Sylvs, I hope your SiL get well very soon x


You lot have been quiet today, playing nicely?

Ok Gran Linda reporting in. Dea if you go to the dark side I posted a pic of the new arrival :-)

Another Grandaughter 7lb 9oz arrived 14.22 yesterday athey got home this afternoon. So we are now off babysitting duties for the 1st time this week.

No name yet :-(

Jonesey great news about your daughter she will be so pleased to be home <3

re my OH hospital are happy to leave it for 3 months till his next check up

Going out to wet baby's head.

And she is beautiful Linds, you must be very proud <3

Have a good time time wetting her head, but dont drown her ;-)

Congratulations Linda.

Nice to see that they still weigh babies using good old Christian units. :-D

When my daughter was born we did not have any scales at home so we improvised using the balance principle. She weighed 3 bags of sugar and a packet of tea, roughly 6lb 4oz.

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

waiting for her to get an appointment at the Agency, to get treatment options and to make a decision, and then for treatment to start.

I think it will be several weeks before we know anymore

but she is in good spirits ............ and she has deep faith to help support her.

Jonesey......did they not have scales, when your children were born :-S

My first weighed 8lb 9oz and the second 9lb 2oz...glad I didnt have to go through a third (although we tried)

Many congratulations Linds......yes, she's a beautiful little baby and you must be feeling so relieved that it's all over. <3

It must be helpful that your s-i-l is in good spirits Sylvs. Love to you all.



Jonesey, I guess all cooking was done by experience rather than exact measurements then..... love it!


My son was the size of an oven ready turkey! 9lb 11oz.


Ouch.



Have been busy with this and that today and have been playing very nicely thank you.

Took my friend out for a coffee which she thoroughly enjoyed.

Jonesey I had a laugh at that. Hope your daughter is feeling better now that she is home <3

Sylvia hope your S-I-L starts her treatment soon its good that she is upbeat a positive attitude is half the battle :-)

we have been comparing pictures of the two grandaughters and they are like two peas in a pod :-D

Son No 1 was 10 lbs (the doctors asked us what weight we both were and couldnt understand why I had had such a heavy baby.. Turns out my Dad was a 12 pounder 1928 and my poor Grans firstborn. OUCH) I have twin brothers and my Mum used to say she got two for the price of one comparing their birthweight to my sons :-)

Son No 2 was 8lb 8oz but son No 3 was 8lb 13oz and 23 and a half inches long.
he is over 6ft now. :-D

How is you getting on with your little 'tread mill machine' Cynths ??

Is it of any use??

Congrats Linds - she looks loverly !!!

Jonesey - I quite relate to that measurement of weight !!!

Ouch :-0

Gin,

Scales had been invented (It was in 1970) but we did not have any. :-P

My daughter was born at home because in the area we lived at the time unless birth complications were anticipated going into hospital to have your baby was not an option. My wife started labour on Friday afternoon but her waters did not break until 6:00am on Sunday morning. Our instructions were to ring the midwife when that happened and as we did not have a phone at home I went to the nearest public phone box to make the call. The midwife answered saying that as her car had broken down the previous day she would have to arrange for someone to give her a lift. I said that I would pick her up myself so after returning home to advise Mrs J that is exactly what I did.

The daughter was delivered (I helped to deliver her) at 12:30pm after which the midwife came to weigh her and realised that she had not got the spring balance she normally used to weigh newborn babies with her, it was in her broken down car.

Oh what an exiting life I have led. :-D

You have indeed Jonesey....... :-D



Dea.....my little treadmill is fine. We don't use it on nice days when we can get out, but it's useful for those 'orrible days. :-D


Must go to bed.....night all. ~~~~~~
