From Christmas - my mom finding out she's going to be a Great Grandma!

Awww, nice family photo showing the baby bump. 

What a special time for all of you!!  Such a cute picture!

Thanks ladies!  Yes, my mom is very excited to become a great grandma, almost as excited as I am to become a grandma!

Happy Valentine's Day to you great Navy Moms. 

Happy Thursday!

Wearing my RED this Friday!

Happy Monday!

DIL is officially at 30 weeks now (as of this past Saturday) and we head out on Thursday to MI for the baby shower!  I can't wait to see them and celebrate little Oli!

I just wish the weather would warm up a little bit lol!

B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN, have fun.... safe travels too. 

Thank you Tammy Girl!  I'm so excited I can hardly wait!

Then next step will be the birth!!  Safe travels and enjoy!!

mariecb - yes!  Can't wait for May to get here too ;-D

Happy Thursday!  The baby shower was a huge success!  Little Oli got so many nice things - they are now ready for him to arrive.  We had such a good time - C and I got the whole room organized, all the baby clothes washed and put away, the many, many books (you can really never have too many books lol!) on his book shelf.  Closet organizer put together, bins for drawers, so much fun stuff!  He's due in May and our plan is hopefully to go back sometime in June.  That will give B&C a few weeks to settle in and bond with him first.  It snowed a bit each morning - looked beautiful and would melt by mid afternoon.  I handled the cold weather quite well - although we didn't venture out much lol!  Now I'm just trying to get caught up on everything here at work.....ugh!

How FUN!!  So happy for all of you!

Happy Friday!  I've got my RED on.

17 days until the due date for our grandson!  I can hardly contain myself!  Doctor thinks he's already over 8 lbs and says if he continues growing at the rate he is they may have to schedule a c-section.  Of course this worries B&C a bit but I remind them that we just want to make sure she has a safe delivery.  Everything has been going so great in her pregnancy thus far and this is just sort of throwing a wrench in their plans.  I know everything will work out in the end. Prayers are appreciated.....

Thanks for the update B'sNukeMoM!  So excited for all of you!  Will be sending prayers and positive energy.  I'm looking forward to pictures!!  NMH's!

Look how cute this is!  A fellow Navy mom crocheted this for baby Oliver!!!  I love it ;-D  Go Pack Go!

 I’ve been keeping up with your posts!  6 days until our sailor and wife’s baby boy is due!  We have 8 grand daughters and two great grand daughters so we super excited!  He also re-enlisted again and has been selected to the Ike!  They will be deploying later this year so my son is sad he will miss a lot of Cameron’s first year.  But it is what it is. Like I told him there are many in his shoes.   They are hoping the baby comes this weekend because my other son has a work conference in the area and will be in the area.  He and his wife are also expecting a baby boy in August!  Oh! And I forgot to mention Jacob nearly passed out during one of the birthing classes. Lol.  
   

I LOVE being a granny. How exciting for those with multiple grandchildren! My daughter (not Navy) has one daughter and I'm trying to wait patiently for another....Pictures of the new baby might tide me over :)

So happy for all of you with grandchildren and those on the way!  I am 61 years old and not sure I will be a biological grandma but plan to volunteer with children soon like a foster grandma!!

mariecb, what a wonderful idea... to be a foster grandma.  When my mom retired from teaching she read to children at the local library.  She had one granddaughter, but she was out of state and my mom just loved being around children.

Thanks TammyGirl!

Jacob94mom - 6 days - wow!!!!!  And the first boy - bet he'll be spoiled lol!  I'm just happy to be getting my first finally!  

mariecb - I'm 61 too and just now getting my first!  But I love the idea of volunteering with children - I've often thought I would love to be able to be one of the "baby rockers" at the hospital.  I might still consider that once I finally cut back on work....
