Above the littlest Hedges confidently holds her bottle while swinging her leg in the air! Last week John and Debbie broke the happy news that they were expecting another baby. The littlest Hedges has just turned 7 months old and had to be weaned within a week. (Breastfeeding contracts the womb and this could pose a serious problem for the growth of the unborn baby) Being the complacent and adaptable little girl that she is, she is sitting in the feeding chair eating vegetables and cooked oats as if she's been doing it all along. She also took to her new drink of herbal tea and cows milk in a bottle.
John and Debbie had said all along they wanted four children and although this pregnancy has come a little unscheduled, we're all thrilled with the new blessing God has bestowed on our family.
Meanwhile, our younger son and dil, Angus and Amanda are expecting their first (a little boy) early in 2010. We cannot wait to meet him...
How exciting for you all!
ReplyDeleteSo many little cousins for each other.
Congratulations, Gran.
The family is GROWING.... Congrats!!!!!

Congratulations to all the happy families! (Wow, that's pretty close together but it sounds like your daughter is good with that.)
ReplyDeleteThanks VioletSky;) yes, for now all will be in the same town. Guests at children's parties shouldn't post a problem. Just use the family!
ReplyDeleteThanks Betsy!
Hi Sunny, yes, suddenly the family is growing. A real blessing.
Hi Loran;) I mentioned to my dil that my sister and I were also only 15 months apart and we are STILL close today (these two little ones will be 14 months apart) and
Wow you have good news too! But I have along way to catch up to 5 or 6. Hpe all goes well for the mothers.
ReplyDeleteOh I only just realised now, this is your FIRST grandchild... Congratulations AGAIN, diane. That is a very special occassion, when you become grandmum for the first time. You will realise how clever you are when this little one comes (lol!)

ReplyDeleteBaie geluk!! Geseënd is julle. Bethany se ogies lyk of hul vir Debbie wil sê: "Mamma, jy is die mooiste, beste en mees kosbaarste mens op aarde - ek is so-o-o lief vir jou!"
ReplyDeleteDankie Ida, dit is NET so. Al drie haar kinders wil altyd net vir ma he as hulle wakker word, seer kry, opgewonde is. Ons is baie geseend. Liefjo Jo (NS, ons is NOG hier in SA!)
