Two days after surgery I took my mom to a basketball game, can you believe that!! She is such a trooper. She said she is looking at it like, just one more procedure out of the way!! Also, as a bigger surprise for her, I got to tell her on Wednesday that I am expecting another grandchild on or about September 6th. She was very excited. The whole family is thinking blue since there are already four granddaughters in the mix. I am so fortunate to have my mom around to go through this with me. Afterall, this is my first child and I feel so blessed to be able to call up my mom and say, "Is this normal!"

I wanted to thank you all for the prayers. The surgeon said her thyroid came out very easily. Her recovery has been easy as well and I am sure it is because all of you have been kind enough to include her in your prayers.

I hope you all are well! I continue to pray for you every day.

    Wow... what fabulous news, Krystie!! For both of you!! You can be rest assured that the news of a new grandchild is going to be the best medicine for your mom, no matter what various treatments/procedures she has to go through. And this time leading up to the baby's birth is going to be a very special time for you and your mom!

    Many blessings indeed!
    That your mother was able to enjoy the basketball game with you AND get the news of another grand child! And for YOU to find out you are expecting your first child! How wonderful! Babies are awesome! My mother was able to help deliver both my babies since she was a labor and delivery nurse! I was able to be with my daughter when she delivered her first baby, although I wasn't nearly as much help as my mother would have been! It is just the most amazing experience to have! Enjoy!

    Indeed
    I am so thankful that God has blessed me in this way. I have dreamed of being pregnant and being able to tell my mom my whole life. Although when I told her she said, "I know." I guess she had figured it out and had just been waiting for me to tell her. She's so intuitive. I am looking forward to the many memories she and I will make over the upcoming months.
