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.

Congratulations, gillybob.

"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!"

Maybe that was the answer. I was thinking of having a clear out myself, and as one DiL is struggling to conceive, Now might be as good a time as any to see if it works the same magic here grin

Excellent news gillybob!

^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!^That's what does it, we sent all the hoarded baby stuff to the charity shop because we thought we'd never be grandparents.
Then two came along in the same year
Maggiemaybe I am clearing out any toys, cot blankets etc in the hope that .......

So happy for you Gilly. My daughter had problems getting pregnant the first time. Now she's on her third with only 17 months between them all!

Great news Gilly.

I wish your daughter well during her pregnancy and we will be waiting to hear of 'the arrival' which no doubt will be announced with equal happiness.

gilly just seen this!, are you busy knitting? So little time and so much excitement.
A summer baby then?

Really cheerful news! Many congratulations to you all flowers

Wonderful gilly smile

gillybob Fri 19-Jan-18 10:58:26

Thank you again everyone for all your lovely messages of congratulations. My DD and her partner are still in complete shock. The midwife told her she is having a “fast track” pregnancy ! grin

Eglantine21 Fri 19-Jan-18 11:09:59

gilly, others obviously know you well. Is this the daughter with the school run problem or another one?
No agenda in asking, just like to have my ducks in a line...

Thrilled to bits for you!

glammanana Fri 19-Jan-18 11:25:41

gillybob such wonderful news you must be bursting at the seams.
This year will see 2 new babies in my family one in April and one in May (pink one).
We can all share our baby news at about the same time its so exciting.

Thank you for your good wishes Eglantine. No it is my son and daughter in law who have the three children (the youngest 2 have a very long commute to/from school after we lost all the appeals to get them into a school close to home).
This will be my DD’s first baby after being told ( and accepting ) that she would probably never conceive. smile

How lovely gilly and congratulations to the whole family. She must have just relaxed and let everything 'be' - best wishes to the happy parents for an enjoyably short pregnancy and a safe delivery! flowers
