Well,
I never thought the day would come,when I would be saying this..
(waited sooooo long!)
but
I have a Grandchild!!smile
a little girlsmile

However,I feel I should now be on Materity leave,as it will take a while to get over it!
diifficult birth,every thing that could go wrong,did go wrong, and baby nearly died!sad

Meanwhile,we were told she was in labour,then that there were problems..
and then left hanging,with no idea if she had delivered,was still labouring,or what!!!
aaaaaargh!!
I.NEVER.WANT.TO.BE IN. SUCH AN. ANXIETY RIDDEN. SITUATION.AGAIN !!!!!!
We are far away from my daughter,no possiblity to go and visit,nothing!
I must have (did:/ put on pounds,with eating anything that didnt move!!!!

However,baby is beautiful,and seems all fine now;my daughter is battered and bruised,but recoveringsmile
- When i first spoke to her,she sounded llike an empty little shell...I dint know who i was talking to,and had to ask!sad
so you can imagine my relief,to hear her sounding more like her old self!

And I cant wait to get a cuddle with my daughter and grandaughter!smile
(not until end of June thoughsad

Many congratulations itsnevertoolate flowers You must be over the moon. We had a very similar experience with our new granddaughter a year ago. She had to be given CPR when only 3 minutes old and it was touch and go. I'm glad we didn't know until afterwards .She is a bonny little thing now and gives us so much pleasure. Sit back and relax and enjoy a glass of wine or two. You have much to look forward to in June.

What an anxious time, itsnevertoolate. But now you have so much to look forward to. Enjoy this lovely new little person in your life, they get big far too soon - though every stage has its high points.

Many congratulations. Please don't fret about the difficult time they've had. We had a similar hard time but my premature, sickly granddaughter is now a bright, intelligent, beautiful child who'll soon celebrate her 4th birthday. Time has gone so quickly so enjoy every moment and every cuddle. Warm good wishes to your daughter for a speedy recovery.

flowers Congratulations and a very big hug to welcome you to the best club in the world! So glad your DD and DGD are OK - let no one take the miracle of birth for granted! I think when we were in the middle of having our own babies we didn't have the time to worry - other things on our mind! What a shame you have to wait a bit for those first cuddles but it will be worth it! In the meantime welcome to your new privileged status as a Grandmother ! smile
