I just had the priviledge to witness

[Sonolanona]

The birth of my granddaughter this evening!
My dd was expecting no 2. After a very long and difficult (and baby ended in nicu very unwell) with DGS during Covid , we were not expecting to get to hospital...and DD to deliver 35 mins later! My flask of coffee was still too hot to drink
It was the most moving and wonderful experience to be there for my daughter (with her lovely dh) and to welcome the new life into our world. Masses of hair and was feeding like a pro within minutes.. no ventilators or tubes this time.

Still on cloud 9, and am off to bed to cuddle DGS who is with me tonight :)

That's beautiful. Congratulations!

Amazing and congratulations

Congratulations to your daughter, son-in-law and you, enjoy more cuddles 🥰

I was present for the birth of my first grandchild, all was going well until my daughter couldn’t push anymore and baby was stuck, so she was rushed off for a c-section. Obviously her husband went to theatre with her while I was left in the delivery room, frantic. Luckily the maternity hospital was very quiet so I was allowed to go to the recovery ward where I stayed with my daughter and new grandchild for a few hours while her husband nipped home. I dressed the baby in their vest and sleepsuit. Was very special as was born just 3 months after my mum passed away. Nearly 10 years later I have a very close bond with them.
4 more grandchildren later and I’ve not been at any births but have looked after the older grandchildren whilst my two daughters were giving birth to their younger ones, subsequently I’ve been the ‘first’ to see all 5.

Congratulations! How lovely that you could be there.

Congratulations Grandma! That's wonderful news.

Enjoy cuddles with your GS.

Oh congratulations to all of you OP.

What a lovely thread

And the 'hot coffee' comment made me laugh! 😁

It's so nice to read such a joyous post! Congratulations to you all :)

Fantastic! Congratulations and I hope you get a good rest and have a lovely day tomorrow ❤️

So so many congratulations 💖 I remember seeing my first grandchild ever being born and thinking how amazing it was to see your own baby daughter having her own baby ! It was pure magic. Lots of love to all of you
