Well it certainly looks as if Lily approves. How gorgeous she is and how proud, understandably, Grandad is!
Congratulations all round.

Lovely to share your happiness at Lily's arrival. Your son-in-law will revel in being a proud grandad....hubby and I are proud nana and grandpa to 4 and they bring us lots of joy and chaos!

Congratulations to all the family. :) Enjoy the cuddles...they are the best from newborns.

Lovely photo of the family. Thank you for sharing....

Felin she is a little beauty... Well done on getting this lovely photo on.......

Thank you everyone. I was so touched by your remarks that I have taken copies which will be forwarded to Lily's Mum for their birth history book.
I shall now try to get back down to earth and start taking photos of flowers again. xx

What a great family photo she is lovely .

A lovely flower she is, too! :-)) A very nice name for such a lovely looking baby girl! :-))

We are expecting to be proud grandparents for the 2nd time before Christmas as well! Our daughter is expecting her 2nd child but has had complications. The doctors expect to have to do a caesarean section in the coming weeks. She spent the best part of last week in hospital after a haemorrhage the Friday before. She's back home now but the doctors have ordered permanent rest till the birth. Very difficult for her with a 3 & 1/2 year old daughter to attend to!

I do hope your daughter keeps well for the birth of your second grandchild, Balcony. It is worrying when complications arise. I hope your toddler granddaughter will be patient with mom and be content with cuddles as mom rests.

Poor lass:just when one is already fed up with the level of inactivity, to be told not to do anything at all must be so frustrating. I do hope that the situation improves and that she gets through it without continuing complications. Please let us know when it all happens.
Thank you for your lovely comments about Lily, Balcony and you too Mavis. x

Thanks for your concern & I will indeed keep you informed of how she gets on.

It is very difficult for her. She has had to give up work for the duration of her pregnancy & her partner has had to take on all the responsibility of the house, their daughter & go to work, knowing our daughter is exposed to another haemorrhage at any moment.

My wife calls her several times a day to see how she is getting on but she is more worried for her partner than for herself! The stress he is suffering is only going to get worse till the baby is born.

Yes, Balcony...do keep us posted. It's a worrying time for yourself and your wife as well and as you mention your daughter's partner is carrying a heavy responsibility alongside all the worry. Take care...
