Awwwh

Congrats to your BF, and you and 'hello there' to baby Layla

I was lucky enough to have my bf with me at DS's birth. It made it all the more special.

Love to all

Lovely news LTH. How far do you have to drive to see her? Are you taking your brood with you?

I made it there in one peice (DrN, its about 100 miles), left the ds's with my brother and went to see them.

Oh lordy....We cried, and we cried and we cried some more.

It was a very special moment in time...seeing my friend of 23 years finally holding her own baby

Layla is the prettiest little thing I've ever seen. She's sooooo teeny. She has the pressiest almond shaped eyes(like her mummy) and lovely dark mop of hair(like her dad). The tiniest button nose I've ever seen. Daddy is Moroccan so she skin has a loviest bronze tone to it....

She really is a gorgeous gorgeous baby

Luverly LTH. Glad you left the boys with your bro. Can just imagine your friends face when 4 giant children arrive eying up her PFB
