How wonderful!!!! Congratulations.

Congratulations and healthy & happy 9 months to the mama to be!! My parents assure me that being a grandparent is infinitely more fun than being a parent.....

Wish I could take the rest of the day off, however, I'm the BSA Officer

It's due in July and parents are soooo excited! My daughter has been under the care of a fertility specialist for about 2 years and it finally happened! I must be honest, I was relieved when I found out there is only one and not a "litter"!

Have a great time stocking up for #1. What terrific news to end the week on. Welcome to the club!

Great News!! I have a friend who has been going to fertility doctors for about that long and she just found out Monday that she's expecting...possibly multiple births!!!!

Take it from someone who knows, there is absolutly no way to describe the feeling you have when you first hold that baby. It is even more powerful than when you hold your own baby for the first time. I guess that is because your baby had the baby.

I just got this in an e-mail this past week!


Before I was a Mom - I slept as late as I wanted and never worried about how late I got into bed. I brushed my hair and my teeth everyday.

Before I was a Mom - I cleaned my house each day. I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom - I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Spit on. Chewed on. Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom - I never held down a screaming child So that doctors could do tests or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom - I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom - I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and
happy.

Before I was a Mom - I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom.

And before I was a Grandma, I didn't know that all those "Mom" feelings more than doubled when you see that little bundle being held by 'your' baby...
