New Life
It seems there has been a lot of bad news on the board lately, so I am going to share that my daughter is going to be induced. She was supposed to be induced yesterday, but the hospital was too busy. Today, the doctor guaranteed her she would get in. The process is really grueling, but you have to keep calling until the hospital says they are ready for you. She will be delivering at the Methodist Hospital in Houston. Say a prayer for her and the baby. Hugs to everyone.

Happy for you Vanessa - and be sure your daughter and new grandchild are on my list. I have had my first to hug and enjoy for 5 months now. I would never have believed how happy this could make me...

Vanessa
Right here for you as always, thanks for sharing this spectacular news with us. Keep us posted, do you know what she is having?? I will be taking this wonderful news with us to chemo today. Each day I manage to take something from here and carry it with me for the day. Sometimes the news is not as fabulous as this, so my day is full of prayers. Vanessa, I will have your daughter and new grandbaby in my continued prayers. Tell us all you can when it happens, I am looking forward to it!! Big hugs to you, Mom & new baby!!>Waiting For A Miracle>Believe51...(Marie G)

"Grandmahood Is Awesome"
Hi Vanessa,
Oh....................how exciting for you. Being a grandma is so awesome. We had a brand new little grandson 16 months ago. Our little Isaiah Christopher is the light of our lives. Tonight me and papa went over to visit on my husband's Harley and our little grandson comes tottling outside with his momma and daddy saying "zoom zoom." Too cute. Also we have a little 6 year old granddaughter, Jennah who is absolutely sweet as pie.
You enjoy your new title of "grandma" and THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS BIT OF GOOD NEWS.
Hugs,
Mary Jo
