Introducing my little granddaughter. I have to tell you she is stunning. Gorgeous. Beautiful. Not that I am at all biased. Of course not. I am a Granny now, so I can say what I want to say.She is perfect.
And is starting to look around. This one and the first one were taken today, after her bath and just before I left to come home this afternoon. You have no idea how hard it was to leave. But I have that IVG thing again tomorrow to look forward to, and physio. Sigh. I needed to give her a long cuddle before I, very reluctantly, handed her back.
But here, my friends, is the moment I first got to hold her. She was yelling at the time. This is SO special. This is the moment Granny fell totally absolutely in love.
And here are the 3 grandparents just after she was born. Instant adoration. Isn't it amazing how one little bundle who weighs under 7lbs can command such love?I got there half an hour after she was born, but before anyone was allowed in to see her and her very proud parents. Thank heavens for clear roads. My son got there for the last hour or so of labour, and Granny2B2 was there to support her daughter all the way through the labour. She was a star. And so was Ann. In fact, the only thing I can think of is the joy. The laughter, smiles and happiness.
And Isabelle you are the winner of the "Guess when" contest! You guessed the right day, and the closest time, 8.18pm, and the exact weight! So email me your address, and your mystery gift will be on its way!
You know, this has been such a mad, happy, totally out of the ordinary experience, my friends. I am loving every minute of it and can't wait to be back with them all. But I have some leg stuff to sort tomorrow. What a contrast. My mind is all over the place and I am struggling to think coherently. She is here.
And there is much rejoicing all over the world.

I've never seen three more smitten grandparents. Such a sweet photo of you and the grandgirlie that I'm snagging it even if it is against every rule in the book. Sue me! I must have that one.
She is absolutely beautiful, too, Linds. What a marvelous full head of hair and quite obviously she has a beautiful singing voice, too.
Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.
Oh Linds,
Welcome to the Deeper In Love Club. I see the pure joy all over your beautiful granny face and I love it. You won't come down off of this "high" anytime soon so just enjoy the bliss. She is just beautiful and gorgeous, all in the same bundle. You didn't mention a name so maybe it is still being thought of? Have a wonderful day and enjoy the love. I am head over heels happy for you. Don't you just feel like bursting!!?!! And she looks so perfect in your arms!!:)
Love and Hugs, Laurie
Well done. You and your beautiful Grand daughter look just perfect. I am so happy for you all. When do they announce her name?
Thinking of you as you have your next leg procedure - Talk soon . Lots of love.
I am quite certain that if you can envision that precious little face while you undergo your torture that things will not be so bad.
She is simply precious and I love all of her hair. I see pigtails before too long!!! I am so glad that you got to see and love on her so quickly after her arrival. Those are priceless times.
Enjoy every minute, Granny.
She is beautiful, Linds! Huge congratulations.
That is such a lovely photo of you with the baby. There is nothing in the world, that ever quite matches that magic, of your very first Grandchild.
There is nothing in the world like that first look at your first grandchild! I am so happy for you and yours - and can't wait to hear her name!
WHAT IS THE NAME OF THAT GORGEOUS CREATURE IN THE PHOTO???
No, Linds, I don't mean you!
Can't wait to hear, and to see more shots of her. Is that RED hair??
Oh Linds, she's beautiful! I was hoping we'd get to see some pictures. :-)
Congrats again to all of you!
She is just gorgeous and looks perfect in your arms, Linds! I'm so glad you got to go right away. Looking forward to hearing her name and seeing many more pictures.
May you cherish every moment that you get to cuddle and be with her, Linds. You are going to absolutely love this next phase of life. God bless you all!
Sigh.......
I can't think of good enough words.
Beautiful, look at all that hair! and all the love filling up the room. It's for sure you have a special buddy here.
I just had to come back again tonight and look at the princess again. What a beautiful baby girl and her hair is outrageously cute. What a perfect gift from God to all of you. I am so happy for you Grammy Linds. Life is so good. Pure Joy is what I see in your face and I remember the feeling oh so well. Praying for your leg stuff tomorrow too. I am so glad you KNOW what it feels like now. It is the best!!!
Love and Many Happy Hugs, Laurie
