My lovely daughter and her partner have just found out that she is 24 weeks pregnant !

What a shock. I honestly never thought she would have children as she is almost 33 and only has occasional periods (none for almost a year).

I am feeling full to bursting.

Oh wow, talk about a surprise. Many congratulations.
Think how delighted the baby's cousins will be.
I think I might have a panic attack, I have just given away all the baby stuff I kept here.

Many, many congratulations. Such an exciting time for you all.

Congratulations, gillybob.
My daughter in law told my son on his 50th birthday. She was 38 and didn't think she was able to have children.
The result is a beautiful little boy, now four months old.
Hope your finances can take it!
I keep finding all these new toys and clothes that weren't around when his sister was born over 20 years ago.

I've just come off the phone after speaking to her on her lunch break at work where she has just told everyone her very surprising news. Apparently the place came to a standstill for a while as they all jumped up and down !

DH and I had a loft clear out just before Christmas and took all the baby stuff to a charity shop and the womens refuge!

My sons three children are so excited they are going to have a new cousin and have picked some very strange names for the poor little thing. The best one from DGS is Jermain Defoe ! Yikes confused

Congratulations Gillybob, to you, your daughter and her husband. My second great grandchild is due in May, and I`m busily filling a black bin liner with baby bits, did it with all the grandchildren, now the greats.
