Mom I'm Pregnant

My daughter, bless her heart, she has my sense of humor.  She told me she was pregnant when she was 5 months along.  She waited until her first ultrasound showing the sex of the babes, put the pictures in a baby photo album and handed it to me.  I didn't get it at first, thought she was showing me someone else's pictures.  'Mom, look at the name on top' she said.  That didn't sink in right away either.  I'm not as quick as I used to be.  But the reality finally sank in and now I'm going to be a Gramma at Christmas.  I hope her labor isn't as long as mine was with her.  She probably won't like it.

Shopping for Baby

My daughter registered for her baby at Babies R Us.  Wow, I can't believe all the cutesy little doodads they have come up with.  The Diaper Genie is kind of confusing to me.  I think she told me you put the disposable diaper in it, and then it spins all the wet out of it.  Then it puts the diaper in a little bag ready for the garbage.  Back in the day we just threw them in the garbage and they are still sitting in a landfill someplace 30 years later.  Another thing is now there are hundreds of car seats to choose from, I had just one.  If you add up the cost of all the cool things that babies need (or Mama wants), it didn't cost that much to have my children.  The OB and hospital bills combined.  But that's okay, I want her life as a new mom to be a wonderful experience.
