We are going to be grandparents here.
We are so excited. To say that I was taken by surprise would be a huge understatement.
Lindsay has had a very tumultuous almost year now at work. None of her own making, but she has had been in charge of holding an office together at the young age of 28. I have been very proud of her, but worried because she has had some major league stress on her. She had spoken of children before all this started, but quite frankly I think we have all been in survival mode over this event that happened that caused her workplace to become so stressful. It will not be resolved until the end of the summer.
With all that said, I really hadn't even considered a grandchild. I think she thought it would take her a long time to get pregnant since both Tyler's mom and me had great difficulty. Not the case apparently.
I have been soaking the news all in while also letting her have time to see the doctor and tell work people, so she is 11 weeks now.
When she and I went to Columbus, we did a little maternity clothes shopping.
I will be "Grammie" as Lindsay had already named me for her dog.
I have lots to share this week, but finding time is going to be the case. The week is lining up to be a busy one. My mama told me last week that I was too busy....that I needed to give some things up. She might be right😕 I need to get my priorities in line. I have a grandchild coming!!!
One more kid thing... I made Paul Allen and Katie color eggs yesterday.
I will be back with some stitching and some of my challenges for the Simple Organizing book.
I ordered some of the ribbon for my bluebird stitch from Brenda Gervais's sight. It came this Saturday, so hopefully I will make my pillow and I stitched this on Friday and Saturday.
I was organizing in my sewing room and saw that I had this sitting out for April. It was a quickie and now I can get rid of the magazine. It came from an old Just Cross Stitch magazine. I am just going to make it into an ornament or pillow.
Be back soon,
Sandy or Grammie
The best news in the world Sandy. it is life changing in the most wonderful way. So happy for you Grammie.

ReplyDeleteHey Gina, Don't you just love Arlene? Glad to have you.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations! A new baby to love, so wonderful. I've been away from my stitching for a few weeks, anxious to get back on track. I like 'Grammie' my daughter's grands call her 'Gammy.'

Be careful what you wish for!!!! I did my share of whining about wanting a grandbaby after my two oldest were married 8 and 6 yrs with nary a baby in sight. Well......in 2010 we got Lillian Leigh and every single yr after that we got another one. One yr we even got 2 that were 2 months apart.
ReplyDeleteThere was a time when we had 6 under the age of 6!!!! Girl....is a lot of toddlers and babies for this ol' YaYa to be chasing!!!!! Love em to death but oh, do they wear me out!!!!!
But better than cotton candy and fudge!!!
