ZF - you've mentioned a number of times and older lady being with you - you've always felt the lady was friendly - maybe that's your great nan watching out for you.
I honestly don't think the 'friendly' here is nan i get a different vibe but i do know na is watching over us

i believe that there is someone watching over DD - i can't work out who exactly, but i think it's DH's mum. it's a comforting presence - and when DH is home it shifts as if stepping back because it knows we're protected by him - but when he's not home, there is definitely something. DD wakes up happy and talks her little head off to someone. she watches something that doesn't seem to be there - and it's always in the same places.
Aww that is gorgeous, it's an amazing feeling knowing someone is watching over us isn't it.

take comfort in knowing you have a "friendly" taking care of you. and if it was your great nan's "destiny" to pass and to help you bring A into the world, then she has done a damn fine job!
Yes yes she has, not sure she would have handled it so well IRL... lol
