Exciting News Here On Our Funny Farm

-

 Hello! How is your day going? Mine is good! I have some very exciting news to share with all of my friends here in Blog Land. Coming July 2023, our family is expanding as we will be grandparents again! My oldest daughter and her husband are expecting! 

She chose a fun way to share her secret with us and I have to share it with my friends here. 



A few weeks ago, she asked us to meet them for dinner and after we had eaten our meal, we were presented with a box to open. This is what I seen when I opened the box. A Grandma and Grandpa Start Over Kit. I was excited and shocked. I love this idea as now I have a few things ready for the new bundle of joy! 


Being that they struggled on having a child due to a previous situation that her husband had occur, I was thrilled that they finally had conceived a child she wanted desperately. I worry due to her Lyme Disease and another health issue she has, but now that the pregnancy is almost to the first trimester being finished, my worries are less and I am happily looking forward to shopping for this new little bundle of joy.


As most of you know, my other two grands have been a bit of  a surprise at birth and so to prepare for one the way most get to is exciting all in it's own. I am praying for a grandson,  but will love a granddaughter just as much. Grandpa would like a grandson as well. I just want him or her to be healthy and ready to tackle this crazy world we live in. Boy or girl doesn't really matter as much as we seem to think it does. I was actually able to go to her last doctors' appointment and hear the heartbeat with her and see the first wave that the baby seemed to do. Never have got to hear the heartbeat of a new grandbaby before birth and that sure does put things into a whole new perspective as you know that your child is carrying another life within her. 


I have babbled enough about this little one. Just be prepared for many more excited grandparents posts as we begin to shop and enjoy the precious moments of this pregnancy. If you pray, please pray for an uncomplicated pregnancy and birth and a healthy baby!

I read this as part of a challenge to read classical books and this month was to reread a classic. As a child and a teen, I loved the Boxcar Children series written by Gertrude Chandler Warner and could not wait to read this book again. I decided to start with the first book in the series and I will read the entire series again this month as long as time allows. The Boxcar Children is about a group of 4 orphans that are siblings.

 Good Monday morning ladies, how are you? It is super cold here, but I am thankful for our wood stove and plenty of good heat. I am joining Sandra over at  Diary of a Stay At Home Mom  for the Happy Homemaker Monday link up party. She is so kind to host this weekly and there are many of us bloggers that enjoy this weekly post.  The Weather: Cold, snowy, below zero wind chills and temperatures of a night. I believe our high for the day is to be 7 degrees F. BRR!!!!!! I hate winter when it is like this. I don't mind cold, but I don't like Artic cold. I am not a fan of the ice that occurs when we have temperatures like this.  Right Now, I Am: Sitting at my desk drinking coffee. As I look out the window, I see a bit of snow and maybe a bit of a sunrise. It is about -18 degrees with the windchill and so it looks cold! I am listening to the news that my husband left on when he went out. It is not something I care to do, but I just haven't gotten up yet, to change...
