My (adopted) son and his fiancé are 20 weeks pregnant and needed a ride to OB for anatomy scan. They came out hand in hand and were snuggled close with their secret all the way home in the van. They want to do a gender reveal gift to her mom and I at Christmas which is just fine. It warmed my heart to see how happy they were. I admit I had a few tears on the way home because I never got that far and never will. I can't wait to be a grandma....LOL....either by accident or on purpose to throw us off they slipped a few "her" pronouns when talking about the baby on the way home...

    TheOtherLovingMoms--congratulations on Sariah. That is wonderful. My son and fiancé don't have much but I have an embarrassing amt. of baby things to give them. After Christmas I am helping them get their nursery in order. I am glad they are including me and allowing me to share their joy.

    I am shocked my son has been able to keep the gender a secret so long....but I get a gender reveal Christmas present in 2 days and I am so excited. We are going to start on their nursery after Christmas. I have added 2 teen girls to our home in November and their sister is coming today..so it's been crazy around here. Due date is April 7 for my grandchild...it will be here before we know it.

    Third child arrived Sat. AM...so far so good. My son and fiancé gave me a shiny "pink" ornament. So...we are expecting a little girl in April. I am very excited...and honestly a little sad too...there will always be that sense of loss after years of losing battle to have my own. Nothing to do but move on.
