New grandchild in 2013?

Good luck when. I hope all goes well for the next few days and there are no more alarms. How exciting for you all.

when - They sound so very well cared for. Feet up, cup of tea and.....relax. Thinking of you all. x

I'm also due to be a second time granny in May - 3 days after the first one's 2nd birthday. They had the 20 week scan last week and we know its a boy and all is well. The first one was a bit traumatic as she had pre-eclampsia so is being monitored carefully this time.

Ours are at a distance and I have coped by visiting once a month for one night and with Skype in between. Skype has made such a difference and our little man now sits in front of the computer and demands "Ganny", which is lovely.

Exciting times

Well....all the fuss has died down and mum is being allowed home later today, which is very good news, and I can wait a little longer for my grandson to make his debut in a few days' time. Well done the doctors and nurses, who have patched mum up so she's not in as much pain now. Baby is fine.

Very exciting when hope all goes well

Fingers crossed for you all, When. It's such a roller coaster, isn't it? My little ones, (all five of them), were born in three years, and are now, 6, 5, 5, 4 and 3 years old. Reading about all the expectant grannies has made me reflect on how fast ours are growing, and I felt a twinge (just a little twinge, mind) of regret for the baby-days now passed by. Good luck to you all

Hummingbird there's always Greatgrands to look forwards to one day, my eldest grandson (25) assures me he and his lovely wife will be 'trying' anytime soon... so I've had the pleasure 7 grandchildren with another due in June and now so looking forward to the greatgrands coming along , the Circle of Life sure is turning in my family...

when - ouch! Those steroid injections are very painful. Still, your daughter in law will be relieved that baby's lungs will have had a bit of help. Keep us in the loop.

ga just spoken to her - doc says now no need for the steroid! Baby will be 37 weeks on Monday and not expecting to deliver before then, now things have calmed down. If she gets to 38 weeks, that's the planned c-section date, a week on Monday. Must relax and stop ruminating about how fast I can elbow my way into that delivery room!! So excited!

Sounds good, when. Now just be patient for a bit longer.............

I AM trying...........!

My daughter is finding the weight and the waiting very frustrating this time around. Because she went into labour so early last time she escaped feeling like a 'beached whale' and the tediousness of the last six weeks. I don't move now without my mobile phone as she could go into labour any day - even though technically there is still a month to go. It is exciting though.

Tanith how lovely for you - circle of life indeed.

Hi. My eldest daughter and son in law are expecting our first grandchild mid feb. they too have chosen not to find out the baby's gender and have chosen their names but we are all to find out on the birthday.. We are so excited ..

Grannymc another baby due mid February ......makes me wonder what was going on nine months ago........

Only a week to go now till DD3's due date - she is blooming. Baby's head is engaged and it is facing the right way, so time will tell!

Such an exciting time for you all.

Lovely Mishap. Looks like our little ones will arrive within days of each other

DiL is now 4 days overdue.....perhaps baby knows it's snowing and is hanging on

Let us know when it happens Grannylin. So exciting, all these babies...

Oh, you're all making me feel granny-broody. I am going to have to hold on for a few more years for the GGC. Isn't yours due this weekend, when?

My grandson is due by planned c-section a week on Monday anno. That's a week before his actual due date, and if he hangs on till then, as he's busy giving his mum false alarms at the moment

The waiting must be almost as bad for you as it is for your DiL, when!

Oh, it's MUCH worse for me anno. She has the easy job!! Only kidding

I'm looking forward to seeing all the 'new baby' photographs and finding out the names of them all. I'm very happy with both choices of names that my daughter and her husband have picked; the full name begins with A and the diminutive begins with B - whether it's a girl or a boy.
