Linneyville just got bigger.

Sharing is caring!

I’m experiencing more joy, fear, terror, love, nerves, excitement, panic and happiness than I’ve ever had in my life.  Matched only by the moments that I found out I was having my babies… I am feeling all those raw emotions again because… my baby is pregnant.

I’m going to be a grandmother. *blinks*

My daughter Maggie – you’ve met her here and in person at Blissdom – is 19.  Not ideal timing for someone in college, planning internships in NY, trips abroad to Europe and a summer of riding her horse.  She thought long and hard about what to do.  With my support and the support of her family and friends, she’s planning on keeping the baby.

She’s my baby.  My baby is having a baby.  Can you believe I get to say that?

I’m proud of her, I’m scared for her, and I’m thankful that she made the choice she did.  She’ll be a fabulous mom – and I’ll be the best grandmother the world has ever seen.  You can count on that.

She’ll be blogging here since I don’t have as much time  to devote to the blog anymore.  So look for her posts as she shares her stories.  We’ll partner here as we will in real life.  I’ll be here often sharing my life as a ….grandmother.

GULP.

You can call me Linney or you can call me Granny.  I’ll answer to both from now on.

OH MAGGIE!!! Congratulations on your baby! I won't lie. It's gonna be hard. You're gonna know you're in over your head. You're going to question everything you do and say and don't say and don't do. You won't think you deserve this job. You'll wonder why on earth God let you leave a hospital with a baby (we did!) And you are gonna love that bundle. Love it. Love it. You're an awesome person, responsible and strong and you have an awesome support system. Lean on them and love yourself and take care of yourself! I can't wait to see and you have my number from Blissdom and can always text me! I'll tell you about all of my screw ups and God gave me THREE of them! (Start buying a pack of diapers or wipes a week NOW. Trust me. 1s and 2s using coupons and you'll have a great stash. :))

(And congratulations Linda! Grandma!!!)

kisses and hugs and lots of love to you both! And congrats on coming out of the closet! You make a great team and I'll be there too cheering you on. And I can't wait to say things like, "Don't get your Granny panties in bunches!"
