Getting TOO close

Oh my gosh!! I can't believe that Jessi and Dan are starting down the home stretch. Sorry I haven't posted since I started this. I have so little time on the computer, lately. I usually end up lost on Jessi's website. I love that I have been able to share her progress with her, even if it is just online.
Believe me, once this baby comes, this PROUD GRANDMA will let you know everything that happens! I hope this baby knows how much love is waiting here for him/her!
We are trying to arrange a trip out to see the baby during the first week of May. We have a condo booked close to Surprise, AZ. We didn't want to be underfoot with the new baby and everything. I can't wait to hug my beautiful daughter (Mommy) and my first grandbaby! I wonder if I could sneak him/her back in my luggage.
I was lucky enough to have all 4 of my wonderful daughters home for Thanksgiving. I got to "feel the belly" and see the "glow" my daughter had. She looks so happy. I am SO proud of everything she has accomplished. And I know she will be a loving MOM!
I hope she knows that, although I am in Ohio and she is in Arizona, I think of her daily. I tell EVERYONE that I am going to be a grandma! And I think everyone in Ashtabula County has seen her belly shots, the ultrasound pictures, and now the nursery. I am already a boring grandma.
I love you Jessi. I pray for you and Dan and the baby everyday. I know this has not been an easy pregnancy, but I believe everything will turn out fine. I am always here for you.
