Aw Mum is being SOOO cute!
It's so cute - my Mum is getting VERY excited about meeting her first grand child! Of course, she's had a LONG wait - she had me (her first child) at 30 and I'm having my first at nearly 36. And seeing as she is the most child-loving person I know, I knew that when I told her about baby she'd be over the moon.
Funnily enough she has been VERY interested - but not actually excited - up till now. She told me recently that she doesn't think it has REALLY sunk in yet, even though I took her to one of my ultrasounds.
But now - it's so funny - she's convinced I will be a little early (she's betting on Feb 11) and she's starting to get all protective and mother-hen with me. She called me other day to say she will ALWAYS have her mobile phone on and with her if she's not at home... she's had a mobile for years, but rarely uses it. And if she gets a missed call she'll call to see if it was me. We talk every day, been seeing each other at least once a week. It's lovely to have her so involved and I know she will be the best grandmother in the whole world - I mean, she was the best grandmother I know of to my stepson Jaidyn, so when it's her own grandchild... I think my boy is going to be VERY spoiled!
It's great that she'll be here for the birth too, as she has delivered hundreds of babies, albeit 30 to 40 years ago in the 70's/80's but those midwife instincts don't leave you - and she'll be good support to me. I just hope she doesn't get worried - a couple of times lately she seems concerned about the minimal medical care I am receiving because of the home birth, but I keep re-assuring her that everything is fine and that she needs to trust me and my instincts. Hard for her!
But it's lovely to have Mum involved every step of the way and I know that my son will be a much better person for having her in his life. Thanks Mum - I love you! :)
