Finally after almost 2 months my DIL got in touch with us. She told us she would stay in touch and that she was bringing the baby up in 2 weeks when we were at the funeral of my Son. Some people don’t answer their cell phones at least not calls from MIL’s and last night was the first we have talked to her. I knew when my Son died that I wouldn’t get the same updates about Ethan as her family and was prepared to deal with that.
She lives in Kentucky and we live in PA so it’s not like I can pop over whenever I feel like it and I can’t force the woman to pick up her phone when I call. I had no clue if they had come up here when she said they were going to last month or not. I only got to hold Ethan once when we were down because I was sick and didn’t want to make him sick and even then I wore one of those masks to keep my germs away and made sure my hands were washed and sanitized.
Even though I had the stupid mask on he wasn’t afraid of me, but I wasn’t able to smother him with kisses. He’ll be 7 months old on the 1st of March and she said he weighs 20 pounds and is 28 inches long. Time flys by so quick, I was there at his birth and it was at the same time my Son was diagnosed with his Cancer, too many emotions with sorrow and joy at the same time. At any rate apparently she’s been up here for a week and only decided to call us last night.
I was at least grateful that she said she would bring Ethan over tomorrow and spend the night so we will at least get to have some time with the little guy. Life sucks sometimes, but we have to learn to deal and move forward, no one knows what the future has in store so we learn to take one day at a time. Of course I wont be working on the computer after they get here tomorrow and probably not Saturday either until late so I just wanted you to know why I wont be visiting your blogs.
Have a great weekend if I don’t visit tomorrow or Saturday.
