I'm going to be a grandfather! Woo hoo! They haven't tuppence to rub together, so there'll be 3 generations under one roof. Still, DD is doing well after the throwing stopped, he's working all the hours God sends, and with luck I shall see New Person into their teens, as opposed to my DF who got less than 7 years of DGF hood. Wish us luck.

My darling Dad said before he died that one of the highlights of his life was holding DD2 just hours after she was born.

It is a very special bond OP. Thank you so much for sharing and reminding me of all that love.

You could eat that boy with a spoon. Those cheeks 💗

Super pic, what a cherub.

I think this is about the loveliest thread I have read on mumsnet.
Congratulations to the new Mum and Dad, and to the obviously very proud Gandad!

OohLookASquirrel · 01/09/2017 12:35

He is a darling, bless him. I wish them all the luck in the world. It's hard having a family young, but it sounds like they have loads of support so are bound to do well. Congratulations to you and your DD

Yes. Dad is putting in a stellar performance. He's taken 3 weeks off and is doing the night settling and expressed feeds. For a young guy not yet 21 he is just amazing. DD said that she's holding herself back from interfering, because he won't do the wrong thing but a different thing. He's quite an easy baby so far, he'll make a remark and then be quiet while stroked. Actually, I've yet to hear him in real distress.

But my god he's tiny! 6 3, the smallest baby I've ever held

Oh what a truly lovely thread. Congratulations on your new grandson he's a cracker. You are going to be a fabulous grandad. What a lucky, lucky wee boy. Oh yeah and my eyes might feel a bit leaky after your lovely excitement & description of him. 😊

Bear Congratulations on your grandson. Pointing at stuff, delightful. Smile

FruBayerischOla · 29/08/2017 16:49

Oh, Disgrace, what wonderful news - and your new grandson is gorgeous. Congratulations to you all Flowers

OohLookASquirrel · 29/08/2017 16:46

Awwww!!! Congratulations!!

implantsandaDyson · 29/08/2017 16:39

What a beautiful baby Grin, hope all are doing well. My dad has four grandchildren, he is a great dad, he's a bloody brilliant granda. He adores all four of the girls and they all love him very much, there has been the odd eye roll and muttering about what radio stations are tuned in his car, he has yet to appreciate the genius of Bruno Mars according to my 9 year old! Don't forget the empty paper bag and finger clicking trick.

dontcallmelen · 29/08/2017 16:33

Awww many many congratulations, you will have so much fun.
Our dgd was born eighteen months ago & never knew I had such capacity for love, she brings so much joy & our garden & house has been overtaken with toys/books/ slides etc.
Enjoy the newborn snuggles 💐
