I'm home from the conference with some BIG NEWS!

[Janice]

Hello everyone

I had a very nice time at the conference in Cardiff, Wales. What a beautiful city. I did take some photos but really missed my DSLR.

However when I returned my son, Steven and DIL, Shona (married in May) came round to say that they are EXPECTING A BABY in February!

We are all thrilled to bits, it is taking bit of time to sink in, but was the first thing I thought about when I woke this morning. Will keep you posted.

They certainly do, they only got married in May and live right next door in a trailer home as they are planning to build a house!

Exciting news Janice. Congrats on being a nana for the first time.

I'll add my congrats here too! Don't be surprised if your grandchild comes up with their own name eventually. We were always "Grandma" and "Grandpa" until our grandson turned 4 and then he started calling us "Grams" and "Gramps." None of us know why or where he got that.. but that's we we are... and we love it!

I know Karen, you are so right. My eldest named my Dad 'Bumpy' and my mum 'Mum-mum', became a bit embarassing to them when they reached their late teens so they started to call them by their own names!

[Maryann]

Congratulations, Janice! That is wonderful news.

[Magnolia57]

[Chris]

Wonderful news, Janice! Congratulations!

[Ellie]

Congratulations Janice! That is wonderful news!!

[Marcie]

congratulations Janice! Enjoy that new baby.

[Traci]

I just saw this, Janice! I couldn't be more pleased if it were me! My own DGS is 16 now, but I still remember the thrill of that "big news". It can still warm my heart. As I have often said, if I had known how much fun it is to be a grandma, I would have skipped right over being a mum and gone right to grandma! :rofl2:

To get (nearly) serious....my DGS and I have a very special bond, and I think most grands can say the same thing. You are in for such wonderful times. And again, I am brimming with joy for you!
