There was a period in my life, many years ago, when I didn’t think I could ever be a grandmother. I’m not sure why, but I had this very strange feeling that I would either never have grandchildren, or not live long enough to see them born. Given that history, I am very blessed to have seven grandchildren. I’ve lived long enough, and both of our children have children of their own. It’s a wonderful thing to be called “Nana.”
I realized I never updated my blog on Baby Olivia. She was born over two months early, and they projected her discharge date to be her due date, which is also my birthday (September 9th). She was born on June 30. I already blogged about it, if you want to go back and read.
I am so happy to report Olivia not only exceeded all of our expectations, she met and exceeded the milestones they set for her in the NICU. ❤️❤️ She ended up getting discharged early. I got to watch her and her siblings for a couple of days while mommy was recovering from her tubal surgery. It was easier than I thought it would be, but let me just say that watching three children is definitely for the young. And not just the young at heart 😂😂.
It’s hard to believe she’s almost four months old. One might expect her to be behind, but she is actually ahead of schedule. 🤩🤩 She’s already an overachiever. She rolled over from back to front at 3 months 2 days. She is a little miracle, and we are so happy she is doing so well.
We are still traveling on our Airstream trip, but when we get home I can’t wait to hold her and her siblings again. Happy Grandparents Day!
Holding Baby Olivia. Mikayla loves to look at the camera and make loud noises 😂🤪😂🤪. Olivia doesn’t seem to mind.
Jaxson is smack in the middle of two girls. Good thing he has Daddy! They are super close. He’s enjoying his banana before he takes a nap.
Hannah and Alison on the last day I was helping out. They are helping Mommy make tea. Mikayla wants to help. She loves mimicking her big sisters!
Those are Bryan’s five children. Elizabeth has two. I’ll share some pictures of them after our trip is over. What do your grandchildren call you? Leave a comment below. If you are asked to sign in, you only have to do this once. I promise I’ll never share your email address. It’s just to make sure you are a real human.
À la prochaine…hasta la próxima vez…until next time!
