My daughter called me at work today
& asked if I had a minute to hear something. When I said yes, I heard whoosh, whoosh & thumpthumpthumpthump, my grandbaby's heartbeat! I've never heard anything so wonderful (since I heard her heartbeat).

8. Grandbabies are the best...mine are 10 and 11 now, so no longer babies
but they'll always be my babies anyhow!
Hope all goes well with her pregnancy and delivery, and that she has a healthy, happy baby!:hug:

10. Good for you! Books rock..."The Little Brute Family" is my all-time
fave kids' book...it's out of print now, but you can get a new paperback copy for about $3 on Amazon

It's by the same author who wrote the Frances books (the little badger and the tea set one...)
