7 Weeks and Counting

My Grandmother is like most. She worries about the welfare of her kids, grandkinds, and great grandkids like all grandmothers do. She only wants what's best for us and sometimes she makes comments thinking she is telling us what we need to hear, but maybe what we don't want to hear. That's the problem I have now. Since I had my son, she has told me that I don't need anymore kids. She tells everyone that I'm too nervous to have kids. This, I don't get. I have prided myself on being a good mother. We all have our flaws and our breaking points when it comes to raising our kids and I'm sure some things could have been handled differently in my life. But, I have and always will love my son more than anything in this world. I would give my life for him and everyone seems to know this except for her. She says that she means no harm by these words ,only that I was very focused on my son and I guess worry too much about him, but what good mother doesn't worry or focus all their attention on their babies? He is the best thing that ever happened to me and I am proud to be called his mother. Having said all that, let me say this. I had some very good news to share with my family and because of her opinion, I left her out of the loop. I wish things could have been different, but unfortunately they are how they are. So, knowing my aunt (that lives with Grandmother) reads my blog whenever I write, I'm writing this for her. If you choose to tell Grandmother, that's fine, but I want no lectures and if there is bad thoughts or comments towards this news, then I will not discuss any of this. Only the one's that can be sincere in their joy needs to contact me reguarding this subject.

NHP and I are expecting our first child together in August. We are both incredibly excited and everyone we have told up until now has shared in our joy. I hope she can find it in her heart to be happy for us.
