We received a very special package yesterday from our son and daughter-in-law to announce that they are going to hopefully make us Grandparents in May of next year. I opened the package and cried when I saw it. Stephanie has had to go through some fertility treatments this summer in hopes that they would be able to conceive and it looks like it worked. For as long as I've known her, she's told us all that this is her goal in life....to become a Mom. I had the same goal and it was the most important thing I wanted to accomplish with my life. I cried for her because it is a dream coming true for her and I cried for my son because he's going to be an awesome Daddy. I am so very happy for them and will continue to pray that the pregnancy goes smoothly and our new baby will be healthy. I'm still smiling today as I anticipate becoming a grandma. I've been thinking about Grandma names because I really want something cooler than just grandma. I'm thinking of Nana or MeMe or Nonnie. I think I'm liking Nana the best though. It seems to flow with my name. If Russ decides to follow the Barnhart men tradition of "pop pop" then that will sound nice together....Nana and PopPop. I'm ordering the "What to Expect When Expecting" book for Steph today and hope it will be as valuable to her as it was to me. My prayers will be constant in the next 9 months for this little one to join our family in May. I hope I can be a cool and fun nana for all my grandkids. So happy for them and looking forward to being a Nana too.
