An Amazing Day In My World
 

I have had the most amazing day...one which I hope sets the tone for a wonderful new year to come. I'd like to share...

My youngest (19) was married on December 30th. She's a happy girl. She's also pregnant. She has an appointment scheduled for the 11th and had only had home pregnancy tests (7 of them...lol...she was in shock because she was taking BC pills). Anyhow, she's had some concerning symptoms that continued on to today so we went out the the ER. I just expected a pregnancy test and exam to make sure that she was pregnant and attempt to rule out a tubal pregnancy.

They were WONDERFUL. The doctor was in there before she could change into the gown. He immediately set up an ultrasound. I had my first interaction with my first grandbaby today...I saw the little heart beating and cried when she turned up the volume and I heard the little beats at 133 per minute. They measured and said that she's 6 wks, 1 day into her pregnancy and said the due date is August 30. From there they told her that everything appeared very normal.

Until that moment, I think I'd been in a bit of shock due to the massive concern for my daughter. In that moment reality, love, amazement filled me as I saw my baby's baby and heard the life there. :) :) :)

To top off my day, my oldest called to tell me that her and her husband of 1 1/2 yrs. just signed an offer for their first little home. She sent me to the website and it's an adorable little 3 bedroom brick in a wonderful neighborhood.

Does is get any better? I just don't think so!!!

I wanted to share with my online family. :)

Y'all, we're having a baby!!! :)

How Cool
 

Awww KimmyDawn,

Thank you for sharing that. How sweet.
Isn't it the greatest thing to hear that precious heartbeat? I remember the first time I heard my first grandbabies heartbeat. There is nothing like it.
You will make a great Grandmother. :D
I hope the rest of her pregnancy goes without a hitch! :icon_wink:
And, for your other daughter buying their first home!! That's really cool!! You must be so proud of your family, as you should be. ;)
Again, thank you for sharing.
How is it up there on Cloud Nine?? :D

Congratulations Grandma Kimmy!!!

Little ones hold the world in their hands and but have a tight hold on grandma's heart strings!!!

hehehehe thank you!!!

Cloud Nine is amazing...light, bubbly...full of hope! :)

I don't know if many of you know this, but I'm raising my little nephew. He was 4 in Oct. and I've had him full time since just before his second b'day. He's the center of mine and hubby's world. I hope to make this a smooth transition for him in this situation as well!

Another cool thing about the due date is he'll be starting back to preschool just a couple of weeks after the baby is born so I can have lots of one on one without him feeling pushed aside in any way. :)

Yep, clound nine is an awesome place :)

thank you again!

KD

thank you (((((((( abasaki ))))))))))))

Yes...already!!!

KD

Awwwww ((Kimmy)), a grandma. And maybe you'll be early and get a little Leo like me!

When my daughter was pregnant (she was 28), I was on cloud 9. And people who were grandparents told me it just gets better, that I couldn't imagine. Well, they're right. You will just be in awe of that baby and struck with a new kind of love!

Congratulations on all your good news.

(((((((( doody ))))))))))) thank you so much.

I know my heart will continue to fill :)

I have a feeling that my oldest daughter will be sharing the same kind of news with me soon. :)

KD

I can just feel the happiness in your post!What an awesome day it must have been for your whole family!!!

~CONGRATULATIONS~

thank you so much (((((((( kellie )))))))))))

It is a day that i'll never forget, nor do i want to. :)

I'm going to journal tonight to remember this feeling and the thoughts. :)

That heartbeat...doesn't it just make YOUR heart go thumpa thumpa thumpa!!!

Congratulations!!

you just wait...like doody knows...that love you have ain't nothin'. :D

congrats kimmy. and littleman..he's gonna be an uncle cousin! wowza..he's gonna love being the big man.

That's wonderful Kimmy. Yesterday a gal came into Curves wearing a tee shirt that said Grandma to be...When she opened that Christmas present, that's how she found out that her daughter in law was pregnant. She was just beaming and I know you are too.

"Babies are God's way to letting us know that the world goes on."

Wow...that is so wonderful, and awesome.
 

There is nothing like a new life, to bring the awe and wonder back to us!

I am so glad you are enjoying this event this way.

It reminds me of an impending TV special on Jan 15th at midnight..on the
National Geographic Channel. You might be interested and want to watch this.
If it is anything like the other specials about animals..it will be fantastic!
I have seen ads for it on the Nat Geo channel, but a video is not on the
website for some reason. (perhaps for children and viewing control?)

I had my son late in life, so I was totally in the same frame of mind that you describe. It is miracle, plain and simple.

awwwww Kimmy....what an amazingly special thread to wake uo to this morning!! :p

The miraculous wonder of life!

What a wonderful start to your new year, KimmyDawn.
Thank you so much for sharing all the great news with us. I send lots of love to you and yours. :)

Mrs. D, I saw one of those on the Discovery Channel once and it just was unbelievable.

As it turns out, the egg is a very particular little thing and excepts only the most special visitor. :D

Jan. 15 at midnight? Guess I'll have to get the VCR warmed up. :)

my birthday is31 aug

congraulatins

correction...
 

regarding time for the show...

It was originally scheduled for 8pm that night Jan 14.

It is at 12am on the 15th, or midnight of the 14th however, you figure that
time out. And repeated during the week too.

I recorded the In the Womb Animals one..it was AMAZING! The text and narrator were both excellent as well.;)

Thank you so much everyone! I'll tell my daughter about the show, MrsD; thank you!!

My oldest called and they accepted their offer on the house. She's buying her first home. :)

I was interested why daughter hadn't had any morning sickness or even clues there yet. I looked at her and smiled and said, "Ah, six weeks. It's just that you haven't gotten there yet." ;) Of course she said, "MoOm!"

I have to remember that she's young but a full year older than I was and I was a good mother even though young. I never felt young though...I would say she feels much the same. ;)

Anyhow, thank you so much!!!

Hi there.

Thanks again, y'all. :) I love sharing the good news as well as the yuck. :)

My daughters both seem thrilled, which of course makes me thrilled. :) I'm trying to settle in and be available in my capacity.

PS-Hi there, Gerry. Weclome!

KD

(((Kimmy))) Thank you for posting that personal pic! What a beautiful family. And I love your Christmas tree. Very handsome family.

I wish for your daughter a trouble-free and happy pregnancy! Just wait...you will really not believe how your love for that baby just continues to grow. And it is so different from the joy of your own baby. I'm not just sure how, but it's amazing.

No wonder grandchildren are so spoiled. You'll see!

Thank you!!!

Hehe...ME spoil a child rotten??? ;)

Thank you, doody. I'm so looking forward to this different level of a special love. :)

KD

Great picture with Santa, too!
