Good news!

How about some good news tonight?
As some of you know, I am going to have a big birthday very soon.
Yes, it ends in zero. Yes, I have come to terms with it, lol.
In fact, I celebrate it!

And now I really have something to celebrate:  my elder daughter, Anne, is going to make me a grandmother at last.


Wow! Who would believe this?
I had long since given up any hope of having a grandchild, since both my daughters are now over 40.

I've been sitting on this news for about 8 weeks, waiting for the end of Anne's first trimester. It sure was hard not to say anything. Anne's been really sick--24/7--and has lost 25 pounds in 2 months. (Luckily, at the start she was about 20 pounds over her optimum weight!)
But I hope that this month will see her "make the turn." I'm hoping to see her glowing with good health by summertime. One bonus (yay)-- she quit smoking on the day she found out she was pregnant.

This is an amazing turn of events, and this baby is already a thrill for the whole family: wanted and loved already. I'll keep you posted as to the progress.
The due date is in mid-November, a week before Anne's 44th birthday.
Wish us all luck!
