Well girls...I don't even know where to begin! I have had so much stress going on in my life over the past 7 months, I just am at the end of my rope so to speak! I found out on Valentines day that I have a one month old grand daughter. She belongs to my 27 year old baby son. They had a paternity test done and it was positive. I will be meeting her for the first time on Monday. Also...my oldest son( the father of my 3 older grandkids) is having a new son on March 17 and Ryan will be one on March 18th!!! All I can say is WOW....is there such a thing as baby over load???????? It's a long story and I don't even know how to begin telling you all about it. I have wanted to but figured my fingers would cramp up trying to type the whole sorted thing lol! Anyway...my baby son got himself into a relationship with a girl he cares nothing about and is now in a relationship with a girl he really loves but now has a daughter with the one he didn't care anything about the little girl looks just like him. I saw pix of her. My oldest son got divorced from his wife...the mother of his 3 kids and married another girl that has a 3 yr old daughter and is going to be the mother of a new son.... Does any of this make sense??? I just keep telling myself.......it will all be ok. Shew..I am so stressed out! Please keep me and my family in your prayers!

As usual, I'm a little confused Is the person your oldest son with now Ryan's mother?
You know Paula, there is not a thing in the world that we can do about our "grown" kids decisions! We can only love them and pray for them and hope everything turns out for the best. Congrats on your new granddaughter! What is her name? I know it must be awkward for you, especially since your younger son has a girlfriend she really likes. I hope they can work through it all.
I'm sorry you are so stressed. It seems like when it rains, it pours! We are here for you!

Thanks Betsi and you are so right about us not being able to control their lives after they get older! And no...i didn't mean for you to think that my oldest son is now with Ryan's mom lol! My oldest son that was married to my 3 older grandkids Mom met a new woman that has a 3 yr old little girl, married the woman and is having a new son next month. I guess you understand now why I hadn't posted anything about any of this......

Oh and the new grand daughters name is Lucy Ann..I will post pix after I meet her Monday. I must say that even though the situation is not the best to say the least....I already love this special little girl. She is the innocent one in this mess. Say prayers for her...I've never met her Mom but I did talk with her on the phone today and she was very nice to me and was very open about letting me know that she would never keep Lucy away from me. Time will tell about that but I am just going to take one day at a time.

OMG Paula sounds like a soap.. lol but seriously like Betsi said we have no control over our grown kid decisions. I wish everything goes right for you they are all your grandkids and I hope the granddaughter you are meeting will become a part of your life. You are a wonderful grandma and I hope that your stress goes away soon. Post some pics of the little ones.. hugs to you Paula you will survive all this slowly but surely.

I can understand your stress, and applaud you for for being so understanding and loving your Grandkids. They are the innocent ones.

Looking forward to seeing little Lucy Ann...

Families... a ongoing soap opera for sure.. I could tell stories about my family that nobody would believe!
