Today I went to visit ma petite chou! She's even more beautiful than I remembered. I know it's only been a week since I saw her but it seems so much longer! As usual I was late getting there. Jennie's little sister was having her birthday party today so I didn't want to interfere with that.
When I got there Jaida was sleeping in Jennie's arms. Jennie by the way looks great. Her belly is completely gone & you would never believe she just gave birth a week ago. I held Jaida the whole time I was there. She slept like a little angel in my arms. It was so hard to leave her! I really felt like I wanted to cry.
I told them I had started this blog. When I said the title Jennie's mom laughed. She said she'd been hearing that quite a bit, how could she be a grandma? Of course she would, she's young & gorgeous with a 10 year old at home!
After our visit I went to have my taxes done. I tried doing it myself online but my return was going to be less than half of what I'd received in the past few years so I figured it was best to pay more & hopefully get a bigger return, which I did. The accountant was completely stunned to learn I had two nearly grown children. He even started talking his son up to me. I can't even imagine his reaction if I'd informed him I was now a grandmother!
Oh well. After all these years reacting to the surprise people have learning the age of my children seeing their reaction at learning I'm now a grandmother should be nothing!

Hi there.
And Congrats on both your first Grand baby and your Blog. I did take time and read what you had entered.
It sounds like you are a young Grandma. I was 41 when my daughter had our first grandchild (Madilyn).
I think that it is important to share your experiences with others. You will be suprised just how many others will be able to relate to you.
So have you put off moving to France????
Thanks for visiting my blog.

Thanks for checking me out! I am young, 38 turning 39 in April. I was hoping my children would wait a bit before having babies but now that she's here it doesn't really seem to matter. You were'nt all that much older so I'm sure you can relate a bit.
As to going to France, definitely want to, but I think I need to stay for at least 2 years. I want a bond w/Jaida so that she'll want ot come spend time w/me. I'm worried that if I leave too soon she won't even know me.
I go visit france this summer so I'll let you know if things change then!
