Good News!!

Here's a little update: After being hit with a hurricane that destroyed the coast, I needed some good news. My daughter had her ultrasound last week, even though the hospital was running on generators. IT'S A LITTLE GIRL!!!!!!!! She is due April 23rd! But I think that she will be born May 3rd.
Many years ago, after just having my fist child, I became immediately pregnant with my second one. With my mother standing in the waiting room holding my newborn baby, the nurse pulled me back into a room to tell me that my pregnancy test was positive. I was devistate. I had become pregnant with my fist child while on my honeymoon. I was not prepared for the first one, let alone a second one. I remember standing in the waiting room with my mother as the tears rolled down my face. It was then that a tradition was created and it will always be my favorite memory of my mother. She said to me, "He might keep you pregnant, but he's not going to keep you barefoot." We left the office and she took me out to buy a new pair of shoes that day. They were hot pink tennis shoes that I had been wanting. I now have the opportunity to pass that tradition on to my daughter. She is expecting her first baby in April. She too was a bit devistated by the news at first, but like all mothers, she loves that little life that she has created inside of her body. I am taking Tiffany out this weekend to buy her a new pair of shoes. I reminded her of the story last night. It's my most treasured memory of my mother. She was quite moved by the idea that a tradition was being created from it and she promised me that she too would pass the tradition on to her own daughter. Who would have thought that something as simple as a new pair of shoes could mean so much and start a tradition?

The Joyful News!

As many of you already know....my daughter found out that she was pregnant about two weeks ago. The method of birth control that they were using failed. She and her boyfriend have been together for almost four year now, but this was not quite what they had planned at this time in their lives. For the past two weeks, I did not know if my daughter was going to keep the baby or not. Her boyfriend's mother has been a real pain over the past couple of weeks. Withing 48 hours of being told about the pregnancy, his mother brought over 10 abortion clinic phone numbers and had called each and every one of these clinics to discuss what they had to offer. She continued to harass my daughter with abortion clinic numbers for almost two weeks. I personally do not support abortion. I would never wish to take that option away from another human being, but I personally could never kill my baby. Needless to say, Nick's mother and I are on opposite sides of the fence where abortion is considered. However, I assured my daughter that I would be supportive in which ever decision she made. I kept quiet about my views to my daughter for the first week and a half. Finally, I made the decision to educate her on the process of what would happen to her and the baby if she opted to abort the pregnancy. It would be a sad thing to enter into such a decision without knowing all of the facts. I did not want her to later regret the decision by finding out something that would have changed her mind after the fact. Again, I reittirated that I would stand by her in which ever decision that she made. After all, it is her body. After being given all of the facts, she thought about it for a few more days. She has been having problems with fainting and severe morning sickness, so I scheduled her an appointment with the doctor, so that she could discuss her symptoms and option. She had her appointment with the doctor yesterday. She walked into the appointment without having made her decision. The doctor did an ultra-sound to verify how far along she was. There on the screen was the baby's ever so tiny heart beating like a precious little miracle. I think she realized at that point, that her baby was not a simple little unformed blob of cells that her boyfriend's mother assured her that it was. To the contrary, that was her baby's heart beating strong. I cannot begin to explain the joy that I felt when I saw that little heart beating. There it was, my baby's baby. My first grandchild. She made the decision yesterday that she is going to keep the baby! I took her out after the appointment to lunch and then shopping. I bought her three motherhood maternity blouses and several little outfits and a couple of blankets for the baby. A precious little miracle is on it's way! She is due sometime between April 15th-22nd. I know that she's scared, but I assured her that she was going to be a great mommy! I'm gonna be a grandma! I'm gonna be a grandma! I'm gonna be a grandma! I'm gonna be a grandma! Happy! Happy! Joy! Joy! Happy! Happy! Joy! Joy! Happy! Happy! Joy! Joy! Happy! Happy! Joy! Joy!
