I flew to Cape Town as little one(first grand daughter) was supposed to arrive on the 18th October, however she says she is rather comfortable where she is and will make her apprearance when she thinks it is the right time.
However come Friday, she will have no option but to arrive as the Dr says the is the last day she stays put. I went with for the last scan and all I can see is a mop of hair. Both parents have lots of red hair so it is going to be interesting to see what this one has.

Sandy is now waddling around the house, with us hovering around saying, felt anything yet. It is also their first baby so great excitement in the air.

I will keep all posted.

Well our little one said Saturday was the day and after keeping her mother in labour for hours on hours and with each visit the Dr saying another two hours then into theatre for a caesar, Sandy eventually was able to have a natural birth with the help of an epidural.
I was able to get a flight back to Cape Town and was outside the curtain in the labour room, so heard her take her first cry and was then able to spend some time with proud mom and dad.  Sandy is back home so I will help them for tonight and then her mom will arrive.

Mom is fast asleep with baby on her chest and I am on duty so will post some pictures later.

I am walking on air with a grin from ear to ear.

Jane, her hair is fair  and actually not that much, the scans had us fooled. Right now mom is feeding. It is interesting to watch little Minki(grand daughter woofs), she is not so sure about this new arrival and has already had a few sniffs. Max is also looking at all this, and both Jeannie and Jacky could not be bothered at all, far better to chase cats instead.

Lynette,
She looks exactly like you bear_original I've done a lot of clay busts of people in my younger years and I can tell she'll have your smile and nose, can't tell about her eyes from the photo.
Congratulations!
