ome of you may have wondered where I've been the last little while. Those of you who are already grandmothers will understand. I am quite besotted with my new and first grandbaby - Nora Moore. She arrived on July 12th, after a long labour, but both Mom (Emily) and babe are doing well. She weighed in at 8 lb. 5 oz., and 21 1/2" long, has lots of dark hair, long fingers and feet, and is a mellow baby. I've just had the treat of spending time down in Victoria where Nora and her parents live. Lots of time to hold this little bundle, as well as to help out with household responsibilities. It is quite something to see one's own child become a parent, to see such tenderness and in-love-ness with their new infant. I find I am just a little pre-occupied these days, wondering how they're doing, how Nora has changed. The great thing is that they live down island from us, about 2 1/2 hours away - not so long to drive when there is such a lovely bundle awaiting one at the other end. Quilting has taken a bit of a back seat for now, but I think you'll understand why!

What happy news! Congratulations on becoming a grandma, Pippa!!
ReplyDeleteI completely understand! Congratulations and welcome to the club! I keep saying that had I known how wonderful it is to be a grandmother I would have started sooner. LOL! Enjoy being besotted and spend as much time as you can soaking up the love!
ReplyDeleteBig smile :D Congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful for you, Pippa! Congrats all the way around. She is a long little girl - Tim was that length too and always seemed like such a stretched-out little guy. I hope you have great fun with Nora. They say a grandchild makes up for any grief their parent may have given you...
