As a mother you are always thinking and Imagining and remembering how it was when you held your first child in your arms. The amount of love that just fills you up as you carry that child to the point that they lay them in your arms. You however don't stop long enough to think about how you will feel when that same child is carrying her first child. That excitement and love is so intensified. Everyone has asked me "how does it feel to be a grandma?" my answer, just like being a mom times 10.
Dear Graysen,
How excited we were for you to come into our family. Your mommy and daddy waited a long time for you. They planned for you, and dreamed of you and waited until it was your time to come to earth. Your sweet mommy had a rough time carrying you, But never complained as she carried her little I.V pack around so that you and her could stay healthy, she just smiled and at times we even wondered if she was just playing dress up. She always looked like a little girl just playing house. We all loved going and getting a little peeks in mommies belly and finding out you were a sweet little boy. Then there was so much planning to do.
Finally, dad calls and said mom is a little uncomfortable. Heading for the hospital. Papa and I could not get to the hospital fast enough. We thought by the time we got there that you would be here. Unfortunately for mom, you decided to stop and rest. But as easy going as your mom is we should not have been surprised. But at least we knew you were on your way. Mom and Dad needed to rest for their big job ahead so we went home and waited for the phone call that you were ready to be born. The call came early and again could not get to the hospital fast enough. Mom was a little tired and Dad was a little anxious your daddy did not like watching mommy be uncomfortable. It was hard for him to not be able to fix it. But he did stay close and supportive. Once the doctor helped mommy get a little more comfortable. That's when the fun really started. Mommy kept laughing with her stresses of her uncomfortable body functions. The nurses did their best to erasure her that there was nothing to be worried bout. But your mommy was so worried that she kept your daddy and I laughing right up until the nurse called for the doctor. Your mommy still continued to worry so much that she "tooted" right when the doctor sat down. Daddy and I tried to keep a straight face, but we just could not stop laughing. The doctor got right down to business helping mommy deliver you. Mommy once again looked and acted like a little girl playing house. Finally we could see the top of your little head. A little more coaxing and we saw your whole head covered with allot of dark hair. Suddenly the look on the doctors face was a little more serious. The umbilical cord had wrapped around your tiny neck. He quickly delivered you and unwrapped the cord. He handed you quickly to the nurses and to check you out. You were perfect. Every little tiny finger and tiny toes. You did not seem real. You looked like a tiny doll that you could play dress up with. Daddy just sat and looked at you. His little man, mommus little angel. They waited so long for you, and so much love to give you. Everyone was called and it was a race to get to the hospital. Papa got there with Aunt Emileigh and Uncle Ethan. Uncle Ethan was sick so he had to wait outside. Daddy held you up in the window so he could get a good look at you. Aunt Bobby was sick to and couldn't see you for a couple of days. She saved up a good hug and kiss for you when she felt better. All in all we are so blessed to have you here with us and cannot wait to see you grow.
