She's Here!


Yay I'm a Nonna at last! Sweet baby Grace was born at 1.44p.m. yesterday to her exhausted parents Son #4 & his partner Miss K. At 3.62kgs. (exactly 8lbs.) she made her appearance 10 days early, but after a check, that renown Paediatrician Dr. MOTH reckons she was well cooked. 


Just a couple of dodgy phone shots from a quick visit last night, we were surprised to see her fair hair as her Daddy looked like a little orangutan at his birth 30 years ago. A mass of black, black hair on his head & soft black down all over his body! Dr. MOTH reckons Gracie's been here before - her pensive, wise gaze is mesmerizing. It's been a big couple of days, now back to earth for us all.

    Wow, that brings tears to my eyes! Congratulations! Love the name Grace. And so lucky with 5 sons you now have your little girl to dote on!

    My parents were the best grandparents that could be and it so enriched my son's life. Nothing's better than a grandmother in a mutual admiration society. My grandmother was an intelligent, stylish wonderful woman I adored and was so fortunate that could spend oodles of time with her. I'm sure Grace will be singing that same tune! She's already way ahead in life with a Nonna like you!

    All best from Carmel-by-the-Sea on your happy, happy event!
