[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 425566, member: 1233"] Congratulations!!!! My mother was present for all 3 of my children's entrance into the world. She described it much as you did. I am hoping that when my kids have kids that they will ask me to be there. NOT soon, hopefully, of course. My mother said it was a magical experience and it made her feel a much closer bond with the kids. She was understanding when bro's wife didn't invite her to watch, but said it did make her feel less "close" to the baby. NOT that she doesn't/didn't love/adore my niece just as much as my kids, but she felt she had missed the bond of seeing her born. Not sure I can understand as I haven't been a grandparent, but you might. I find it fascinating to hear the different ways births are handled. I worked iwth a woman who had a 3rd "oops" baby when her youngest was 9. She not only had her mom, sister, 2 sister in law's, mother in law and her 9yo son in the room, she let her 12 yo daughter's friend from down the street watch also. Not on video - actually in the room. I hope your family has a wonderful time with all of the grandkids and great-grandkids!! I am glad you get along with your daughter in law - it really makes a huge difference when your parents like your spouse. I hope over time you ahve the relationship that my mother had with my dad's mom. They were very close. ((((((((((hugs)))))))))) [/QUOTE]
