So the big news of the year.... I'm going to be a grandma!!! A friend told me don't say "I'm going to be" because I already am! Yes, that is true! There's a new life growing right at this moment.I can't believe my daughter and her hubby are going to have their own little sweetie pie. It's a surreal feeling. Your kids having their own kids. I'm really happy and excited for them!
I just want to spill out everything I think and know and have learned. But that wouldn't really be helpful. They will learn and grow into their own. I'm sure they will do things differently than we did. (Thankfully!) I'm sure I'll disagree with things and wish things were done differently. But they will probably do some things similar too. Either way, I need to be OK with it.
I'm looking forward to this new role. I'm excited to be a grandma! I'm wondering how do I be an influence, show love, and be involved without being "the mom". I guess it's probably a lot like I'm doing now with my adult children. I stay involved, text, send presents, ask questions, show them I'm there if they need anything, keep the lines of communication open.
It's an exciting new chapter!
Grandkids!
I really feel too young for this to be happening!
But I'm just thrilled to see my kids raising their own kids.
Doing the happy dance!!
Any advice for this new grandma? Comment below!
