That is sweet though! I wish our son had went about in that order. Actually, they were engaged and had the date for May of this year. She got pregnant in November, but kept the date for May since they didn’t find out until January. She had a little belly, but it’s ok. It’s not like he’s got a Baby Mama. Although I’m trying my best to get along with her. Really, I am. She could be worse I guess. At least she makes sure he’s in church every Sunday. That is a good thing!
Your grandbaby will be here soon, I’m sure. I don’t know how to love a grandbaby though. Doesn’t that sound crazy? On one hand I am loving her and buying everything in the book for her. I didn’t know how to love a baby until I had mine, but to love something so intensely as I hear others say, from someone else’s body. I’m sure it will all fall away once I lay eyes on her, but I am nervous to be honest. Is that wierd?
It sounds like you will be a grandma in the next few weeks. How exciting. I wouldn't worry too much about loving the baby. I think it is going to hit you like a ton of bricks.
I am very lucky that my son is marrying a girl who I hit it off with right away. I can see why my son fell in love with her. Besides being beautiful and funny and interesting, she is very easy to talk to. I am also a person who is open so potential conflicts of interest are always addressed right away. I am also a firm believer that the wife takes precedence over the family of origin and I'll bet the soon to be wife appreciates that. I am sure you and your daughter-in-law will only get closer once the baby gets here and you have the love of your son and grandchild in common.
Here is my future daughter-in-law. My son is the guy in the hat on the right. They are both very tall, dark and handsome.
