Calling all crazies!!

I received a call today from a hysterical crazy person. I am accustomed to dealing with loonies. Most of the people in my life are certifiable nuts! I know and understand girl drama. I have raised four daughters. There is nothing like a sister on sister cat fight! At times the estrogen level has gotten so high that it has taken Kenny to pull the plug on it and save us from killing each other!

But this is a new kind of crazy. The kind of crazy I have not had experience dealing with. Okay, I have had experience with it but I was on the other side of it. And in my defense that little man at McDonalds was just asking for it! Anyway, I digress. We don't need to get into any of my emotional pregnant outbursts.

Katie has said that I have not given her the pregnancy advice like she thought I would or should. I am a good listener. I do give good advice. I try to see both sides of a situation. So what's wrong with me?

I know first hand that change brings out the best and the worst in each of us. Nothing says change like having the first grandbaby! How do you mother a mother to be? How weird is it that the little girl that not to long ago was making mud pies on the patio is now having her own baby! It seems oh, so right and oh, so wrong all at the same time. My baby Rachel will be 17 years old in a couple of days. Opinions and doctors reports have changed a lot in the past 17 years, so is my advice worth anything?

I think I better get something out in the open now. Katie-I don't have all of the answers. I will give you my advice when you ask for it. Your pregnancy experience will be uniquely yours. I will try to think back and remember what I experienced and share it with you. Don't take my lack of an immediate response as a lack of concern. I just might not know what to say, for once.

If the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, I have a feeling that I will be speaking to this crazy person a lot in the next few months. Pray for Jake.
