I have not been a member of this forum for long, but, I just had to write because I am so excited.

I am a first time Grandma. 

My daughter gave birth to a baby girl, a couple of hours ago.

I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooo  excited. 

Now I can finish cross stitching the birth sampler I have been working on for the last few weeks.

I will be going in tomorrow morning to visit my daughter. It is early evening here and she is very tired after being in labor all day.

I am going to make sure I am armed with my camera when I visit tomorrow. 

I AM SO EXCITED   :dance:   :dance:   :dance:   :bday:

Hi Pauline and thanks.

I am soooooooooooo excited. I will be visiting her tomorrow and I will be armed with my camera.  Oooh, this is just so exciting. A little girl. I have been dying to buy pink. Now I can. And I will have to make her a special bear.

I am so sorry you missed out on my bear.  I was hoping you would win him.

I will have more up in the new year.  I have started a new one, centre head seam, in lovely creamy wavy mohair.  It is such a joy to be bearmaking again.

I hope all is well with you.

Bear hugs,
Cathie

Thanks everyone for the kind words and good wishes.  And thanks to those who commented on my Avatar. The bears name is Edwin and he is one of my earlier pieces. I think I did him in 2002 or 2003. He went to live in New York..........................

I am going to the hospital today, armed with my trusty digital camera.  Plenty of photos will be taken. My youngest son (who will be 13 on Dec 22) is coming with me. He is really excited to be an uncle.  He keeps calling me "granny" and I keep calling him "Uncle Patrick".   bear_original

Again, thanks to all those who wrote.

Bear hugs, Cathie

Hi Cathie,  That is just the best news, congratulations to everyone and a big "well done" to your daughter.  It must be just the most wonderful feeling to be a Grandparent.  I have got a bit of a wait yet!!  We would love to see pictures and hear any more news after you have visited.  Give her a big cuddle from all of us.
