Grandmas

Next to Uncle Johnny’s joy, the reactions of our mothers definitely take the cake.

Babydaddy’s parents were given an anniversary card from our fetus…his mom started jumping up and down screaming “I’m going to be a grandma! I’m going to be a grandma!” and hugged the daddy-to-be for a good long time. Yes, you’re going to be a grandma!

I bought a Grandpa-specific Father’s Day card for my dad, signed “Love, Baby…can’t wait to meet you in December!” My dad opened the card, read it, said “Hmm!” and handed the card to my mom. She read it, cried and said “I told you, Eugene! I told you!” According to my mom, “a mother always knows!” Knows what? That her daughter’s birth control failed?

We were then presented with a still-in-the-package Winnipeg Jets baby bib. Fortuitous given that only weeks later, the Jets were brought back to our fair city.
