My Mom will tell you herself that she is an emotional person – well, maybe she won’t. She’s a tough woman and always knows what to say to help my brothers and I see the big picture and know that everything will be okay. She’s great at listening to us cry and staying strong, at least until we get off the phone, for us.

She had all the right words yesterday, everything will be fine, it’s just a precaution, maybe the baby is just going to be small. I think what she does in terms of babies – you get what God gives you. You don’t get to pick and you don’t get to change your mind.

But at the end of the conversation when I told her the baby is a girl, that’s when she started crying.

Course, of eleven (twelve including this baby) grandkids, only two (three) are girls so I suppose that is one reason to be emotional.
