[aloha]

I was talking about this today with another mumsnetter! I agree it is lovely news. I really felt for them both when Jennifer died. Any name yet?

[waterbaby]

My eyes welled up when I heard this on the radio tonight - I don't normally pay much attention to 'celeb' stories, but Gorden touched my heart with some of his tributes to their daughter. Great news if your there Gordon

[doormat]

what lovely news for them

[lilibet]

I know - I wsa so thrilled too and got a bit teary, he was so thrilled when their daughter was born, and then so dignified afterwards. Wish them all the happiness in the world.

[codswallop]

oh that is great. name?

[XAusted]

No name yet. Isn't it nice to hear good news for a change?

[CnR]

That's really lovely to hear. I remember them losing their daughter and feeling very sad for them when the tributes were being given by Gordon Brown.

I was so happy for them too, I confess I wept buckets this afternoon. The feeling of bringing a baby into the world safe and sound after losing one is a very particular one (I was feeding dd at the time and gave her an extra special squeeze). Well done Gordon and Sarah and let's have a name for him soon!

[Frenchgirl]

agree with all of you and I had a little tear in my eye when I heard aaahhhh

[codswallop]

Lets e mail them the thread when all is done.

[XAusted]

Good idea, Codswallop! Maybe they'll become mumsnetters!

[suedonim]

I had a tear or two in my eyes when I heard the news while in the car today. It's so lovely to hear something happy on the news.

I was so happy for them. I remember Gordon Brown coming out of the hospital the day Jennifer Jane was born, and he just couldn't keep the smile off his face. (Wouldn't it be funny if a birth announcement appeared in a day or two on mumsnet!).

[Posey]

Hadn't heard that news so thanks for sharing it with us. How they must be feeling right now!
I've gone all goose pimpley just thinking about it. DH thinks I've gone very soppy since ds was born, and I guess he's right.

[Davros]

Wonderful news, it was so sad. How about a "virtual book" on the name? I vote Angus

[3GirlsMum]

Was really pleased to see the news about their healthy son. Never been through what they did but as a parent realise how traumatic it must have been for them. Wishing them lots of good health. x

I just saw this on yahoo and it brought tears to my eyes too. Ds2 was a few weeks old when they lost their little girl and I remember crying in the register office when I went to register his birth, as I was reading a leaflet about how you had to register a baby's death and was thinking about Gordon and Sarah Brown having to do that, when it should have been such a joyous time for them.

[Brunhilda]

I am really really happy for them. And for Sophie Wessex - she's having hers soon.

Wonderful wonderful news.

[hoxtonchick]

Lovely news, it's making me weepy now . Their little girl was due at the same time as my ds was & it was just so sad.

[whitewater]

Ive just seen it on the news, and watched Gordon's brother come out, looked like he had been crying with happiness. I must admit I went all shivery. Lovely news and Congratulations Sarah and Gordon if you are reading this in the next few weeks!

[WideWebWitch]

Oh I know, it is good news after the tragedy of their first isn't it?

[lilibet]

Posting this to them is such a good idea
Could we claim tax releif on mumsnet subscriptions Gordon?

pleeasssseeee????

[CountessDracula]

This (among many things) made me cry tonight. I am so happy for them.
