my big announcement!

bkokc00 · **Posted:** 08 Apr 2008 10:13

Well i found out Saturday that my 18 yr old is pregnant, so i'll be a grandma around november - december. Appearently the babys dads family accuse her now of lying and saying that it's not his. It really doesn't matter, she has her whole family behind her supporting her, she lives with me, so that will be a huge change for all of us. So keep her in your prayers, she'll have to be strong and grow up in a hurry.

Ahhh Britta, my heart goes out to her AND you. I've been there....meaning, I became pregnant at 17. It does cause you to have to grow up in a hurry and sometimes can cause great bitterness.....but it can also turn out to be a huge blessing. My NOW almost 18 daughter is graduating in May and is the light of my life. She has grown into a beautiful, young woman and despite her rocky start. How wonderful for your daughter that she has you to support her and love her through it all no matter what. When I look back, I see that my mom was my greatest ally. She was always there loving me unconditionally and just helping me through things.

Don't forget enfamil a little later you will get checks and a lot of time a free can or 2 of powdered milk. Parents choice sometimes gives you free powdered milk also.

Congrats! I can't tell you how much free stuff I got just by registering at the Emfamil, Good Start, Pampers, Huggies, Similac, Baby.com and Babyzone.com websites. They all send out very good coupons as well... Especially Similac. I think I ended up with 3 or 4 diaper bags between the Dr.'s office and hospital and each came with formula and diapers in them.

Britta is there anything we can do for you and your daughter?

karen lea · **Posted:** 09 Apr 2008 22:51

Congrats Britta!!!!! It is so fun having grandbabies....spend as much time with them while they are little cause when they get older you are "just Nannie" that is what I get from my 6 year old g-son..no more hugs and kisses from him. :cry:

but I still have 3 younger ones that like to kiss me still.

went with her to her first doc appt today...they are estimating due date to be october 8th. He tried to find the heartbeat and couldn't so he did an ultrasound to see what's going on , so i got to see the first image of my grandbaby = ) He saw the heart beating, and so far all we could tell were that it had 2 arms and legs and a head, guess that's a good start = )))
She'll find out next month if its a boy or a girl.
