A very nice surprise!

I was working away yesterday and got a text from Chely--she was at the hospital to get her ultrasound. The Imaging Center sent all their patients for the day to the hospital, so she wanted to know if I wanted to join them for the sonogram. So within seconds they were at our window and I was out the door. I waited with Emily & Patrick while they took all the measurements, etc..
Soon Brad showed up to get us, and he was grinning from ear to ear, so I knew before we got back there what the baby was. Sure enough, we are getting another GRANDSON!!!! Emily started to cry (she wanted a baby sister), Patrick was happy (he wants a baby brother), until I tried to explain to Emily that she doesn't have to share her "girl " things, but Patrick will always have to share his "boy" things. Patrick wasn't so sure then. Anyway, that didn't really console Emily, so I took her to the vending area and bought her a soda, that seemed to help. The tech said everything looked great with the baby. He has 10 toes and 10 fingers. He was playing with his ear. It truly is amazing, it just seems more special when it's your grandchild, than it did when I saw the ultrasound with Brad. Funny how as we get older, things hit your heart harder. Brad & Chely have already decided on a name, but I'll keep that little secret til he makes his debut the end of May/first of June. Needless to say it was a great Friday.
