Hi all, I am feeling rather guilty that I am having such an amazing time this week when some of you are not well and are having troubles.  But maybe my sunny days will rub off and brigten your days.
This morning I had a phone call from my daughter saying that she wasn't sure, but thought her waters had broke.  Her hubby was at work and the hospital said to just come in for a check up, so she asked me to go with her.
We expected her to be home tonight, but no.............
She had a darling little boy at 1pm by cesarian section. She was 5 weeks early and had a c-section as the baby was breach.
He is a 6lb 2oz cutie, and I think that is a good weight for a little premmie, I think that they said he was borderline, but he only needed a little air for an hour and he is fine 
This is ontop of an amazing week which started on Sunday with the Melbourne Teddy Event, where I won Bear of Show for the second year running.  I also won best bear under 6" for a little minkie.  On top of that I sold quiet a few bears and met some great collectors and bear artists.
Every thing seems to happen at once both when it's bad and when it's good, thank goodness for the good times.
And I hope my good news brightens your day.

Sweetheart never apologize for having a run of good luck or something joyful happening!!!       It just spreads that much more joy and happiness to others that need it  :hug:

Congratulations  :bday: Your grandson's adorable!!!  And thank goodness for your daughter that they did the c section.  I've a friend that delivered a breach baby, no c section, and to this DAY she still talks about how truly, truly awful it was  ...and the 'baby boy' in question is now a decent 30 something 

:clap:  :dance: Congratulations on your win too!!!  :dance:   I know how exceedingly hard it is to work with real fur in mini!

Congrats Grandma and a VERY Happy Mother's Day to you!!! How exciting!
Im so happy to hear that your new Grandson is doing well.
Wow, a 6lb 2oz preemie. He looks so healthy and I think that is a great weight for being 5 weeks early!
Have a wonderful day and enjoy that sweet little bundle of joy...before you know it, they are all grown up!

Bear Hugs,
