Had to share happy news of the safe arrival of a much longed for grand daughter who has been born in Sweden.She is a little early and has a few cardiac issues but is gorgeous.
was thinking how lucky we are to be able to have technology that we can share in the joy a new baby brings.Its a joy to share her astonishment at having hiccups her ,not quite able to focus "who are you"moment and the happiness of her extended family all over the world.
Congratulations
Many congratulations to all. Such wonderful news. Xxx👍💜
Wonderful news Cloudancer. Many congratulations X
🥰 Congratulations! It’s always lovely to hear the lovely news of a new little life! xxx
Congratulations. I hope that you will be able to meet her one day.
Thank you I hope so to!
Congratulations.
Congratulations! When my granddaughter arrived a good friend gave me a card that said simply “let the magic begin “. I was unsure what she meant at the time, but I sure know now! And so will you 💕 xx
Thank you so much , can't wait
Congratulations to you all,have a lovely day and take care 😊 Bernadette and Jack 🐕 xxxxxx 🌻🌻
Many, many congratulations Cloudancer. What cheery news. Very happy for you. xx ❤️
Many thanks Caspiana - we are looking at ways to get me to Sweden -am not supposed to fly(even if lungs behaved themselves) for the first 3 months post stroke.Am sure we will find a solution.
She is such a blessing x
You definitely will. xx 🐥
ferry to amsterdam then onwards . Norwegian fwerries started doing that years ago so i am sure there is a ferry going to sweden . Good luck
I used to go overnight ferry from Harwich to Gotenberg, took car also so could drive wherever in Sweden and Norway. Good luck x
Think there was also ferry from northern England x
Thank you so much for that -I have taken the respiratory consultants advice not to fly for over 17 years.Saw him last week -advice still stands-we are looking at ferries!
Congratulations on the arrival of your new granddaughter, hope you will soon be able to hold her and of course spoil her xxx
Thank you so much.I am not a competent knitter but have been busy knitting cardigans ably assisted by hubby saying encouraging comments like"is that supposed to have so many holes in it"or "looks very small do you think it will fit her" or "what is that?"!
I'm sure there was lots of love went into knitting the wee cardigans for her xxx
😂 knitting is compulsory for new grandmas - the quality of the finished garment is absolutely immaterial, it’s the true love contained in every stitch and hole that counts 😊
What lovely news. Many congratulations Cloudancer! Three cheers for technology😊
Very good news, you could always try a Viking Longship.
Wow now that's an amazing idea!
I wonder if uber does them yet😁😁
I am having a Titanic moment on the prow of a Viking longboat!
Congratulations!
You could always take the ferry . I did it a couple of times, very enjoyable and yummy food. Ferry to Göteborg then train to or from Stockholm. Or you could train it all the way.
Thank you that might be the way to do it.Half the joy of such a trip is the planning!
Many congratulations to all. May she be happy and healthy. We already know she is loved. 💗😊
Thank you so much x
Congratulations 💝.i agree,technology is amazing,at times like this.my grandson wAS born in spain,so i know how u feel.i hope her cardiac problems r soon resolved and i hope u can soon hold her xxxxx
Thank you so much- do you manage to see your grandson?Yes we are so blessed with modern technology it's wonderful.
The health care in Sweden is excellent so little one has excellent access to the cardiologists .
Congrats!!
Congratulations, grandchildren are a true blessing, hope you get to meet in person soon xxSheila ⚘💕
Smashing news. Aint new life wonderful!
Congratulations to you grandma, the happy parents and all the extended family. xxx
Wonderful news. Congratulations to all xx
Congratulations Cloudancer, what a blessing for you and your family. I am sure you will get to see her, where there's a will there's a way and as Peege says there is a ferry from Immingham to Gothenburg, what an exciting time for you , keep on knitting they grow sooo quickly x
Thank you!Lots of "unique" cardies are in production - by the time she is 5 years old may have mastered the art of buttonholes which seem to pop up all over the place -I insist they are buttonholes not abstract holes and not necessarily where they should be....
Ha ha ha, I had the same problem as I am not a knitter and could only do one pattern. I ended up stitching round the hole to make them look more like a button holes x
Ah now that's a good plan!
Congratulations Cloudancer, have fun grandma the new tech makes things simple for long distance chats even with new borns, I was at a 30th birthday yesterday for my Grandsons partner along with most of my family including great grandchildren. Best wishes to you and your family.
Oh that's lovely I hope you all had a wonderful time x
Congratulations ! 💐 Truly brilliant that modern technology allows families to be so connected wherever they are in the world 😊
Isn't it wonderful
What joyous news! I am happy for you and your family. I live far from my daughter and her family (northeast US/Australia). We "Skype" most nights: 5:30 pm for me is 7:30 am next day for her (closest to time travel I guess I will ever get). Her older son is 5, younger son is 2 and talking with grannie on ipad is their "normal". Hope you find something like that. Take care...
That's a great idea many thanks Anniebeen.It gives me an incentive to try and suss out how all the button on my phone work.Isn't technology fabulous ?and how lucky we are to have it .
Yes! I remember when I was young my mother would get so excited when she got a letter from one of her sisters. I wonder if we could even write letters any more lol
A few years ago my grandson went through a phase of wanting letters, which i duly wrote, he loved them but soon outgrew this when he realised I wanted one back lol x
That's lovely
I still love writing letters!
Many congratulations to you and your family 😊
Thank you so much
Joyful news !
Thank you we are still on cloud nine x
Aww Congratulations to you & your family 🙂
Thank you she is such a blessing
Congratulations! And thank you for sharing your happy news.
