As many of you already know, I became a grandma on May 13th! What you may NOT know is that I did so naturally, without any medication of any kind!
This would not have been possible 10 years ago. Back then I medicated myself just to floss my teeth! So, to me, watching my daughter give birth to my grandson without drugging myself halfway into a coma was quite a feat!
I didn’t scream once and I watched the whole thing! I even took pictures. It was an amazing and emotional event! I was so proud of MiMi! She did a great job and her son, Elijah James, is a miracle in every sense of the word! Little Eli was born 5 weeks prematurely yet still weighed in at 6 pounds! He was breathing on his own and is one healthy little fighter that was just meant to be.
The pregnancy was fraught with problems from Pre-Eclampsia (or Toxemia) to Gestational Diabetes. MiMi had quite a time but she’ll be the first to tell you it was worth it!
She and Eli stayed with me for about a week and just went home last weekend. We miss them both already. While they were here I got to experience all of the joys of being a grandmother! I was able to hold, cuddle and love on him…except when I had something else I had to do. Then I handed him back to his Mama…just like the “grandma book” says I should. I slept through the night even though he did not. But he is breast fed…what could I do? My nipples aren’t even sore…at least, not from him. My Hoo-Ha isn’t sore either…again, not from him. I have my figure back already too!
I know, I know…I’m one amazing Granny! If you aren’t a grandparent yet, I’ll bet you wish you were now!

Congrats Grandma! I can't tell you how happy I am that your Hoo-ha doesn't hurt! :) Mine however does A Lot! Like you said though he was worth it. Words can't express how happy I am or how much I love my little miracle man! Nothing can prepare you for the overwhelming emotions and love that I've experienced from having little Eli. I am blessed! Thank you for your constant love and support! You rock Grandma!
-Love Mimi
