Our oldest girl is having a baby! I seriously don’t know if Tommy and I could be any happier for Sam and Alyssa or ourselves. They married in March 2021 at the very end of the pandemic. Even planning a wedding during that difficult time Alyssa rarely complained. Sam and Alyssa did everything themselves, Tommy and I stood back, close enough to let them know we were there but far enough that we weren’t intruding. They had an awesome wedding and I’m thrilled to see them grow as a family on their own time.
They have been sharing many milestones of the pregnancy with their family. It makes me so happy and proud that they want all of us “in”. That after all the specialists, hospital admissions, med trials and even more difficult decisions and we had to make concerning Thomas, our family remained close and intact. My girls call Tommy and I for advice. We talk about almost everything. And that’s ok. I never tell my kids, nope TMI, I can’t hear this. As far as I’m concerned there is no TMI.
Anyway, we all are on baby watch. Watching Alyssa’s belly grow. It is so amazing to watch your own flesh and blood grow a baby. I never thought I would feel this way. Alyssa is 25 weeks now. This morning I asked for a picture, I haven’t seen her in a few weeks. Honest to God I burst out in tears. To see her so pregnant and smiling. Omg. It’s the oddest mix of happy, pride, excited, that’s my girl, mom crying ever. We are all so blessed.
