My Mom brought over my baby book last night...
I had another rough day yesterday and was in L&D for half the day. I had an appointment yesterday morning, feeling fine but my BP was very high and they said I had protein in my urine. So I went to L&D at the advise of my Dr. Once there my BP leveled out and they said I had no protein in my urine. Not sure what the deal is but being there for so long really takes it out of a girl.
Anyway, my mom called yesterday and said that she dug out my baby book and is just getting so excited about the baby. She brought it over and as I was going through it last night I found a letter that my Grandpa (who passed away 2 years ago) wrote about a day he spent with me. I'm SO glad my mom kept that because it was sooo sweet. After reading the letter I could totally remember that day and it was kind of nostalgic for me. Then I found a letter that my Grandma (who passed away 5 years ago) wrote to my mom when she was babysitting me when I was 4 months old and had a fever. It was just the sweetest letter and so detailed on everything she did with me.
I miss those Grandparents but I'm so glad my mom saved these things so that I could look back on them. Now I need to remember to do that as well!

Aww Jayme, that was so sweet. I got teary-eyed too.
Reading your post made me teary eyed too. What a great idea to have grandparents write to the children and keeping it for memories. I think I will ask my parents - all 3 sets of them - to write to the kids especially since one of them has a birthday coming up. Thank you for sharing.?
Awe jayme!!!
Thats so sweet!
My grandma and I write each other all the time because she lives so far away. We've been pen pals. About a year or so ago, i started to keep all of them in a shoe box. After I read each one, i store it. I know she wont be around much longer, and I dont want to look back wishing i had kept some of them.
What a great idea of your mom!
