And so at 41, I became a grandmother. It was a tough concept to wrap my mind around. Things have just started to calm down at home. The boys were fighting less, and making less of a mess. And we were all slowly starting to have little lives outside the home. You see when you're a mom, your life tends to be consumed by your children: taking care of them, picking after them, making sure everything's OK. My kids had grown up enough for me to relax a little. And then, baby... back to Level 1.
Right from the start, I told my daughter E that I couldn't handle a baby anymore. I couldn't bear not sleeping straight through anymore. But my biggest worry was how my boys would react to everything. I knew of course, in my heart of hearts, that I was going to love this baby forever. But then, I asked myself, what if my boys didn't? What if I show the baby affection and my boys resent it?
Well, I needn't have worried. THE BOYS LOVE HER! F likes carrying her and giving her warm kisses. K can always be counted on to help E with changing the diapers and putting her to sleep. And S, he smiles at her and gives her warm hugs.
As for me, I couldn't help myself. She is adorable.
Here is Baby S at three months.
She's adorable! Looks like E! :-)
