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.

Wonderful news! Isn’t it lovely that nature can still surprise when youngsters these days like to think they can plan it all absolutely.

I’m so happy for you. It’s wonderful isn’t it. I’ve just spent an afternoon in monsoon with our ‘bonus baby’ who’s 6 in a few days trying on glittery dresses for her party. How very lucky are we. Congratulations to you and all your family.

What great news, congratulations to all x

I have just realized that I did actually start the clear-out of baby things just before Christmas, taking some toys to the charity shop. While I don't really believe for one minute that it had anything to do with our wonderful news, it's still well worth a try :-)

As it's your first free day since hearing the news gilly I can imagine you scouring the shops for tiny garments etc.
Congratulations to you and yours MamaCaz
I am green with envy. Such exciting times.

Many congratulations to you too MamaCaz there definitely must be something about clearing out old baby things hmm

I still don't hold out much hope!

Oh, it worked for you, MamaCaz! shock and wine

There's hope for us yet, Jalima!

MamaCaz Fri 19-Jan-18 21:57:21

OMG. Yesterday I said I was going to clear out all the baby things to see if it worked the same magic for our son/dil, , and tonight I have been presented with a 14 week scan photo. I too am on cloud nine now )))

Wonderful!

You must be on cloud 9! Lovely for you to share with us such wonderful news. Enjoy!

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

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

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.

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!

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

KatyK Fri 19-Jan-18 10:41:21

Wonderful gilly smile

EllenT Fri 19-Jan-18 10:25:03

Really cheerful news! Many congratulations to you all flowers

whitewave Fri 19-Jan-18 10:23:06

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

POGS Fri 19-Jan-18 10:19:31

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.

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!

WilmaKnickersfit Fri 19-Jan-18 02:03:21

Congratulations on your wonderful news! And not too long to go either! flowers
