Morning all. 5.5 when Zara got up at 7.15 after “twittering” on from 6.15. It could have been worse.
Anyhoo, glad tidings. Granddaughter number five ( grandchild number 6) arrived unexpectedly at 7.55pm last night. Daughter only dropped Zara off at ours at 5 and left at 5.30. Her waters broke at 5.45 just as she got home, by 6pm her contractions were coming thick and fast, got to hospital 7pm and they were barely one minute apart. They were in the middle of a shift change and they told her to wait, son-in-law told them she couldn’t wait any longer. Straight into the delivery suite, minimal pushing and she arrived, 7ln 11ozs and the spit of Zara. Son in law sent us a photo at 8.30 with no message and we thought it was a prank and it was from Zara’s birth! Mr Eggy was even trawling through photos from that time to see if daughter had the same hairstyle! Then we got a message with all the details. In the rush Abby ( daughter) didn’t grab her phone but she called us from her husband’s phone and sounded elated. She said she was running on adrenaline. She’s asked us not to tell Zara as they want to surprise her when they come for her. Abby had to stay overnight because of the gestational diabetes, she has to have her BGs monitored for a few hours. No name yet, they’ve only known they were having a girl for 18 weeks! Very relieved it’s all over and she doesn’t have to go through being induced. We’re still in shock at the moment. Nice shock though.
Have a super Sunday. We will.
