I'm going to burst if I don't share this......

Congratulations to all concerned! How wonderful.

How exciting! What a lovely surprise for you all..

How lovely, gillbob! Have a happy hug ?

How lovely congrats to all ?

Excellent news, gillybob! I remember how I felt when we had that ‘out of the blue, never thought it would happen’ news! Don’t be in any hurry to come down from cloud nine!?

Aw gillybob I'm right in the middle of a family crisis (again!) and feeling really low, but your post has put a big smile on my face. I'm so, so pleased for you and all your family - lovely news. Thanks for sharing.

What fantastic news, wonderful, a new life , you must all be thrilled, excited, full of joy, so happy for you x

Thank you everyone . We are all in complete shock. She took ill at work and ended up in hospital where they confirmed the pregnancy and the dates . So much to do and so little time . She’s having a second scan on Tuesday and obviously hasn’t had any antenatal care (which is a worry) .

Gillybob, I’m so pleased for you all! And 24 weeks, too! Lovely news- what a wonderful start to the year. Xx

Gilly that's such wonderful news! A new adventure for you all

Oh that is such wonderful news gillyb, no wonder you are fit to burst! And 24 weeks already, so not very long to wait, how exciting for you all. Now go on, hit the shops, you know you want to

What thrilling news for you all, you must be so delighted.
Don't worry too much about lack of ante- natal care. I have known mother's who didn't disclose their pregnancy and the babies were fine, she will be well looked after from now on.

What wonderful news Gillybob. I know just how you are feeling. We never thought DS and DIL would be able to have children and now we have our wee miracle.

Great great news - we had similar some years ago - DiL having treatment to no avail and then suddenly the wonderful news no one was expecting!i will never forget the moment they told me and DD and everyone’s excitement!

When you come down from the cloud you can start knitting!!

Gillybob, that is such lovely news, but a bit of a shock. You and she will be very busy until the baby is born. I'm going out with a happy face now. ?

What wonderful news!

Wow! Gillybob. What a wonderful surprise. I hope she will now have the best of care and be able to enjoy the rest of her pregnancy. I'm sure you will be keeping an eye on her!

Congratulations! I was only 16 weeks when I found out our miracle baby was due to arrive 2 weeks before I turned 38.
I was told my very erratic cycles were due to the fact that some ovaries work intermittently and we just 'hit' one of the rare times I 'd ovulated normally!
That baby and his wife are now discussing starting a family very soon.
As an experienced gran you'll be in demand.
Wonderful news but a bit overwhelming!

24 weeks - well that’ll make the pregnancy shorter ?. Lovely news especially in the circumstances. Hope all goes well

How wonderful! Have to get on with the plans!

What an exciting way to find out! Spared the worry of those first 3 months . Congrats.

Congratulations.

How lovely! Congratulations!

Congratulations Gilly what a blessing for you all x
