Do I Look Like My Baby's Grandma?

Grand Parents? Those words kept ringing in my ears. Do I look like my baby's Grandma? I impatiently waited for this day and I wanted to be happy but now I was second guessing myself. During the flight our tired little boy couldn't sleep even though it was obviously nap time. During our ten month wait Joe and I took numerous trips to Maryland so that Joey would know us, yet he was miserable during most of the flight. Was it his ears? Was he off schedule? Was he afraid? At sixteen months and only twenty one pounds, his small frame was in constant motion on Joe's lap. Our girls were different when they were this age. They would be content to take a nap during a flight. Everyone says boys are different. Maybe little Joey was tired of being restrained, after all he was still a new walker. The trip home was awkward and we were obviously out of practice, after all it had been over twenty years since we cared for a baby.
