In just three more days I will get a peak at my grand daughter. To say I am looking forward to this would be a gross understatement! I can barely contain myself, I am walking on air!
You see, I had babies back in the old days. You didn’t know what the baby was, sort of fumbled with charts to determine your actual due date, and the baby usually went into a dresser drawer until you could afford a proper crib. (Not really, but I loved a Prairie book that told that story!)
When I had Mandy, I mostly had hand me down clothes for her and I used REAL cloth diapers. I remember several older neighbor ladies commenting on my whiter than white diapers, and me smiling with pride!
Back in the old days, you had to buy film! So my pictures of her were few and far between. I did the best I could, but when you had to buy the film and then pay to develop it, it was expensive. You know the TV show “Two Broke Girls”? well, my first husband and I were “Two Broke Kids”. I didn’t care though, because I had Mandy, and this was our little miracle!
When I was 13 years old a doctor told me I would never have kids. Endometriosis. I suffered so every month, and then…there was Mandy. I never regretted her birth, or the fact that I was just past my 18th birthday. My former husband and I just made due with what we had.
We were blessed with a very happy baby and she was easy. Thankfully, since we learned everything about a child’s care, while she grew.
Now I will go on Friday and I get to see my grand daughter moving around inside her mother’s belly! How cool is that!
Oh, I can hardly wait!!!
Way cool! A beautiful, wonderful miracle! I can hardly wait to hear all about it and see PICTURES!
I am so excited for you and for Amanda and for that precious baby! Let’s hope she cooperates so you get a good look at her and that she likes to poise for pictures. She better get used to it, I have feeling she is going to have her picture taken just a few times starting Friday.
Love YOU, Mel
