Have just been speaking to my DIL from hospital. She gave birth to our new Grandaughter 2 hours ago. She sounded so happy and really deserves to be. Our son had a heart attack a month ago (aged 42) and we have all been dealing with the psycological effects. Their two sons (ages 4 & 10) have had a hard time too and they are now delighted to be welcoming a new sister home tomorrow. We plan to have a big family party soon to celebrate all that is now good in our world.

Thank you everyone. Isn't good news wonderful. Our son has been through a lot in the last few years. Crushed by a cow, addicted to morphine. Just getting over that then a heart attack. All on the up now. Off to Mothercare to buy pink things now. grin
