Well, I actually had today's blog almost ready in draft ........ I had prepared it yesterday and just wanted to tweak it ..... all about my Sambuca nights - that will have to wait!!!!
I got a phone call at 4.34 am. And life changes all over again!
Perhaps not quite so much for me - I have now attained that slightly different role of being the grandmother!!!
Jess had woken with her contractions coming very fast. I suggested she and Ayden make their way to the hospital. I didn't rush. I got to the hospital at 6.30am and missed the birth by just 3 minutes!
I am glad though in a way - it would have been marvellous to have seen my grandson's birth but actually ....... it is good that it was that private moment between the couple who have created the new life.
BUT to be there so soon afterwards was equally wonderful .... and such a mixture of emotions. I already feel love and a bond with this little chap ... yet he is not mine ... I know that he will be well cared for and loved ... I have to let go and let them grow in their parenting!
That's tough !
Yet I am so proud of them both already and can't work out whether to laugh or cry (with tears of happiness)
It is a very VERY happy day !!!
Happy birthday Kovu Mark Daniel Goodwin-James - 5lb 7.5oz - 3/10/11
