On Tuesday, September 5, 2006 our family was notified that the family name will continue for at least one more generation. My husband is an only son as was his father and his father's father. We have two sons and two granddaughters presently. In January the third grandchild will be born and if the sonogram is correct this one is definitely a boy.
I must say that I was hoping for another little girl - this one would have had dark curly hair with blue eyes. Do not ask me where this was going to come from but I could see it so clearly. Our two granddaughters are so much fun and such little hoots - the thought of one more little girl was so appealing. Now the thought of a little boy is really growing on me - not to mention growing in my daughter-in-law. I must say that this is a true experience because our daughter-in-law is currently living with us (my son is living elsewhere - long story maybe for another time and another blog). My only daughter lives VERY far away and if I believe her she will never have children so I guess this is the closest I will get to sharing a pregnancy with a daughter (albeit it is an in-law). My other daughter in law is also geographically removed so the day to day experience was not there.
To see the steady growth of her belly and then to actually see the video of the sonogram was unbelievable. At only a little over one pound to see actual hands and feet and other body parts - WOW. Amazing.
I am thankful that we have been blessed to be able to provide a place for my daughter-in-law to be able to live and not have to worry about rent, being by herself etc. My heart goes out to her mother who is geographically removed from her daughter during this time. I guess if my daughter ever gets pregnant I will have to move if she would tell me where she is. (LOL)
Then I remember when I was pregnant. I lived about two and a half hours from my family. That was a long distance for way back then. I went through the pregnancy just fine, a little lonely but fine. It is always a little daunting to try and figure things out when you are in the midst of going through them. I think I must be rambling so I will sign off before I ramble too far.I think I will just enjoy the ride from the passenger seat on this one. I most certainly do not want to be in the trunk and miss out on this adventure.
