I am so excited because my favorite niece called me first thing this morning to tell me she is pregnant. She's young, only 20 and not married. But her boyfriend seems really supportive. And while we would all like for her to be married, it's kind of a miracle that she even conceived. Endometriosis runs in both sides of her family and she's had symptoms for years. This might be her only chance to have a baby.
I was the first one she told. I'm so special. That was even before tell her parents. Only her boyfriend knew before me. That's because I just accept her like she is and she has grown up quite a bit in the last couple of years. I am thrilled to have another great niece. I have others that are full grown. My older brother married an older woman with children. He's only a couple of years older than me, but has been a grandpa and is a great grandpa for several years now. He's only 51. They do things young back in New Mexico. I was an old maid at 21 and had my first kid at 23. All my younger cousins had babies at least a couple of years before I did.
But a new baby. I know she's going to be a great mom. She is a loving, compassionate person. We've always been really close. She used to call me the angel on the other end of the phone when she was little. She also confides her deepest, darkest stories with me, some of them extremely important. So, she's like another daughter to me.
YAY congratulations on a new baby in the family. Glad to hear some good news!
Oh Deanna,
I'm so happy for you! As you know, I'm expecting my first grandbaby, a boy, any day now. And while the circumstances aren't ideal either ,(my son isn't married), there is a lot of love for this new life to be.
It's wonderful that your niece has you in her life. It's clear that she knows what a great person you are and that you have much wisdom and compassion to share. I'm sending out many prayers and good thoughts and HUGS for all of you!!Yea, I too will be grandma for the first time. Deanna, We can all see why your neice came to you with the information. You are so caring and understanding.
I just talked to my niece again this morning. I had to. I blabbed her big secret because I was so excited. I told my mom, who will tell her dad. But I know she was dreading telling them because they have such a history of being so judgemental, especially with her. I don't usually tell anything my niece says but I so think this is wonderful news. And my mom was excited. She does love babies.
So they are primed and ready and my niece was really happy about that because she was dreading telling them. And, I even got help locate a pregnancy counseling service. I wish she didn't live so far away so that I could be a part of this experience.
Congrats! I hope your niece realizes what a precious gift a child is.
Aww where does she live? Am I close? You know I'd check up on her for you if I could :)
I'm so happy for you!!!!!!!!!! Yay!!
