five dollar shake

Tuesday, January 02, 2007

I took my daughter to her first real OB appointment last week and we came home with pictures already. She is 3 monthes along and the baby was moving around like crazy. It looked like a shrimp. Our doctor said everything seems good and healthy so far.

I have to admit, seeing the little shrimp moving around and seeing and hearing the heart beat was a bit overwhelming for me.
I am just still getting over all the shock. But I am beginning to come around. I have to. My daughter and I are very close and she is soooo not ready for any of this.

I still can’t believe I am going to be a grandmother at 37!

Wow, I think I’d be overwhelmed as well. But you’re right, your daughter is not quite ready for this but what a great mom to stand by her side. (((hugs))))

She is very lucky to have a wonderful and supportive mom like you. Heck I am 35 and I would not be ready for a baby! But then again, you end up ready for what you have to be ready for. I am glad the shrimp is healthy!

I’m glad everything is going well and that your daughter has such a great Mom!! You should be so proud of yourself. You’re supporting your daughter and without that, things could and would be so much worse. *hugs*

How old is your daughter? I was 17 when my son was born and I made my Mom a Grandma at only 38

She probably isn’t ready - but with a wonderful, supportive Mom like you, she can DO IT. I speak from experience

Congrats and good luck! I’m here if you ever want to talk.

It’s wonderful being a grandparent and you will make a good one. I can tell because you are such a good mother.

I wonder if she knows how lucky she is to have such a supportive mother. I’m sure she is terrified right now, but with love all things work out in the end. I know you are both overwhelmed.....that little shrimp is going to change your worlds. But I have a feeling it is only going to make it brighter!

Hugs!

I’m sure that once the shock wears off you will handle everything beautifully!

My father in-law used to say “We couldn’t afford to have one kid, and we had ten.”

(I married number ten, btw)

Take it one day at a time, you guys can do it.
