I received news yesterday, Christmas Day, that I am going to be a grandma! I am so thrilled. This is the reward I get for not killing my son when he was a teenager. I don't even have any morning sickness. Fantastic!
I became a first-time grandma last weekend! My grandson, Weston (Wes), arrived 6 weeks early via c-section. It was a scary day, but he seems to be doing well. I haven't felt the real grandma feelings yet because we can't hold and snuggle him for any length of time. We hope by the end of the week he'll stabilize and we can cuddle!

CONGRATS. I am totally jealous of all you real grandmothers. DD2's fiance' has 2 children so I am a pretend grandmother. I will just have to be satisfied with that.
I'm one of those - I have no children, but my husband does. We have a 5 yo grandgirl and a grandboy will be here Jan 18th. It's very exciting!

I just received the first picture of my grandbaby--my DIL e-mailed me an ultrasound. I never had one of those when I was pregnant. They weren't done in my day unless problems were suspected. I didn't know the gender until the little one was born. These days they all seem to get the ultrasounds as part of routine prenatal care. It is way too soon to tell from the ultrasound what the sex of this one is yet but it was still fun to see.
My sister's granddaughter (Rachel) named my mom (her great-grandma) MiMi also. It wasn't what my mom originally wanted to be called (and we have no idea where it came from, she just started to call my mom that as soon as she started talking), but since it came from Rachel, my mom adored it. So she was MiMi and always very proud of it.
BTW, I'm still Kaka - and Rachel's almost 10 now. But that's okay, because she may be the closest thing I ever have to grandchildren. My daughters are 25 & 26 and aren't even looking yet - they are intent on establishing careers, working, grad. school, etc. Hubby & I have done more than hinted - it is now a running joke in our family. Don't get me wrong, I am very proud of them; they are completely independent and have both lived on their own since graduating college. BUT WE WANT GRANDCHILDREN TO SPOIL & SPEND TIME WITH & TAKE ON VACATION!!!
So congratulations to all of you grandparents out there - so glad you are enjoying those little blessings! We envy you!! And to Rose Pink - whatever they decide to call you, you'll be thrilled, especially if it's something that they come up with on their own.
Have a safe & healthy New Year (everyone)!

PS - My oldest daughter got a puppy 4 months ago (yellow lab). He is adorable and I love him but I told her in no uncertain terms that that does not qualify as a grandchild!!
I just had to resurrect this thread. Hubby and I are bursting with joy as the unbelievable has really happened -
We are finally going to be GRANDPARENTS!!!!
Our grandson is 8-1/2 and the joy of our life. He wanted to come to our house for Christmas - WITHOUT his parents!!! That was what he wanted for Christmas from his Dad (our son). He flew out last Friday and we are having a great time. We made sure that Santa came.
He has started making plans for spring break and his entire summer vacation! Last summer he stayed with us 11 weeks and loved it - so did we! He is great. We treasure our time with him and are so glad that he wants to spend so much time with us.

Just found out last weekend that my youngest daughter (now 26) is going to have a BABY!! Since writing the post below, she has met someone and now they are expecting their first child.
So hope you are all enjoying being Grandmas, I am sooo.... looking forward to September when I join the ranks.
There is a reason why God never intended for 50 year old women to be mothers!
