Life continues to grow

About 2 months ago we were informed by our oldest daughter that she is expecting a baby with her boyfriend.   It came as a shock to all of us but I thank God that she chose to keep the baby and to continue on with the pregnancy.   I know that life will be a challenge as it always is with a new baby to take care of but this will teach us all lessons of patience and acceptance even when we don't want it.   I truly believe that everything happens for a reason we just don't know it until many years later.    She is now beginning her 2nd trimester and is anxious for the day when her belly won't look 'fat' to the world but actually pregnant.   I enjoy spending time with her when she is not at work or with her boyfriend and when I am not working or sleeping.    She has a really sweet personality and loves to laugh out loud.   What a great beginning for a wonderful life.    There will be many obstacles ahead for her but as we listen to each other and accept the choices that we make in life everyday then I know that this child will be much loved and enjoyed by all the people in it's path.
I have to say that when she found out what her blood type was she wasn't too happy with me,  b/c she is rH negative which means she has to get one shot before birth and possibly a second one after the baby is born.  Ahh,  the events of pregnancy.
Next post will be about my second daughter who is about to finish up her college undergraduate schooling.  What a busy life we lead.
