29 January 2008
8lbs

About a year before my grandmother died she passed me this. It was the telegram that my Dad sent telling her that I'd been born, as we were living in Nottingham and my Grandparents were in London. I was their first grandchild. No name was announced, I was just baby girl! But he did tell her I weighed 8 pounds. I've put on a bit of weight since then!

I have one of these announcing my cousin's birth. It's a wonderful keepsake, and a nice reminder at what hour you were born.
