im so excited

good morning everyone
don’t have a card to share today  was knocked off my feet yesterday with bad throat and cold
here’s the good part…

i have know for a few weeks now that my youngest son and his partner
are expecting their first baby early next year …
but they ask not to tell anyone till they had been for first scan
with me being unwell i told them to text me didn’t want them to get the nasty bug i have
so late yesterday afternoon the text arrived….
they sent me over the scan picture you know the fuzzy scan sort lol
i replied a beautiful baby bumpkin how lovely .
Son text back

 IT’S TWINS 
thankfully i was sat down  i know i would have fallen lol…
i am still reeling to be honest with you such an unexpected
surprise
i hope you will understand i might be missing for few days till my excitement settles down
  just can't concentrate on making cards at moment
thank you for popping by
