Bella's Day

Today our wee grandaughter Bella Tree came into the world, what a delightful gift for us all especially the proud mum and dad Layla and Joe, may Love and Peace be hers today and always.
Awoke early this am as I had to go and buy sheets for the wee one to sleep on, managed to get some lovely warm ones.Took
Ruaridh for his daily walk to the park and in the woods, then spent quite an angst ridden day! Last we heard at 0116 hours this morning was that Layla was having contractions starting at 0100 hours then nothing more. Eventually I telephoned the labour ward about 1100 hours to be informed she was in labour. Joe telephoned at 1200 hours to say things were ok and progressing well. We waited all afternoon Graham counting the hours, moi cleaning the bathroom and knitting the blanket.
Telephoned my mum, then Chris and Liz two women who Layla calls auntie telephoned to ask if there was any news. At 1800 hours the telephone rang and yes it was Joe saying "Hello Grandmother," Bella was here! Layla and baby were fine even though the bairn is small. Joy of joys quite an emotional time for Graham and me. Going to pick up the pram tomorrow, then a visit to see the Tree family at the hospital in the afternoon, can't wait.
Graham and moi had a bottle of wine tonight to celebrate. Goodnight.
