Thing 1 called me late last week with some pretty spectacular news.
Her baby is a GIRL!
Y’all I will readily admit to squealing with joy!
And I mean squealing!
I’m over here like Kay Thompson, singing, ‘Think pink when you shop for summer clothes!’
But, I’m respectful of my daughter’s choice to not inundate her child with gender specific colors. Honestly, I don’t give a damn what color she decides to love.
However, I’ll see to it she has some baby-size pink Chucks for sure!
Interestingly enough, we had a conversation earlier that week in which she shared the girl name they settled upon.
I’m already working on her monogram.
Off the cuff, YBW referred to her as Baby K and I knew it would be her name here in my nest.
Baby K is at her halfway point as of Christmas Eve.
She’s expected the second week of May. Just in time for my birthday.
Now, I’m sure if you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, you know that I am all about my birthday. But perhaps I could share that day with my first grandbaby…
My birthday is Mother’s Day this year. What a treat it would be for me to share a birthday with my first granddaughter, and for Thing 1 to become a mommy on Mother’s Day!
Stay tuned, y’all!
Thing 1 sent sono-pics of Baby K.
I think she looks a bit like baby Groot in this one.

That is incredibly exciting news!!! And K? Seriously, the best and most powerful letter of the alphabet. 🙂
Am! So! Freaking! Excited!
There is no better feeling than holding your first grandbaby no matter the gender but I got to admit I thought a girl wpuldvhave been wonderful. Now that my 2 grandsons are 4 and 8 I see that the universe had a better plan for me and I wouldn’t give them up for anything. Congratulations and what a wonderful year to look forward to!
Thank you!
I realized that I’ve been waiting to be a grandmother as long as I’ve been a mom!
My baby having a baby is next level!
A grandson would have been lovely, but girls are my wheelhouse so I’m pleased to get what I know.
And the monograms!!
I have always believed that grandchildren are a gift from the universe for letting our children live … you remember those pubescent years? And their friends? And the plans that didn’t happen? Well, enjoy this. You’ve earned it. Grandchildren are absolutely too wonderful and perfect.
Amen to that!
And here I wait with breath that is baited…
❤ Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice,
that's what little girls are made of…….. ❤
Ok. I’m a may baby and there is no better time to be born! Congrats!!!
May babies are the best babies!!
