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!!!

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.
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??

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!

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.
