Congratulations and how very exciting for you. You really have no idea how blown away you'll be. It's a wonderful time. Hope all goes well (and soon).
Hope you don't have to wait too much longer 
All the very best Bolton. My mum always says that she felt more alive when she became a grandparent than when she became a parent.
Great news, Bolton! 
My first born was 16 days late, just to warn you! 
Wonderful, Bolton.
All the best
Wonderful news Bolton, I hope your grandson doesn't keep you waiting too long.
Awww fingers crossed you get to meet him/her soon Bolton.
I'm waiting for my new niece/nephew to arrive...5 days late so far and still no sign 
all the best for your grandson Bolton and your niece/nephew Temps
How exciting. Make the most of it. When my first grandchild was born, I went to the pub on my own, ordered a rather large brandy and a hamilton cigar and proceeded to enjoy both.

Go Cologne - that is brilliant! 
I hope he's not going to be too late although his dad, my son, wants to be able to be at the Arsenal match on Sunday so is hoping Monday's the day.
I feel like I've been waiting forever and his poor mum-to-be feels even worse!
How's she doing? Head engaged? has she had a show?
Are all systems go...?
She's had a bit of a show - things are progressing very slowly it seems. Unfortunately no pains, just Braxton Hicks - hopefully they will become the real thing before long. Poor girl doesn't know what she's in for!
Oh yes and head's engaged
Must be so exciting ....hope you (and Mummy) don't have to wait too long!

My eldest was born on March 14th 1998..the day Arsenal beat Man Utd 1-0, goal scored by Overmars...always engraved on minds cos MrB had match blaring out on maternity ward. I'm sure he would have gone home to watch match if I'd let him!!!!!

A friend once told me that you think becoming a parent is the most wonderful thrill in life.
But that becoming a grandparent is even more thrilling.
Hope all goes well Bolton.
Oh, I bet you are pacing Bolton.......paddled in the sea, made sandcastles, with my two grandchildren today......you can look forward to seeing the world through a child's eye again......
Great stuff!

I managed to have both of my sons when there were London-Manchester derbys on.
It kept my dad occupied, but gave the expectant father and excuse to leave me to it. 
Dad won a fair few pounds both times and the 'expectant' is now the ex
All the best to you and yours; exciting times
I hope you don't have to wait too long Bolton Fan Come on baby Bolton! x
Ohh all your comments about grandchildren have got me even more excited - its bringing it all back from when my own two boys were little!
And he will be a Baby Bolton - he has no choice! Me and my two sons and his mum-to-be all have season tickets at the Reebok and his is just waiting for him to be old enough to join us (poor little thing - us making him suffer with the rest of us!)
Aww Bolton are you in for a treat!! Prepare to be blown away.
When my grandson was due my work colleagues kept asking me "how are you gonna feel" with a big grin. I was mystified and (I regret to say lol) thought it was probably the daftest question I'd ever heard. When I picked up that little bundle the whole world changed. Being a grandparent really is the most rewarding thing ever. I've adored him every single day since.
It's fabulous! We love our grandsons!
