I posted on December 26th that my daughter and son-in-law had told us on Christmas morning that they were expecting. Well, this afternoon my oldest son and his wife showed up at our house (they drove about 1 1/2 hours) to tell us that they're also expecting. DD is due in August and DIL is due in September. We're so excited, but I'm also very nervous. DD has a very small subchorionic hemorrhage in the uterus. Doctor says MOST times these small bleeds are reabsorbed and do not pose a problem, but did not put DD on any restrictions. DIL's progesterone is a little bit lower than what her doctor likes to see and has prescribed something to hopefully increase the progesterone. They're trying to be very proactive thinking that the miscarriage she suffered last summer may have been caused by low progesterone. It's time to turn my concerns over to God, but prayers would be much appreciated. These will be my first grandchildren. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.

I do hope all goes well. Grandchildren are the greatest. I have 2, a boy and a girl, and won't have any more.

When the first one was born, I felt "in love" again. I didn't think I'd ever have that feeling again.

JSNOMORE 01-10-2011 04:08 AM

Congradulations and I'll say an extra prayer. God Bless

Sounds like your Grandbaby's doctor is keeping on top of her condition. She's in my prayers. Now, what's the first project? Quilts? Crib stuff? Clothes? Hmmm...you have decisions to make girl!

quilter in the making 01-10-2011 02:41 PM

Thank you so much to everyone who has posted and who is sending thoughts and prayers our way. I especially needed the comments from the grandmas who understand my worry as just something moms do. I try not to worry, but am not always able to turn that worry mode off. I'm one of the people who definitely trusts in God, but sometimes have trouble understanding His timing. I'm pretty much a type A and want to be in control. All I can do is turn this over to Him and trust that he is watching over us all.

For those who asked, these will be my first "birth" grandchildren. I have a stepgrandson who is 15 and love him and treat him no differently than I will the new babies. Only thing is he came into our lives when he was 11 and already beyond the cuddling and snuggling stage so I'm looking forward to that. I've already started two baby quilts. The girls will be getting identical pinwheel quilts. I've printed out some directions for burp pads and receiving blankets and am planning on doing some of those too. I think I will also do some changing pads. I will definitely be busy and loving every minute of it. Thanks again everyone!
