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.
ReplyDeleteShe 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,
ReplyDeleteWelcome 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?
ReplyDeleteThinking 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.
ReplyDeleteShe 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.
