I am so honored to have son-in-laws that are willing to share their wives' pregnancies and births with me. I try to stay in the background of things and not be in what will be their memories. Today I went to an ultrasound of the next grandchild in the lineup, which we found out two weeks ago is a girl. Ultrasounds have come a long way, let me tell you.
When I had babies back in the 70's you got to hear the heartbeat, but that was it. Now you get 3-D images of the face at 22 weeks that are clear enough to see who the baby resembles. In this case, she looks like her mom. Amazing.
Kat is now past the sick stage and has lots of energy and feels great. She glows, as does the proud father, Sean. He and Kat have one daughter together, plus she has two from a previous relationship, and Sean is a superhero father in my opinion. I wish I could have had a father like him growing up. He just loves his "girls".
We are quite sure that this will be the last grandchild. Ten is a good number. I hope they all go forth and multiply and give us lots of great-grandchildren to enjoy.
Thank you God, for our children, their spouses and grandchildren. We are truly blessed.
