Thank you for your good wishes - the last time she was round here she was discussing getting a dog, so I thought any idea of babies was off the agenda for now at least. If all goes well, we have 6 GC then! Can't think when all this happened - I still think of myself as if I am in my mid-30s.
As we had not expected her to have any, it was even more of a thrill.
That's really lovely news, Mishap! I felt like you when my eldest daughter told me that she was pregnant - she and her partner had appeared to have no interest in having children, and when she phoned me with the news I was so happy!
