Today marked another milestone in my sweet baby girl's dreams coming true. It's a boy! Jessica and John are going to have a sweet baby boy. At 14 weeks it is early to know, but they had the Panoramic genetic test done and everything came back perfect. Jess told me a week ago it was a boy. A momma just knows.
Obviously, I cried when I found out. Nothing brings tears to my eyes quicker these days then thoughts of my grandbaby. Knowing the gender just clicks everything into a bit sharper focus. I can picture him more clearly now. I can almost smell that intoxicating baby smell. I can't wait to kiss his feet. I'm madly in love already.
Now that I'm pledging into the Nana Gigi Grandma Sorority, I have a whole new insight into the women I know who are grandmas. Wow. How do you ever utter a sentence that is not about your grandbaby? This is going to be a thrill! I wonder if GrandMummy blogs will be the new thing. I'll try to refrain, although it will be difficult.
In other, much less important news, we are packing for another adventure. I'm packing bright colors and dangly earrings, flip flops and maxi-dresses and even a swimsuit. Goodbye, London! We're off to a Red Sea resort in Hurghada, Eygypt. But, it won't be just lazing about in the sun, although mostly. We're taking an excursion to Cairo and Luxor. I'm actually going to see the great pyramids. Pinch me.
I'm a bit giddy today, I must admit. So with thoughts of babies and beaches rolling around in my head, I'm going to share a few more photos from our day in the Kew Gardens. If you have a camera, run don't walk to Kew Gardens. It's a feast for the lens.
These are some of my favorite photos from that day, because green is my favorite color. Although I say that about all the photos I've edited from that day. Oh, there are more.
I hope to be instagraming from Egypt if you like to follow along. And a huge thank you to everyone who's sent such sweet words and thoughts about the new addition to our family. We're obviously over the moon already.
What's got you over the moon lately?
First of all congratulations! You must feel so happy! And yes would be brilliant to start a generation of granny bloggers :)
ReplyDeleteI live next door to Kew Gardens but I've only been once. I'm waiting for the blossoms so I can photograph the flowers this time. It's such a beautiful place. Also live the isabella plantation in Richmond Park.
Love your photos
Enjoy your break! Although it's so lovely right now in London :)
Yay!! Baby boy!! Are they already coming up with names? Seeing as we won't be having any more of our own, I can completely understand your excitement about becoming a grandma. I dream of the day I'll be able to cuddle a baby again! Although, I do hope Lexie waits longer than I did to make my mother a grandma. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations :)
ReplyDeleteLove the Kew Garden's photos, I've not been there in years - I really need to fix that.
Enjoy your trip to the pyramids!
So many congratulations!!!

ReplyDeleteAm Karen Tanya from Scotland. I was having serious relationship problems with my boyfriend and it had resulted in him moving out to his friend’s apartment. Everything got worse because he started going to bars and strip clubs frequently with his friend, getting drunk and passing out. He always threatens me on phone whenever I call him because of all the bad advises that his friend has given him. I really love him and we had been dating for 8 years which gave us a beautiful daughter. I had also lost a lot of money on therapists until I was introduced to Dr. ogboni by a friend whom he helped to marry her childhood boyfriend; this gave me total confidence and strength to get him back. I did all he asked and after 48 hours my boyfriend called me and rushed back home, things just changed between us emotionally. He has a job and stopped drinking and keeping irrelevant friends. It’s a miracle I never believed was possible because I had lost all hope until I found Dr.ogboni . So that’s why I promised to share my testimony all over the universe. All thanks goes to Dr.ogboni for the excessive work that he has done for me. Below is the email address in situation you are undergoing a heart break, and I assure you that as he has done mine for me, he will definitely help you too. ogbonispelitemple@hotmail.com
