I’ve been hugging some really big news to myself for several days now.  Just absorbing it and taking it in.  There is to be a major addition to my circle of women folk in the Spring, in the tiny person of a granddaughter.  I’m so excited that my fingers are all over the keyboard.  I cannot wait to meet and hold her.  To nuzzle her neck and inhale that wondrous baby smell, kiss her tiny toes and blow gentle raspberries on her belly.  I want to gaze at her and try and read all that magical baby wisdom that will be in her eyes.  Most of all I want to hold her over my heart and settle in for a snuggle of marathon proportions.

For now she is safe and cared for where she is.  My prayer and positive thought is aimed at a safe and swift delivery for our daughter-in-law, and the arrival of a healthy little one.  I know my son and she will be wonderful parents, and thank them for the gift they will be giving us.  My husband, man that he is, will think about the baby when she gets here.  And never admit the silly grin he’ll wear the first time he holds her !

Gotta run and go buy something pink……………
