The Joy Of Being A Grandma

Filed under: Pregnancy — Tags: , , — Jennifer @ 1:56 am

I am not sure when I got old and I certainly don’t feel that way most of the time. But today I do feel a tinge of age as my beautiful daughter just told me that she is having a baby. Sure I am happy and look forward to being a grandma. She is a great young woman who has a wonderful husband.

I was just there during the summer baby monitor in hand. How did the time go by so fast and was I really that old to be a grandmother. But alas I am, and I am excited. It is going to be really cool to sit and watch my daughter go through the process. And after all I am the grandma and I get to spoil the baby right?

The months go by quickly as I watch my beautiful daughter grow up as she prepares for the new arrival of her new little one. She is excited and happy and nervous all at the same time. I totally know how she feels and assure her that every new mom feels this way.

She will know someday, like I do now, that it is just part of the process. The not knowing is stressful but you have to trust that it will be okay. It is a big responsibility to bring a life into the world and it can mess with your mind making you wonder if you are good enough.

Seven months have gone by and now we are in the final phases of preparation for the new little one to arrive. I cannot wait to see my grandchild and hold him tight. So I decided it was time to through her a wonderful baby shower, one that she could remember forever and look back on fondly. They need a lot of items for the baby and this is a great way to do that and celebrate all at the same time.

I decided to take her to go get registered for gifts, just like my mom took me. She opted for a beautiful set of crib accessories, baby bath towels and even a Graco car seat because she had done some reading on their safety. She opted for a jungle theme which I thought was very cute for her new little bundle of boy that was coming.

In the final month I watched as her husband assembled the crib and watched with fondness as I remembered the same memory in watching my husband to it for our daughter. When the time came all went well and our new little addition to family is home safe and sound and is a precious little thing that I cannot put into words how much I love.

Sitting in a rocker now at my grandson’s first Christmas I am so proud of my daughter. As he falls asleep in my arms I realize what a joy it is to be a grandmother. What a precious gift this is and I look forward to watching him grow.
