I'm going to be a grandma!!!!!!

[carolinej]

Well, Naomi, Tom and 'bump' came to visit tonight. There seemed to be no development on the 'bump ' front.  :(

I am really looking forward to seeing the bump develop. It will be even more exciting when 'bump' can kick.

Oooh, I'm getting soooooooo impatient!! ;D

its going to be a l-o-n-g 9 months  ;D ;D ;D

[carolinej]

ETA 9th January, so less than that ;D ;D ;D

Hopefully will get more accurate date after first scan. Will be able to count down properly then  ;D

Saying that, scan said Naomi would arrive on 13th July, I said 31st. I was right, but they were fooled by her big head!!! She got her big head from her Dad ::)

 :) :) :) Best job in the world, cj - (no matter what the little darling decides he/she will call you!  ;)) Congratulations!

Hello, ;D

my daugher told me today that she is pregnant. ;D I'm so excited! ;D Still early days yet, 35 weeks to go, but I'm sure that will fly by.

Now what will I call myself? Granny, Grandma, Nanna, Nanny, Mamgi (welsh)...........?


cj ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Nain (pronounced 9) sounds a lot nicer than Mamgi - got a mental image of a dog (sorry!). In 20-30 years time, I hope to be a grandma! Though does it matter - I get referred to as Mam (I prefer Mum).
Congratulations.  ;D

Congratulations! Looks like the typist at Olympia Hospital was drunk though (top left of piccie) - at least she/he got the last 3 letters right  ;D ... I'll get me coat!

[norfolklass]

ooh, a Christmas bump!
double the excitement!!!
(half the pressies though, according to a very bitter friend ::) ;D)

wishing mum, bump and nain-to-be, well :)

[Sajaself]

Congrats.

Hope all continues to go well.

[Emagggie]

Congratulations to all involved, and speaking from Grannie-to-be experience, the time seems to fly by! It seems like no time at all since daughter 1 announced her pregnancy, and here she is looking like she swallowed a space- hopper :o  ;D
So many lovely baby things in the shops, it's hard not to buy stuff. ;)

[carolinej]

Only 28 weeks to go! The first 3 months are out of the way already.

Mind you, I find that life just whizzes by. They reckon that it goes faster the older you get. It's certainly right for me. I wish I could slow it down a bit!

congratulations on the brilliant news caroline......................and christmas babies are always special..................or so my mum told me!..............lol

mind you............we must be.............we have to celebrate twice as hard!

[Marymary]

I quite agree MM, I always thought the whole world was celebrating my birthday.  :)  Wished I'd managed to have one of mine on the 25th - nearest I got was 27th.

I was at Naomi's house when the midwife called today. It's all so different from when I had babies.

She was offered a home birth. That wasnt an option for me. She'd rather be in hospital though, just incase there are any unforseen circumstances.

Apparently, they now think that breast feeding prevents ovarian and breast cancer.

People on benefits can get a voucher for free fruit and veg as well as milk.

We're all looking forward to the 26week scan now. Hopefully bump will co operate and we will know if it is Isobella or Ieuan.


Oooh, I'm all excited again now ;D ;D ;D ;D

Don't rely on the scan sexing the baby too much. I had a scan and was told I was having a girl on my third one. We were so excited having two boys already this was the icing on the cake. However when I gave birth the midwife flawed me totally saying you have a healthy BOY!!!
It didn't matter as Joshua was healthy and well but the girly babygro's were never worn!!!!

Hope all are keeping healthy and well.
