  We got a question for American mamas. Do your mama's are you changing your
• 0:03
  name to the American grandma's. Well, let's ask our American mamas, and
• 0:20
  Jodie is now our American mama's. Still we haven't changed the name. Terry
• 0:24
  Nudderville and Kimberly Burlison, but one of y'all became a grandma. That's right.
• 0:29
  I became a go go a go go. That's her name. That's
• 0:33
  my grandmama name. Like you've got the beat, that's one way you can
• 0:37
  look at it. I just told that that. I know this is probably
• 0:40
  cheesy, but wherever that baby is is where I want to go go.
• 0:43
  So I'm going to go go go to that baby, Okay, And then
• 0:46
  Kimberly will be Birdie to hers and to my to my grandchildren, she's Birdie.
• 0:50
  Yeah. She was always Burley, And I'm kind of obsessed with birds.
• 0:56
  That's what happens when you get old, you start loving birds. Became
• 1:00
  fascinated with first. Yeah, I've seen I've seen these memes on on TikTok
• 1:03
  and stuff like that where somebody's like, yeah, I thought I was really
• 1:07
  cool, and now anybody else you're now forty five and like, oh,
• 1:08
  look at that exactly, y'all. It is the most unbelievable feeling. And
• 1:15
  I have to preface it by saying that it happened a few days after our
• 1:19
  mom died, so uh so it's a little emotional whippling. It is one
• 1:23
  of my friends, Susan D's. A lot of people in Streport know who
• 1:26
  she is. She's just a beautiful soul who is very much in tune with
• 1:30
  God and prayer. And she sent me a text and she said, it's
• 1:34
  amazing how when you're a believer, joy and grief can coexist because you trust
• 1:42
  God's purpose for both. You trust God's plan for your life. You trust
• 1:47
  it all of this is by his design. So as I grieved for my
• 1:51
  mom, I was able to and having her as our matriarch, who prepared
• 1:55
  it all this way right, she wouldn't have it the other way. So
• 1:59
  when I got here home a couple of days later, Steele, my oldest,
• 2:01
  and his wife Tristan love her had Ridge steal Ridge Naderville, And when
• 2:08
  they had him, the joy that washed over me was so overwhelming that I
• 2:15
  there's no words to describe it, really, And guess who the first person
• 2:19
  is that I wanted to call. That's that's the hard part. But lucky
• 2:23
  for us, I've got three siblings. Were very tight, as you know,
• 2:27
  everybody knows our family is so tight. So you know, they rushed
• 2:30
  over and everybody were seeing the baby, loving on the baby. But the
• 2:34
  thing that I loved watching because they have me in their lot. You know,
• 2:38
  they I'm kind of going to be like the night nanny for living while
• 2:40
  they sleep. But anyway, so I was in the hospital. Any new
• 2:46
  parent couple needs, yeah, exact So being in the hospital with them,
• 2:51
  I was watching the way that they became a unit. It is the most
• 2:55
  incredibly surreal, beautiful thing. And what is still say today. He was
• 3:00
  talking about his love for her. He said they fell in love in high
• 3:02
  school, right sixteen years old, and he's like, God, I love
• 3:06
  her. I love her. Then they go through college together, they get
• 3:09
  engaged. He's like, man, this is the one for me forever.
• 3:12
  I love her so much, he said. Then they got married and it
• 3:15
  was like, wow, this is incredible. This has just hurt me.
• 3:19
  He goes, Then she has the baby, like, oh my god,
• 3:22
  oh I love her even more. I know I could he goes then to
• 3:24
  watch my love not only become a mom, but then start mothering our child.
• 3:30
  He said. I was like, he just put his arms down.
• 3:32
  Oh my God, Like there's no words the love. And this is what's
• 3:37
  so incredible about it. And being the grandmother watching this unfold and knowing that
• 3:43
  I prayed for this for my child since he was a baby himself, to
• 3:46
  have this kind of life and to have someone by his side where they could
• 3:50
  start their own family by God's design. It is all I can do is
• 3:54
  just continually give him gratitude. I just keep saying, thank you God,
• 4:00
  Thank you God, thank you God for blessing my family. And and I
• 4:03
  when I held Ridge, I told him, I said, We've been waiting
• 4:06
  for you. You're going to do incredible things. You're going to be a
• 4:10
  leader. You're gonna be someone who's loving and kind. You're going to fight
• 4:14
  for the underdog. All the things that I said to Steal and steal in
• 4:15
  Cheston will do the same thing. It is to see this generational thing happen
• 4:19
  and to see the love that they're a little unit, and it's it is
• 4:24
  just it's miraculous. It's incredible. And to my children, your mother is
• 4:30
  ready to be a birdie. So true, it does do that, but
• 4:36
  no pressure, no pressure. Yeah, but children please get okay, okay,
• 4:43
  but they're they're not all of them have done the appropriate steps. Just
• 4:46
  okay, there's one, there's one. One couple. Yeah, I'm read
• 4:50
  a Stone and Morgan. Yes, I was just gonna say, you know,
• 4:54
  you might not want to be putting that pressure under one. You know
• 4:56
  you always tell your kids, You're like, just wait, you do not
• 5:00
  know this love until you have a child. It's a love unlike anything you've
• 5:03
  ever experienced. So yesterday or day before, I said to Steel, I
• 5:08
  said, do you get it now? He said, I can't believe it.
• 5:11
  He said, I understand it. It is the love you can't.
• 5:15
  You have to experience yourself to understand this is a love unlike anything you've ever
• 5:18
  experienced. Because you will, he said. I said, how do you
• 5:20
  feel? He said, I was holding this little hour's old baby. He
• 5:24
  said, I would die for that baby. You know, just a couple
• 5:28
  a one month after Bailey was born, was nine to eleven. Wow,
• 5:31
  and the protective instinct. I was driving because I was a reporter at the
• 5:35
  time, and I was driving to the station yes, And it took everything
• 5:39
  in me not to drive to the recruiter's office. Wow. Wow, yeah,
• 5:43
  because so many people did. Yes, I get it, you had
• 5:46
  that baby. You had the baby, which you know, had it been
• 5:49
