Unexpected

I am going to be a Grandmother. When I look in the mirror, I don't look like a grandma! My parents were actually younger than I am when they became grandparents for the first time.

Our son is going to be a daddy. We believe that all children are a gift from the Lord and that He makes no mistakes. The Lord has a purpose for this baby and for his mommy and daddy.


Psalm 139:16 - Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.

Psalm 127:3 - Lo, children are a heritage from the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is His reward.

Hey, I'm going to be a Grandma! I'd better get knitting!

  5. An innocent babe, welcoming by loving hearts and arms. So very precious and I'm so very touched to learn this news and how excited you are. :o)

    Bless you dearly as you all prepare for the birth of this sweet wee one.

  6. Thank you all for your kind words of congratulations. All this does bring conflicting emotions because of the circumstances. However we are looking forward with joy to the birth of this baby.

    Kaitlin, I think that you and the baby will be first cousins, once removed since you and Nate are first cousins. I believe that is what Cayden is to my kids.

    I bought beautiful yarn last night and started a blanket!

  8. Are you going to knit the baby some soft sweet little hats too? Ethan looks so cute in the ones you made for him. I'm going to keep them and treasure them forever. =)

  10. You show such love, an unconditional love, to your children. I can only pray for that as I raise Cayden and other children that God blesses us with. You have Grace and poise in your mothering and I have watched you through the years display a true mothers love of having open arms. God will bless you for it and your reward will be great! As a new mom and even before I was a mom, I watch and observe and take in things that other moms do or have done, taking things I want to be and dont want to be, and I will say that the unconditional love that you display, that I have watched, is something I want to be and to have.

  11. Alicia,

    Thank you sweetheart for those precious words...I am sitting here with tears because of how blessed I am by what you have said.

    Thank you dearly. When I see you in a few weeks I am going to hug you big time! Maybe we can have lunch together!

  14. You are a wonderful mother. I have learned much from watching you. Maybe I need to have another baby so I can teach what I have learned. No Wait. That was a senior moment. Ha Ha Seriously this baby will be loved and cared for and cuddled as the gift from the Lord that it is. I better put away the hat I have been knitting for months now and start something for the baby. How many months do I have to work on it? Love you.

    Mom
