Oh my goodness does time pass at a snails pace when you are keeping (trying extremely hard) a secret. It also passes really slowly when your daughter tells you 2 days before her missed period that she is pregnant. That is going to make for a long 9 months!
With each passing day my excitement at the thought of having a grandchild grows and grows. It is very hard to see Emily so guarded, and keeping her excitement contained. I completely understand, but it pains me to see her want to get excited and being so affraid to do so. Being gun-shy makes things very difficult. I am anxious for her to get thru Sunday and see her breath a sigh of relief. I know that she is aware that nothing is for sure, but after the first experience, getting this first week under her belt will make her feel better.
It has been a week since she found out. She seems to be on tract. He bloodwork all came back in normal ranges, and things going on in her body are all lead seeming to a point to good pregnancy. Of course like life itself, things can turn on a dime. In the meantime we pray hard for an easy, complete pregnancy an a healthy baby.
I can hardly wait to "get some sugar" and stare into the eyes of my baby's baby.

Goodness, my mind is realing this morning. It has been a stressful week worrying and stressing over the idea of Emily buying a motorcycle. I hate the idea (yes hate is a strong word but totally fits the situation), but am coming to grips with it. After all, I can't change it and I have expressed my feelings (loud and clear - sorry Em).
So after making some semblance of peace with Emily and the idea ... and having good a conversation with Em, she tells me she wants to come by and give me a hug and make up. We were heading out for dinner in her direction so we said we would just come by their house. She also said she had something for me. After the week we had I figured it was something like a worry stone or a card to try to ease my mind, boy was I mistaken.
She handed me a gift bag (kinda heavy), I pulled out some tissue and underneath was a stick (took me a minute to process what it was), it was a pregnancy test stick with a positive result in the window!!! I was surprised, shocked, overwhelmed and full of joy. So happy that they were able to conceive again, and under peaceful, non-stressful, no broken bones and facing surgery circumstances! It is still very early and anything can happen, but we have a late May baby to look forward to.
She and Micah were both beaming (especially Micah) what a wonderful 31st birthday present for him. Now we pray that things stay on track, and we wait. They are going to try to wait until Thanksgiving to make the announcement to the entire family. It is going to be excruciatingly difficult not to tell, but I am going to try my darndest!
I am a very happy, hopeful Grammy G!
