Really Feeling Old NOW!!!

[kimlovescats]

Well, as if the fact that I will be turning 40 in July wasn't enough .... my daughter is expecting a baby! Normally this would be a good thing, but she is only 19 and unmarried! She is not even able to take care of herself yet, much less a child! She only works very part time at Dairy Queen. Please pray that God will work a miracle for my precious daughter and precious new grandbaby ... and that their lives will be blessed.

The baby is due sometime in October. Although I am very worried about my daughter, I can't help but be excited about my 1st grandbaby!

Wow, Kim, so much is going on in your life right now. I will keep you, your daughter and your grandchild in my prayers!

((((HUGS))))

Congrats Granny Kim!!!! (hehe, now doesn't being called granny make ya feel even older yet?)

I wish I lived closer to you. I'd offer to babysit. I hope the father will be supportive.

Congratulations. I was 19 and my mom was 40 when I had Jaden. Don't panic! I was not prepared to be a parent, and I transformed pretty quickly. I'm sure she'll be a great mommy and everything will work out.

Congrats! These things have their way of wroking themselves out. She'll all of the sudden turn from a little girl who can't take care of her self into a strong woman who can take anything life (and the baby) throws at her.

My husband was also young when he had his son.. in college and he dropped out because it was too hard to be husband, dad, student. He had a hard time making ends meet, but don't we all? He's now 40 with a college degree and we still struggle.

I was 13 when my step-son was born I love telling people that I have a son who's a junior in highschool... you should see their expressions!

I forgot to ask: weren't you feeling old over your youngest turning 15? Worrying about a sleepover with a bunch of giggling teens? Life sure is fun!

Congrats grandmom!

Congrats Kim! I wish health and happiness for your daughter and grandbaby.

Congrats Nana Kim!!! Just think, now it'll be YOUR turn to spoil your grandbaby rotten and then send it home to her mama! Life is what happens when you're busy making plans.

Oh no, that grandbaby will make you feel younger! I have 4 grandchildren, their ages range from 8 to 11. I love them so much. I did find out that I didn't want to spoil them, well yes I did spoil them, oops! I love it when they call me Granny!

You are going to love it! Congratulations Kim, you are in for some interesting times and funny times. I can still hear my oldest grandson when we took a trip to Lafollette (sp?) wanting the back window down on the car, saying '' Granny, my hairs hot'', in a little whiny voice, I still laugh at him for that today, he is 11 and he just glares at me for that.

I have some really great grandchildren stories, and soon so shall you!! Great memories!!

Thank you everyone for the kind words .... I AM excited, and I am praying that THIS is what God has planned to help my daughter finally grow and mature! HIS will be done!!!!

Good luck with all this, and congrats on your grandchild! I think your attitude is really great, and things will be fine!

I couldn't have said it better.

Kim, I'm sure that everything will work out in the end. It's just happening a little sooner than you expected.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Congratulations Kim!! It must have been a shock, but like all the others have said, things tend to work out for the best, and I'm sure this will too. Now we'll get to see pics of kitties with grandbaby!!

Kim, I'm sure everything will work out. (Obviously it will or it wouldn't have happened, right?) Being a mom really makes you see things in a whole different light and makes you mature real quick. Remember, at least it's not you having the baby!!!!! (My husband will be turning 40 in Sept. and we're having a baby the same month.) You can always hand this one back when the diaper needs changed. Enjoy your grandbaby. I'll keep the baby in my prayers.
