Thank you everbody......... and guess what, ol' grandma just couldn't wait, I went shopping saturday & got some of the cutest baby shoes on sale. :dancin: I found THE cutest little moccasins, they'll work for a boy or girl.
Yeah, I'm gonna have the most spoiled little grandbaby I think, the more I think about this the more I am starting to cotton to the idea of being a grandma. (though I still hate that word........it's just has such an "old" sound)

Just remember, your job as grandparent is to spoil them, so do it well. And the best part is, if they get tooo rotten, you can always send them home!
Yeah, they are both young, and I think they'll want/need alot of help at first, so I'm sure I'll get plenty chances to spoil all I want.

Being a grandparent is a parent's reward!
You know, I've heard that said. And my parents...... they were awesome parents, but they are terrific grandparents. They do spoil all their grandkids, and my kids just love them both to death, they get to do alot with my parents.

If it is a girl, you might want to consider the name Allison...its a good choice.
Lol, okay Allison, I'll run that by them. Her name is Amber Janea (pronounced Ja-nay)....... my son's name is Zachary Eugene, so-?- don't know if they will use any part of their names or come up with something totally new. My son thinks "Dixie" would be cute for a girl. :shock: That's all I've heard them say. But, I'm kinda silly when it comes to babies, I pick out baby names all the time, as well as look at baby clothes in the department stores every time I go shopping. (always have........ drives my husband nuts) But I love baby stuff. Wanna hear MY favorite names? If I were to ever have another baby..... these are the names I would use...... told ya I'm baby-silly, I'll never have another one:
Girl: Nacona Sky
Boy: Daytona Blue (and "blue"...having nothing to do with my nic on here, I knew a guy named Blue once, and I thought it kinda neat)
Now aren't those 2 of the funniest names? But I like 'em. I could list all the other names I like, but this thread would be WAY too long then.

Very happy for you!!!
Thank you, I'm starting to think I'm very happy for me too. I don't know who's gonna have the hardest time waiting 9 months, me or the mama,

Ah, Melly, then you'll be right here about a year from now saying "I got some big news".....

Would be much cooler if it was just MA instead of GRANDMA
Uh........NO......... No more "MA" for me. Been there, done that- four times. And I'm real- - LY not so young anymore either I guess, but shhhh....... don't tell anyone that. Thank you Tony.

You look too YOUNG to be a grandma
Thank you Jian....... that makes me feel a bit better. (younger?!?) haha

No way in HECK will anyone think that baby is yer grandbaby!!
So you think I'll get away with the "this is MY baby" thing? I say that now, but I'm sure I'll be shouting from the rooftops that it's my grandbaby. Maybe, heck, the more I sit here and think about it.......... the scarier it is I guess.
Funny thing is, it's making me want to "be a better person" and change some of the bad things in my life....... so a little grandbaby will have a grandma to be proud of. Now aren't I getting all mushy? And the little guy aint even here yet. (oh........ and that's my first grandmotherly premonition........ it's gonna be a boy,
)
Thanks for the congrats everyone.........
My GOSH what a long post I just made. Whew...... hope I didn't miss anybody.
