I Was Right, It's a Girl!

Well, I was right, it is a girl! I talked to my DIL today, she had a sonogram, they determined she is 5 months along, the baby is very healthy and all girl. :)

Now I am trying to figure out how I am going to get out there. I would like to be there for the delivery and spend about a month helping my DIL. It's her first, I don't know how much experience she has with babies, I think not much, though I could be entirely wrong. At any rate, when it's your first, it's good to have an experienced mom along to help with things, let you know if things are normal or not, to teach all those little (and big) things that don't necessarily come naturally. I don't want to be gone more than a month, that is as long as I could stand being away from my hubby, baby (the 4 legged one) and my life out here. I have to admit, this is one of the very few things that would make me leave here and go back to the city...

Very Special News

I just got some great news today, I found out I'm going to be a grandmother, for the first time. :) When I got the phone call today, I was speechless, I had to try really REALLY hard not to cry (in joy), I'm not like the actresses you see in the movies who can carry on a conversation while bawling, I can't talk a lick, so I controlled it and let it sink in.

My son just graduated from Army boot camp and he is training to be a combat engineer, something to do with explosives, his wife lives with my dad (their grandfather) while he is away. He should be back in plenty of time for the baby. My son wants to have a girl, my DIL wants to have a boy, I think it's going to be a girl, don't know why, I just do.

I'll post updates as I get them. Does that mean I'm officially old??? (grin) Or does that distinction go to my Dad? This will be his 5th GREAT grandchild! He could live to see great-great grandchildren, he has great grandchildren old enough to procreate, and he is in good enough health to be here for them.
