New babies in 2016?

My first grandson is due on the 25th of this month after having 5 beautiful grand daughters plus we have another grand daughter due in November.

My first post on Gransnet! Proud Nana to our first grandchild, a beautiful little boy called Tom, born two weeks ago tomorrow to our eldest son and his wife. So looking forward to this new chapter!

All four that I mentioned in an earlier post are now here. Two of each and the boys were born on the same day.

Can I mention a 2017 baby? My DD has announced that she is pregnant with my second grandchild. Baby due 21st January so very early days but such lovely news

My second grandchild was due two days ago - so anytime now !!! :-)

Lots of lovely babies for everyone this year. My daughter is expecting her first baby in October which will be my third grandchild. So excited, it will be lovely to have a baby again. Congratulations to everyone.

None due that I know of. Eldest 2 DDs have finished. Youngest not in a settled relationship. DS and DIL just about to start 2nd round of IVF. Fingers crossed!

Congratulations to new grandparents.
Exciting times ahead for grandparents-in-waiting.

I well know the worry of having poorly grandchildren ginny and LullyDully - glad the problems experienced are not creating too much concern.

ginny - I'm intrigued, do share as I expect there'll be someone on here who can talk knowledgeably about your grandson's condition.

My first grandchild is due in early August. DS and DDiL have decided not find out the sex of 'bump', but we all suspect they're having a boy.....if it turns out to be girl, we're in for a hell of a shock!
I'm so excited about the forthcoming event, my crochet hooks have been very active, I've developed an interest in crochet again after 40 years away from it.
We've bought them the pram, and it's sitting in our dining room (in boxes), I can't wait for the day when we get to set it all up for them

Hi if my Twin first time grandchildren dont arrive by Thursday this week they will be helped on their way So excited to see my new granddaughter and grandson having had to wait till im nearly 62 for them! ???

We have a wonderful new baby boy born at the end of March. He is the second son for my eldest son. He was in hospital last week with a very high temperature. They put him on a strong dose of antibiotics and kept him in for a few days.

A worry but all is well now.

Just seen this thread again. My new Grandson was born 3 weeks early on January 23rd. His birth was rather truamatic but he is now a gorgeous smiley 3 month old. I have been thinking of starting a thread about a condition he has ( nothing life threatening ) my do so as it would be interesting to see if anyone here knows anything about it.

My fifth, and am told final grandchild, is expected in September. My DS and DiL have already found out the gender, so I know that it will be a boy, the second boy for them. I had hoped they would wait until the birth but my son couldn't wait, as he couldn't for his other two, whereas by younger son and his partner were quite happy to wait to find out the gender of their two.

My 1st grandchild is due end Sept and I can't wait. I gave all my Mums knitting kit away - not that I was any good but would really love a hand knitted shawl and absolutely willing to pay for wool, time and postage if anyone could point me in the right direction please?

Our granddaughter is due third week in January - knitting frantically and hoping to get the shawl finished before she arrives!

Not quite 2016 but our granddaughter is expected to arrive on New Year's Eve ........could really be any day now ??? as long as it isn't lunchtime on Xmas day !!!!!!!

Grandchild number 5 due early Feb. So excited ....just love babies. I never had grandparents so being a grandparent is all the more special. We lost two grandsons 18 months ago , so new arrivals are all the more precious.

Third grandchild due in May. Don't know what it is yet, but as we already have one of each it matters not - either way it will be more than welcome.

What a lovely thread, filled with happy anticipation! Best wishes to all the parents and grandparents of these happily awaited little ones .

Good luck to all with New Year babies! I think ours have stopped now - 7 is quite enough! - any new ones will be a surprise to everyone, including the parents!

Just heard that DH's cousins first grandchild, due mid January, arrived on Sunday morning.
Mum dad and baby all fine, granny just a little bit traumatised to say the least. Despite being a midwife in a former life she wasn't prepared for the emotional involvement.
??????

baubles Hope your new DGC arrives soon. I bet you jump ever time the 'phone rings.

Don't worry grannyactivist I'll be telling the world !

This thread makes me want another baby GC but I am not sure what my DD would think about that. My current one is only 8 months.

There is something very special about holding a new baby.

Anniebach Why November?

May I sneak in with a December baby? DD's third was due a few days ago so I do hope it won't turn out to be a January arrival.

Not sure if this counts, but DSil's eldest daughter from his first marriage is having a baby in March (I think) so does that make me a Step Great Grandmother? Just asking. I don't see anything of her now as she no longer spends every other weekend with her Dad and they live a long way away.... Still, am happy for her but a bit sorry for DD as she desperately wanted another baby but at least she has got one, our DGS (only one too) who will be an uncle at 3 years of age!!!!
