New arrivals

Long long time since last post and so much has happened. Both daughters have had children, which makes me a granny. A granny. Wow. If you thought you loved your children , wait until the next generation comes along. From the scans, to the agonizing last few weeks wait, it has to be the most beautiful process. Was very fortunate to be extremely involved from day one. B had her daughter first and what a miracle baby she is. B was told it was unlikely she would have children due to her crohns. I was with her when she took the test and at most of her scans and was very lucky to be in the room when our little girl came into the world. After a 36 hour labour, it was a very emotional time all round. Three months later we welcomed my grandson into the world. We are so very blessed. We are now a year down the line and I cannot explain the thrill of watching the two of them grow. When we have children, we are so rushed, and stressed that while we cherish our children, we do not truly appreciate the miracle of life. Each first is so special. I am like a proud mommy on speed. I have become one of those grandparents who keep whipping out the photos (HORROR) and now with facebook - there is a constant daily update on what they are up to. It took a while for me to notice that most people are really just being polite by looking, but have realised I just don't care. Their blank looks can't stop me being THAT granny. How amazing it is to hear a child laugh. Even better - a gleeful giggle. B stays with us, so at a year old we are trying to teach C that no is no. Shes mobile, so gets into everything. Just so hard not to laugh when she points her finger back at her mother and says no back, only to continue touching whatever it was she was touching! To the followers out there. Am back and promise not to just talk about the little sunshine's all the time. Will be hard. But I promise
