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!
Hey friends--you should be able to enter comment now. I had made a little goof. Sorry about that. Would someone please try posting a comment to see if i solved the problem?
