My daughter has just emailed me the Scan of her baby... My first grandchild....it has a head with a mouth and a spine and everything!!!...that's about all I can make out but everything is fine. Baby due February 2006. Exciting or what!!!!

There is nothing better than you 1st granchild!!! I now have 7 My Daniel is now18 Many many congratts :-)))) Welcom to nannyhood Nanny Gerri

congrats, I'm not at the granny stage yet. Old enough but can't get me only child (daughter) to get out and find herself a man (she's 27) Just had a bad break up several months ago and thinks men suck right now. Going to be a great aunt though in a few months. Love baby's so have fun with grannyhood

Thanks Rebs....gee, your nice!!! lol Gerri....gosh got to go some to catch up with you.... Jacquie xxxx

Debbie, my eldest daughter is 31...!!! The one having the baby is 28....there's always hope!!! She is coming to see me for a month at Easter, so I get to see the baby when only about 7weeks old! Jacquie xxxx

That sound so great, spending time with your first grandchild. Does your daughter live far away. I know with my daughter there's lots of time, I'd rather she was happy with her mate rather than with someone just for the sake of having a relationship. Keep telling her it's her time now to find out who she really is and that she is worth respect etc.

Congratulations Jacquie, you must be over the moon. How lovely to have that picture to keep peeking at, makes it seem real eh? Think I will have to wait a while, my son is 23 and at the moment with a girl who already has a nearly 5 year old son (not his). Joe is starting fulltime school next month so girl wants to start working - hope if they stay together they won't make me wait too long. They have been together 2 1/2 years now.

Thanks for that Purple! Debbie - she lives in England, I live in Grenada!!! Jacquie xxx

Oh Oleander how very exciting for you! At least you could recognize the bits on the scan, I am afraid I had to pretend! You will be a great Grandma I know it. XX BC

How exciting for you, Christmas will be be exciting again, too June xx

Just woken up....5.56am LOL, BC....a Great Granma....let me get used to being a Nana first!!! Poppin will be a Step Grandad....he's sooo excited! June....Christmas will only be good again if I can manage to go to England or they can come to me!!! Can't see me getting to England again in the near future! Thanks for you congrats.... Jacquie xxxx

I remember vividly going in for my first scan with husband and we didn't know what to expect. It was staggering to see our BABY on a tv screen, sucking his thumb and kicking his feet. I think the enormity of parenthood began to sink in then. I know we were both so overwhelmed we were unable to speak and my legs wobbled like mad as we walked back to the car. That baby is now 13 and doesn't suck his thumb. nell

That is great, congratulations. Aren't scans wonderful. My daughter had one last week baby is due in in 3 weeks. So you could really see his/her face. It was lovely kept sticking it's little tongue out cheeky monkey. Germaine x

Lovely news Jaquie, Congrats to you and your family, Natalia x

wow - what fantastic news! everything else pales into insignificance now. My first grand child was born over in Australia - so I know how you feel - but wow - bet you cant wait til Easter - and snuggling the little one in your arms. Enjoy every second of it

That's wonderful Jacqui, I hope all continues to go well with your daughter and baby. An exciting yet worrying time until baby safely arrives. ann Glos xx
