Would she make a cool grammy or what?

So today (at least I hope today) my mother and her husband should be receiving a package in the mail informing them that they will soon be grandparents. I am so excited. It has felt like the night before Christmas all weekend, waiting to see if our parents got the packages. John's parents, who live just a little bit closer than mine do, received their package on Saturday afternoon. His mom opened it up when it arrived, saw the book, read a little bit of it, and thought, "How nice that John would send us a grandparenting book." It wasn't until later that night that it dawned on her that we might be trying to tell her something. So she called. It was great listening to John talk about the baby, the things we have been through so far, seeing its heart beat and how real that made it for both of us.

So tonight I will be waiting for phone calls from my parents, and it makes my heart beat fast just thinking about it. Our child will be so lucky to have such great grandparents, all around. I am especially excited for my mom, who has been talking about wanting grandkids since I was a kid myself. When I spoke with John's mother on Saturday night, she said, "Your mom is just going to be over the moon!" and I couldn't help but smile and agree.

I have wanted to tell my mom so badly since the moment that I found out I was pregnant, exactly a month ago today. But I am glad that she gets to find out in this special way. She is going to be an awesome grammy. And it is going to be so fun to share all of this with her!
