Morning my lovelies –weather is foul here and don’t think it will ever get light! Sorry been MIA this weekend, had DH DD down as you know. Didn’t go brilliantly – though we did get a hug for her new phone for her birthday tomorrow. Hugs are good whatever the reason xx

– DD2 is pregnant. She’s only 18 and just started uni and she and boyfriend no longer together but still friends. there are much worse things!!

As you can imagine we were floored, but remained positive as you have to don’t you? From what we can gather she had her last period in August – she thinks (!!!!!!?) – so could be coming up to 4 months, so even if she wanted to not have it it’s probably too late. They are booking her in for a scan to determine how far she is. Basically she wants the decision to be out of her hands as she says she can’t make it. She had test done at doctors at uni and they are booking her in for the scan down there, but we want her at our doctors and up her with us. I'm that scatty too.. .. but it depends on whether it was the beginning or the end of August as well.. 4 weeks makes a big difference at the start as you know.

Am sat at work and just want to cry, trying to keep it all together, my bottom lip keeps wobbling and I HAVE to get a grip. She’s just rung her portfolio manager at uni, who was lovely, told her to take week off and that to see her next week and talk through her options. She’s now ringing doctors for an appointment. Update – she’s just rung them and she’s no longer registered as she has registered with uni doctors!!! !!!!!!!!!!!! So she has to go and register today and then they will make an appointment for her tomorrow.

Sorry for the telling you all, but there’s no-one I can talk to at the moment. Even my sister doesn’t know yet. Don’t even want to think about my mum and dad or her other grandparents yet. Her Dad is coming back today from golfing in Spain, we’ve told her that we will be there if she wants when she has to tell him. I said I’d tell him, but she feels she has to. !!!!!! is it to do with any of them?? Did anyone tell you when you could or could not have your children? Unless she is asking them to bring her baby up for her it is none of their business whatsoever!!

Love and hugs to those that need them, sorry haven’t caught up from old thread so don’t know what’s happened

A xxx

Chin up sweetheart.. there are worse things to bring into the world than a baby!!

Don't be sad about it.. think of all the joy it will bring and the love you can all share.. it isn't the end of her life it is the beginning of a new one! Rejoice!! I've lived this from both sides and I know it isn't easy or the path you would have chosen for her but she is an adult to all intents and will learn by her own actions!

Just support her in whatever decision she makes, as we know you will and wish her well from me and give her a big hug.

And it is my Moomins birthday tomorrow.. she is the grand old age of.. 7

ETA~... I'm a few years younger than you are

JillD - thanks - means a lot! It's keeping me going (about the only thing that does) getting things ticked off - what is the alternative? Can't face that now!

Well I think you are marvellous If it was me I would be drowning in self pity and kleenex. And gorging myself on chocolate. Oh wait I tend to do that anyway. I have discovered when you buy Cadburys Dairy Milk at Asda it shows up on the receipt as CDM which is great cos if anyone spots the receipt they have no idea that you have spent £1.50 on chocolate and bought nothing else :rotfl:

Just popped in to say Hi and that i am still here and i see hugs and supporting vibes are needed by carlsberggal - I see pigpen has put it beautifully - so ditto to what she said with humungous hugs on top. Will I get a slap if i call you granny??? I know its a shock angel but she has been up front with you and thats a good start and think of that wee bundle thats coming for you to goo over and spoil - he/ she will be so loved and your DD will be fine - Uni these days are well used to these things and there is no reason why she cant still do her course - its not terminal - as pigpen said - its the start of a wonderful life.

we are all here for YOU when you need to cry or rant - chin up angel - and you will make a very glamourous granny!!!

I have been pottering but not acheiving as much as i wanted - i must learn not to leave things to the last minute.
VIP will be arriving in about 30 mins - which is an hour ealrier than i had expected so had better get moving and make myself presentable.

will be back later to catch up proper and do stars

have a great day all
love n hugs
toots xx
