My First Grandchild

I have been a mother for so long it is hard to imagine being anything else.  My eldest child is 21 years old and my youngest child is 8.  The age difference between all of my children is dizzying.  I have the great fortune of finding out that I will be a grandmother and this Friday, I will finally get to see the little tyke at my daughter's sonogram.  Words fail to express the wonder, beauty, and joy I see in this future bundle of joy.  I know intimately what it is like to carry someone within for over 32 weeks and how much you anticipate what this person will be like once they have arrived.  As a grandmother to be, that joy is magnified by the lack of morning sickness, weird body pains, and fear that every little thing might cause miscarriage.  It is a joy!  I hope to have a picture to put up next week of my first grandchild while still in the womb!
