New babies this year?

My first Grandchild is due in February.

Whether or not there'll be any more GGC on the horizon I don't know as my 3 GC in Oz haven't " produced " as yet. 2 men in their 30's and 1 young woman in her 20's who has a long-term partner------so we'll see.

It would be sad in a way as I'd be the only GGParent living and I wouldn't see them only by Skype. Heartbreaking.

Consolation being, that I have 7 GGC not too far away and more step-GGC than you can shake a stick at and I get bogged down with them all hahahaha.Kids everywhere.

Our daughter in law had her twins four weeks ago,three months early,both weighing under two pounds. It was ,and still is,a very worrying time. Both boy and girl are doing well now so looking forward to the future. We have four grandchildren now,doubt there will be any more. Over the moon with what we've got.

I wish, younger daughter has accepted she will not have a baby after 14 IVF treatments and many miscarriages . But not unheard of is it?

Congratulations to all here with new babies and/or new babies expected- grandchildren are lovely and not because you can give them back - it is juts lovely to see them grow and be part of that. I became a Great Grandma in 2018 to little Isabelle and although I wont see her often she pops up in Instagram all the time.

DD expecting her 4th child early next month so we are all excitedly looking forward to that.

My two eldest GDs are both expecting in the Summer so apart from the 9 GC I already have I will then have 5 Great GC as well. It’s so lovely that I get to see my family welcome new babies.

My Dd's 4 (21,18,9,8) are excited at the prospect of a cousin in April ( DS's first).

I'm now worrying even more that the extension won't be finished by then! All was going smoothly but there has been a holdup with steels design, so the builders' tenders haven't yet come in.

Contingency plan means that DiL and baby may have to decamp to her parents home for a while.
This will disrupt DS's paternity plans and I'll have to be patient as far as seeing the new arrival goes.
Still, I'm sure all will be well but I hope she avoids the unplanned home birth!!

She is a doctor but is not an obstetrician.

At the 20 week scan they decided not to ask if it's a boy or girl and there are no clues about names.

Surprises in store!

We had another grandson, too, last year (Our 9th dgc) but doubt we'll have any more, this year or ever.

Dd3 was had an extension built while she was pregnant, crystaltipps. The builders had just left for the day when she gave birth on the lounge floor.

Looking forward to number 6 due in 3 weeks time. We will be under the same roof as youngest DS and DiL ( expected baby is their first) are staying with us as the building work on their new house has overrun ( bad timing or what?) and it could be 3 months or more before it’s finished. We are overrun with baby clutter but I tell myself it won’t be forever and I’m quite excited in lots of ways. All being well, OH and I are planning a little holiday away for a week or two when DS is on paternity leave so the new parents can have some space and her parents can come and visit etc without us being here all the time. I’m quite excited about that as well!

I’m going to be a great Nanna in mid March. Today we discussed what names we’ll all be called by the new baby. I can still be Nanna I’m really pleased about that. My husband will be grandad bob aka grandad-fixit./grumpygrandad depending on his mood. Our family need some joy in what looks like being a very bleak year indeed and a new baby is such a joy

I have 5 DGC the youngest of whom is about to be 7 years old. 3 of them live with me and their Dad 3 to 4 days a week plus more in the school holidays. The other two I see at least weekly and more in the past. This summer I got rid of all baby stuff, pram, cot, steriliser , baby alarm, potty etc etc. Oldest son is now expecting an unexpected baby boy. Deep joy and 'Can I really do this again?' Cousins are all wild with excitement. I guess 72 is not too old then!!! 'Age is all in the mind,' I tell myself.

Hope not Grannya . I have 6 already and my bank account has been cleaned out , post Xmas. ? However money cannot buy the joy they bring. A few days ago I had to raise my voice at my little 3 year old bcause he was continuously putting his head over his 15 week old baby'sbrother's head, kissing him but annoying the little one, who started crying. Anyway, before I left, I gave him a big hug and a kiss and told him I loved him.
Today, out of the blue , he tells his Dad (my son), "my Nanny said she loves me " . I don't know what prompted him to say that because I always tell the little ones I love them. Perhaps me raising my voice made him think I didn't love him. What goes on in kids' minds ?
Congratulations on the arrival of your grandchildren. Lots of fun to come ?

My third great grandson was born less than an hour ago weighing in at 9lb 1oz. Mother and baby both fine. He was born around midnight so I’m not sure whether he’s a New Year’s Day baby or not.

He has two siblings, 8 and 2, and we are all curious to see whether the little one will be jealous or not.
