the waiting game...

waiting for our grandbaby...

i guess he was one of the reasons this grandma-to-be got motivated to get herself in better condition.

my kids really havent had a grandma.

my biological mother died at age 39, when i was 18 months old. (sudden, unknown cause...in her sleep)

my step mother had a stroke while i was in college and that is who they remember as Grammy, but she passed away when the kids were about 7 or 8 years old.

my mother in law is the only one still alive, and although she lives 5 houses away from us, we really never see her. she has battled with depression and fibromyalgia for decades and its not easy to live around people in chronic pain. worse yet, she isnt doing anything to really take control of it or minimize it as the doctors and the books tell  her to.  she won't eat right, won't sleep right, won't exercise, won't even go outside in the sun for a few minutes. if it isnt a pill, no thank you. She sleeps all day and is awake all night...but we just dont feel like visiting them at 2 am...sorry.

so...i am gonna be a grandma soon. very soon.

i am going to do all i can to stay fit and active and "outward" focused and involved to give an example to this little guy of what is possible. not all grandmas are sickly or fat.

some are awesomely fun to be with!

this is a grandma that wants to climb mountains or go on safari or surfing or something fun like that when he graduates from high school...hey...i will probably be about 62 then...that's not too old to have fun, eh?

so now, i keep running and lifting and my daughter has just finished her semester of classes and is tappin her fingers....c'mon little Noah...you can come now.

of course you will get pictures when he makes his grand appearance.
