Reasons To Be Blithesome

[LadyCG]

^^^ Just thought I'd shake it up a bit...

1. It's the weekend and it's a scorcher

2. My new-bi-folds look awesome

3. I've had a very productive day

4. I snuggled up with Junior for a two-hour nap earlier

5. I've been very good all week so I'm going to sit out on the would-be patio and sip wine as the sun goes down.

What are your reasons to be .. err ... blithesome?

[Cloverjo]

OMG I’ve just found out I’m going to be a granny! Waa! I’m very blithesome :)))

[LadyCG]

Wow, congratulations, Clo-Jo. Is this a first grandchild?

[Cloverjo]

Yes, the first one.
I’m so excited

[LadyCG]

How lovely - when is the baby due? I bet you don't know the sex yet?

[Cloverjo]

Due in December. My son and his wife will find out the sex in August. I’m not sure if I want to know before it’s born.

[LadyCG]

Oh I couldn't wait when it was me. I went for a babybond scan at Mothercare at 16+3 and after what seemed like forever she declared I was having a boy. When I came to have my NHS scan at 20 weeks and I showed her the photo of the "doodah" she laughed and said that that was a foot.

For the remainder of the pregnancy we were never sure what we were going to have because he was always in an awkward position.

We have a new grandchild due in November, no idea of the sex as the parents didn’t want to know even though they’ve had the 20 week anomaly scan.
The family are arriving here tomorrow for a week, blithesome doesn’t come close..

[LadyCG]

That's lovely, Vagus and I bet you you can't wait to see them tomorrow or for the baby to arrive.

Congratulations, Clover Jo. Nothing like it! So happy for you all.x

[LadyCG]

How's your little grandson now, Patsy? He's about the same age as my little terror I seem to remember?

[DTCwordfan]

no wonder you are beyond blithesome, Jo, I wonder what the superlative is for this? Congrats and enjoy your time with them.

[Patsy33]

Hi LCG, yes that's right, about the same age.
He is a little darling. Such a character too!..
We love him so much...
Your little boy looks a dear soul too. x

[LadyCG]

They do have funny little characters :-)

[DTCwordfan]

they don't change much, believe me!

[Smowball]

Congratulations!!

[LadyCG]

Thanks, DT :-)

Today he bit the tops off 3 chocolates muffins and then put them back in the box. They were meant for OH and the Electrician.

[Patsy33]

I'm sure they won't notice! .. :-)

[LadyCG]

Patsy, they looked like they'd been attacked by rats! He's just eating the remnants of one now.

[DTCwordfan]

sugar high - and after a long nap - a long evening!

[LadyCG]

Nowt wrong with that, DT.
