My oldest daughter's having a baby, tonight! | ward's Blog

Yeah, my unmarried teenaged daughter is having a baby tonight.  She's been real good about taking care of herself, going to all the prenatal classes with her boyfriend, and I think she really wants to be a responsible mother and she probably will be!  She will be. 

It will be hard on her and her boyfriend, so young.  We're trying to make it go well for them, but they are in for a lot of work.  The other grandparents are in it for the long haul too; so we're all involved and it feels like a good family thing. 

I guess I'm excited.  Both grandmothers are at the hospital and the doctor was planning on inducing labor about the time I left to return home.  I'll be a grandfather tomorrow.  It seems like just yesterday my wife and I were lustfully leering at each other in the campus hallways at the university. 

Now we're going to be grandparents!  Holy Shit!  Where'd the time go?!
