Congratulations ! This is going to be the most amazing experience of your life.

My 4 yr old grandbeauty called me this morning. I said "hello" and she starting singing "Happy Birthday to you" to me -- it was sooooooo sweet. I wish I had known she was going to do that so I could have recorded it. My DIL said she woke up this morning and told her it was grandma's birthday. Ash asked her how she remembered that (they had discussed it 3 or 4 days ago) and she said that she had counted her naps She counts her days by counting her naps - How precious is that

Take tons of pictures - that itty bitty infant will be going to their prom before you know it

She counted her naps? That is adorable. Oh my gracious. What a sweet little girl.

Happy birthday. How did we miss that at BWS? Did you not tell us? I hope you had a great day. Boy, double rainbows, grandchildren singing to you, what more can you ask for?

Darlene, Congratulations on your impending "grandma-hood"

I became a first time grandma last October (my grandson will be 10 months old this month) and I'm expecting another grandchild in February. My daughter is pregnant. Yay! This is my first post about it. We haven't said anything yet, because we were waiting for the first ultrasound. Michelle had a miscarriage during her last pregnancy.

Hello Darlene, and congrats on the up-coming special event!

Just spent the month of July for the most part, with my three Grands, Grandsons-16, and 10, and Granddaughter-9, my youngest. Each one paid a visit, individually, and it's been a joy!

What you have in store for you is precious, and wondrous, enjoy!



My youngest daughter, and her gift to me-My Granddaughter-Miss Juli

Darlene and Vicki,

Congratulations!!! Your hearts are going to burst when those little miracles are placed in your arms. (Make sure someone has a camera. This will become your most treasured photo!)

My grandbabies are turning into grandboys. I love going to their school plays and to their soccer games. I love their smiles, hugs, kisses and even their stinky sneakers!

Blessings,
Emily

I love spoiling them rotten. So does Pop-pop (my husband, John).

Congratulations to the "grandma-to-be". For all aI know, it's a blessing! Thoug I am not a grandma yet and I am in no hurry either . ( My kids are still studying).

My mother just met her frist great-grandchild while we were In PR for the family reunion. It was such a joyous moment! She was just "in heaven".

Congrats! My first grandbaby was born almost 18 months ago and my life has never been better. I get him every Friday night for sleep-over. They have been very gracious with him. I babysat him while Mom worked for 7 months and can pick him up to spend time whenever I want.

It's the best thing in the world. So happy for you!
