30 Days of Thankful- Day #4

Day #4- I am Thankful for Brookelyn & Carter

When I found out I was going to be a MeMe at age 37, I had mixed feelings. I was VERY excited for Corey & Anna and really excited about having a new baby (especially a little girl) in the family. However, being a MeMe made me feel old.  I was opening a new chapter in this book called life and I wasn't sure if I was ready. I didn't like the thought of getting old ,because I still feel so young. I wondered how I would feel with a kid calling me MeMe all the time.
Well, that grand day arrived. I was there to watch my little Princess come into the world. It was a moment filled with emotions. I had never been in the room when a child was born,so I had no idea exactly what to expect.  I had been present at the hospital when my niece Jessie was born and when my niece Bailey arrived, but I wasn't in the room. I appreciated the fact that my sister-in-laws included me when their girls arrived, after all, I've never had a sister to share those kinds of moments with. It was special to me. I will never forget holding my nieces for the very  first time. But this birth was different. Being there for Brookelyn's birth was more than I imagined. The moment I looked at that tiny miracle, my heart overflowed with love so much that my eyes spewed (tears)...lol It was HAPPY tears. I was the PROUDEST MeMe ever and I still am.
I have loved being a MeMe more than I ever imagined. Hearing my baby girl call me MeMe is like music to my ears. Now, God has given me two precious GRANDangels. A little Princess and a little Peanut. A baby girl and a baby boy. How perfect is that? One of each. I am soooooo blessed to have two wonderful GRANDbabies to share my love with and being a young grandmother means I can do more than just rock them in a chair. I can still play and keep up with them...lol

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart;and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him,and he will direct thy paths. ~Proverbs 3:5-6
