Grandchild number 9, a younger sibling for Will and George,
due to arrive in July.
Will and George playing together,
Daughter had scan 2 days before Christmas it was her 12 week scan and our local hospital was concerned, they listed a long list of things which concerned them, which was heightened because George has Downs Syndrome. Daughter and SIL decided to have private scans and test at a different hospital. Yesterday the results came back very differently, baby has been given excellent odds against many of the issues suggested at 12 week scan. Private medicine is not cheap, but the test are less invasive, and the scans are longer, so time was give to daughter to ensure everything was covered. There may be a smaller issue, but all we can do is wait, the main thing is daughter is now not worrying, she can get on with their plans for moving children's bedrooms. This should have been my happy news for my last post in 2020, but the shock and upset sent me reeling whist trying to support our daughter and SIL. Daughter is not finding out the sex of the baby, as with both Will and George, she is happy to wait, to add to the joy on the day.
I am so pleased we are in a support bubble with daughter and SIL, it was hard enough to watch them both so upset, families are so important at times like these. We had Will on a sleep over on Tuesday night, he is becoming really angry at not going out, he loves space and running around, and meeting his friends, he was such a good boy for us, he loves being in the garage or cooking with his Grancha. Just the change for one night has helped him, he went home happy and good.
We are blessed with lovely boys, from Dominic who is not yet a year old to Josh who is now 15, sadly we have not seen much of our grandsons in the past 12 months, like every other grand parents we are missing so many parts of our lovely boys lives.
So for once good news, have a great weekend.
Lovely exciting news. You are so lucky to be able to bubble with some of your family, we certainly all need extra support at the moment. xcx

ReplyDeleteOh, such wonderful news. Many congratulations to all concerned. Adding to the family should be such a happy occasion so to have these worries must have been awful, I'm glad your daughter's mind has been put at rest a little with the recent scan and that she can enjoy the rest of her pregnancy.

Very glad to hear the initial concerns your daughter had have somewhat been brushed away. keep well Amanda x
