Family Resemblance




This is my grandchild.









This is my Grandchild's mother, 21 years ago


The resemblance is uncanny isn't it?







Lauren saw the baby bean today,

she saw the heart beating,

she saw a little arm waving at her,

she gave blood,

she fainted,

she's okay,

Baby is okay,

she's happy,

we're happy.

It's real!

Is there anything more wonderful than new life?

So exciting! Glad she's OK. Can't believe you'll be a grandma. Have you picked out your title yet? Grandma, Granny, Grammy, Nana? Their are so many options! Very important to establish the title from the beginning so Lauren can start talking to her belly about you. :)

Congrats, again. Love you!

P.S. I hear you're coming out my way! You're welcome to stay here anytime. However, Erin's B&B is starting to fill up so email me soon so I can reserve your spot. :)

New life is so amazing! Love the baby bean pictures of your grandbaby and your baby, Lauren.

I hate giving blood.

Lauren looks so cute in the picture holding pictures of her baby. It made me teary.

I think I felt my uterus twitch a little. I love the babies first pics! Even though the baby resembles a blobish, peanut, your heart melts and you are in love!

I'm so happy for the lovely couple and for the grandparents!

OH - MY- GOSH...... It's YOU!! Did you get my e-mail? After scanning a few of your posts I knew it was you... no doubt about it!!
I can't believe Laruen is prego!! I used to babysit her! She probably doesn't remember, tho. And sweet, sweet Rachel... how is she?
Holy Cow... you totally have to get in touch!!!

I hope those pictures make the morning sickness a teensy bit more worth it.

Lucky you. I'm feeling like I'm NEVER going to be okay with my babies getting bigger, but since I can't have babies forever...I'll keep remembering the grandbabies come and they're better because you don't have to gain 45 lbs to have them.
