2006...

[kellyg403]

I have been sitting here for over a week, blaming the world because things have just been downright rough in my personal life this week. To make a long story short I had an unexpected, unplanned grandchild born this week. Did not even know he was coming and he would belong to us. I have cried for a week wondering what do, think and do....how it was going to be. Believe me, this is the very SHORT version of the story. But he is home now, all 6lbs 12 oz of him. And very loved. And a blessing no matter the circumstances, a blip on the radar screen. Something God gave to us when we didn't even know we needed him to. His name is Sebastion and he joins his cousin Kayla born this summer.

So, as I sit here I wonder...how many things are a blessing in disguise this year that I have worried and cried over? Last night, early this morning at 5 a.m. when I sat and held him, giving him his bottle I wondered briefly what my life would have been like had I never known about him. After 48 hours I know that I need him as much as he needs me. And I am a grandmother, starting over as a psuedo mother.

Thanks for listening...I just needed to say it out loud. He is our blessing for 2006 we never knew we were going to get!

Congratulations on your new grandson!

Thank you....other than my dh who has been 100%..everyone seems to think this is a gloomy time rather than a joyous one. Sebastion's beginning was not as joyous as it should have been...but I am hoping to make everyday after a smile. Keep us in your prayers as I wonder through the next few months with him. It is like he is my first child and I can't remember anything!

Congratulations on your grandson!!!

My sister was 18 when she had her daughter and my mom wasn't expecting to be a live in grandmother/mother either. My sister was living out of the house, got pregnant and showed up on my mom and dad's doorstep.
My mom didn't realize 6 years later my sister would have been diagnosed with leukemia and a year after that was diagnosed as having schizophrenia. My sister is now institutionalized and her daughter was a blessing that she would have someone to take care of her.

Basically, we were given a call to come to the hospital. Not knowing what the heck was going on. Right now, the mother can not take care of the baby and my Stepchild is nowhere near capable. I do know now why we are given 9 months of pregnancy before delivery.....it has been the hardest thing getting everything we need in 24 hours. He was taken to foster care for 4 days until they would let us have him. But he is here now...I don't think I have breathed for about 7 days.

Congratulations on your grandson. He sounds like he's lucky to have you all. I can't imagine getting everything ready for a baby in 24 hours, but it sounds like you all are doing okay (I hope).

With the help of friends and family we were able to get 9 months worth of stuff in about a day! And yes, we are all OK!

Take a deep breathe...and enjoy your new grandson!

hugs to you and congrats for stepping up. That baby needs you and will be a blessing as well. In the end it doesn't matter how something happened just what you do with it.

Congratulations.......what a special person you are and how lucky is Sebastion to have you! Good luck and enjoy it!

I just wanted to say congratulations. Isn't it funny how life works sometimes?

 

[Ginamarie]

Life works in mysterious ways. Your grandson is lucky to have you, and vice versa. I hope you enjoy him as much as we've enoyed our DD for the last seven months.

Love that baby with all your heart and everything will be okay!!!

This is God's gift to you and He knew you were THE person for this precious little baby. Blessings (and Pixie Dust) to all of you.

Congratulations...he's definitely a blessing in disguise!

I would do the same thing you are doing in a heart beat if it ever happens to any of my boys!
