hate it name, but I love it. It's too distinctive to share though, I'm afraid - we don't want it appearing on FaceBook. After being awake for 26 hours (and being locked out of my daughter's house when the other granny realised she hadn't got the house keys with her) I finally got to bed just after 5.30am!
We're collecting the boys from school at lunchtime and taking them in to meet their baby brother then will go home this afternoon. The other lovely granny shared the whole experience except for the actual birth (only 2 people allowed at that point) and is going to stay on here until the end of the week to do the school run and help out.
Sending good wishes to other grannies-in-waiting and a quick wave to gilly.

Gillybob I bet you are just bursting with pride for your DD after such a long labour she will need the extra days in hospital it will do her the world of good,sending all my love.
No further news on my two new arrivals DIL was taken to labour ward last night but sent home again at 2am and told to come back when pains every 5 mins and DGD in law was told the same,they are both booked into same hospital and it would funny if they both arrived together.
We have my OHs birthday tomorrow so how cool would that be if they both delivered to-morrow.

Gillybob, such wonderful, lovely news about the arrival of Evie. I was out all day yesterday, so missed your announcement. best wishes to the new Mum and Dad, and of course to you. Enjoy the cuddles.

Thank you everyone for lovely messages I can’t tell you how much they mean to me. Baby Evie is doing very well indeed considering her a very long labour and a quite traumatic arrival. My DD being kept in hospital for a couple of nights to get her BP stabilised. DH and I spent an hour at the hospital with them last night where we both enjoyed a lovely cuddle. She’s meeting her 3 cousins for a short visit tonight who simply can’t wait to see her “in real life” says my grandson.

My DD had given up ever being a mum and was worried whether she “could do it” looking at her yesterday she is a natural and I just know this little angel’s life is going to be bursting with love and happiness.

Hope you have a baby by now GA can’t wait to hear from you.

Good news •gillybob•. Congratulations to you all.

Many, many congrats to the whole family, but obviously especially to you and your daughter Gillybob!
"Welcome to the world little Evie, may your life be full of love and laughter!"
