My oldest daughter and her husband are going to make me a Grandma sometime this month. Ever since last May when she told me I’ve been playing it cool. Now I feel like a 5 year old on the night before Christmas. I’m super excited and every time I talk to her I’m sure I’m irritating the heck out of her with questions that are very similar to shaking the presents under the tree trying to discern their contents. I ask her “How are you feeling?” - “Any contractions?” - “What did the doctor say?”
I remember how tired I was of those questions when I was pregnant with her and all of the knowing looks and the “I told you so’s” I got from my mom and that’s why I’m trying really hard not to do it to her. The thing is, she’s still MY baby and I can’t resist trying to take care of her even if it’s only words of advice and encouragement over the phone (she lives 2 hours away).
I cannot wait for the waiting to be over and for all the fun of being a Grandma to begin!
About me
There's a lot of things to know about me and all of them are hard to fit into this tiny block. There are many things that only a few people know and a few things that a lot of people THINK they know. Best way to know for sure is to talk to me, hang out with me - sit down with a frosty adult beverage and listen to some tunes with me. I'd say after a few hours you probably won't know me as well as you think - but you'll be drunk and that's good too. :)
