Okay, first of all, this isn't really MY news, but I feel like it is. I'm going to be a grandma again! While dd wrestled for months about having this baby, I did what I could: I said I would support whatever decision she made, and then I prayed. She didn't seem to be in a real hurry about it, even though I reminded her a few times that she was running out of time if she was going to terminate. Yesterday, she knocked on my door and asked me if I would support her in having this baby. Of course!!!
I really do feel that my prayer was answered. She was so against having this baby at first, and dsil told her that it was her decision. After all, there will be 9 years between this baby and dgd2, and dd is pretty much starting over, after having gotten the two girls on their way.
Oh, but to have a baby in the house! Dsil's niece has been staying often with us, and she has an 8 month old little girl, and dsil is absolutely smitten with her, as are we all. And to have another little one in the house will just be great.
Well, I've rambled on enough about it. Now I need to get started making baby stuff. And picking up some, since dd has given so much of her stuff away. I'm writing lists, like I'm going to forget what babies need. How silly! DD isn't ready to go public yet, but most of her close friends already know, and so do the girls. I need to write my mother in law soon, and tell her. I wish my parents were still here to see the new one, but I know they'll be watching.
