2017 Babies

New grandchild due early September to son and lovely, very new wife. DS is like a dog with two tails, it's lovely to see. Fingers crossed for all expectant grandparents!

No more grandchildren for us, but I have just got a new grand-puppy. My DS & his family have just got a puppy Cockapoo and he's adorable - much like a new baby.

My OH's DD1 is expecting twins in May, she doesn't want to know the sex. He has 3 GC and I have 4 GD's, 7 soon to be 9, all 8 and under and all treated as our GC. I didn't ever think I would have so many lovely GC.

Congratulations. Our granddaughter was born 1st January. 4th grandchild but the only girl and a big gap, youngest GS is 8. She is of course beautiful and I did lots of knitting and crotchet for her..

Our beautiful granddaughter was born on 3rd January. She is our first granddaughter although we have 3 grandson (only 2 with us now ?) and knitting needles are merrily clicking x

DGS2 due in May, DD is hoping for a "natural" birth after DGS1 was born my "emergency ceaser". Just in case I shall be around all of May, baby due 26th but DGS1 was about 2 weeks early.

Congratulations to all other expectant Grandparents & good luck to all those expectant Mums

Congratulations bbnan. My DIL Is expecting her baby early may. We are all very excited as she has had several miscarriages but this one is going well. Good luck to all other soon-to-be grandmas.

My DD is just 8 weeks we already have GS aged 19 months looking forward to the time ahead if we all accept we are going to be busy & tired anyway we will all manage

Congratulations, hope all goes well for you & for all families of 2017 babies.
We are looking forward to the safe arrival of DD's 2nd daughter, ( they have 2+year-old), at the end of March. They are overseas, so we won't "see" them until the summer, when they are all moving back to UK. We are lucky see them via Skype, at least weekly.
This will be our 5th GC, Our DS & DIL have 2 daughters & 1 son, (aged 14,10 & 7.) we feel blessed.

Congratulations. My son and dil are expecting their first baby in June, they are also in Canada. Myself and teenage son will be visiting in August to see the new baby and already very excited about it.
This will be my 3rd grandchild, other two are 8 and 7.

Thank-you all for your kind wishes and sharing your own news.....I was bursting to tell someone and have to stay quiet....Let's all update as we get more news......Regards to you all

Eldest daughter in Australia is expecting her 2nd in July and daughter in Hertford expecting her 3rd a month later. I should just be back from Oz in time. Strangely enough my partners life and mine are running parallel. I have a daughter who married an Aussie and lives in Melbourne and has a little girl and expecting a boy. Other half has a daughter who married an Aussie and live in Sydney and she has a little girl and is expecting a boy a month after my daughter. Funny old world

Number two grandson due 20th March. I'm off to Bristol to help with number one grandson and keep things ticking over while everyone adjusts, on the 12th. No idea how long I'll be there. Just hope baby stays put till I get there!

GC no. 7 arrived last week

Our one and probably only GD was the first baby born in hospital in Newport this year. What a gift she is, a complete joy, she lights up our lives.

We are waiting for 2 new grandsons in April and May, going nicely with our 3 year old DGD. Sadly she insist her baby is a girl!

Just found out my nephew and his partner are expecting twins in August knitting needles are in overdrive

GrandmasueUK I think we know each other on FB. It was the son in Lisbon that did it. I am about to become a greatgrandmother again at Easter. Yet another boy. I certainly have more grandsons than granddaughters and it looks that it is going to be the same with the greatgrandchildren too.

First grandchild - no idea what flavour - due any day now.... I live almost 300 miles away from my son and his wife but my case and car are packed and ready to go (at their request). It's an odd feeling...

Our third DGC arrived two weeks ago. She is tiny but fine and is gorgeous. She is only half an hour ago, the other two are an eleven hour flight away. I have been quickly knitting very tiny cardigans for her.

DGD No 2 arrived on 14 Feb, totally gorgeous like her big sister

Beautiful granddaughter born 2 weeks ago to DD1 who unfortunately developed sepsis. She is now on the mend thankfully and baby didn't get it, again thankfully! We did have some quality time with her 3 year old brother because mummy had to stay in hospital for 5 days on IV antibiotics. Nothing like a small warm person squeezing in beside you at 6.30am saying "Granny, I'm really hungry!" Lovely news for all who are expecting little arrivals this year x

... Half an hour away.... (Not ago)

My DGS4 arrived safe and well during the night, two weeks early, missing his cousin's second birthday by just 3 hours! We've just come home from DGS3's party and are heading off soon to meet the new arrival at a fish and chip and fizz family tea, just the proud parents, grandparents and DGS2, who is apparently basking in the glory of being a big brother . I hardly slept last night, as we heard just after midnight that things were underway, so I'm feeling a bit at the minute!

I hope all is going well with all the other 2017 Babies and their families, and look forward to hearing your updates.

Congratulations Maggiemaybe how wonderful to have news of a safe delivery, enjoy every minute of your visit.

Update on my Grandsons wife, her pregnancy is going well although at 14 wks she is suffering terribly with sickness most days, she's had a few days off work as she has a motorway drive to get there and suddenly needing to throw up isn't good on that drive. Fingers crossed everything continues to go well for her. I've got my knitting needles clicking also..
