Re: I Got the Best Christmas Present!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am SO super excited for you!!! Your DIL will be one of those who looks so cute pregnant - just tall with a little basketball belly. (I looked like a whale).

What a great Christmas surprise! When I got your text, I was almost dancing around the bathroom. You will be a fantastic grandma - and what a blessing to have them so close!

Re: I Got the Best Christmas Present!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My son is a sucker for Christmas anyway, but he was so excited about opening presents last night!

We were having a good Christmas and everyone loving the gifts, but in the end there was a HUGE box for "The Craig Family" to share. They wanted me to open it. I opened the box to find only another wrapped box. Then another, then another, then another.......in the last small box there was a note that read "sometimes the greatest gifts come in small sizes!!!!"

I looked at my dil and asked, "are you pregnant"................she said YES!!!!!

OMW - - - I let out a scream and actually stripped my throat - - my daughter started jumping up and down and hugs were everywhere!!!!

I cannot believe that my son actually kept it a secret for a month...............he can NEVER keep a secret!

They had told her parents the night before, so we got to watch the video of them finding out and it was so fun!

Of course, our video could probably win something on FV's - -

I'm still just floating on air!!!! What fun!!! How blessed!!!!

Just praying now for the blessed pregnancy and healthy baby!

Do me a favor and don't say anything about it on Facebook - - they want to spread the word first!!!

BUT...I HAD to tell you guys!
Congrats, Renda!!

Did you shake the gift first to see what it was?? (Wrote this before reading about the huge box!!)

So true, I just had MY first grandchild, a little princess at Thanksgiving time
she was born 11-23., and I just recently found out my other son will be
having a child as well, but not for quite a while, they're only like 6wks pregnant. I had never expected to even BECOME a grandma in my lifetime on earth., sooo, GODs plans are often surprises. There's a reason for it all.
