    You are in for a ball, Ruby2, whatever they call you. Best job in the world.

    Awww so exciting! I've heard being a grandparent is so much better than a parent 'cause you get to spoil them without any of the repercussion. :wink: I have a fabulous relationship with my maternal grandma.

    I personally like grandma but there's nana which is nice too. My friend call hers Mimi!

    Massive congratulations to you and your family x

    Thank you Starburst.
    like Mimi is there any special meaning to it?
    I know the first sound babies are able to produce are at the front of the mouth so mmmmmmmmm words and dddddddddd words win! :D

    Oh Ruby I am so pleased for you. I got a (actually I don't know what he would be as he is the son of my old foster child) 'adopted grandson' for Christmas and its lovely, incredile and, in my case an honour :D

    Time wasters mind :lol::lol:

    Let us know please and the name... you know when they are there and in front of you the name doesn't matter and you might find nan of granny etc will be just fine :lol: Cris x

    Hi Ruby2

    fantastic news l am so very pleased for you :D

    This will be the best thing EVER!!

    As for what to call yourself....

    I dont want to be a Nan or a Gran really... :? but l would just choose one and then you will find your Grandbaby will change it his/her self.

    Gammy, Ninny and Gardar - these are some of the names l know have been invented this way :D

    Fun fun fun times ahead for you

    Love

    Toni xx

    I love my Grandma so when I became one that was the name for me people think im mad cos im 40 but I love it. Im not a lover of nana but then my NANa wasnt a lover of anything :? including us kids.
    My granddaughter calls me MAMA (her mum is MUMMY)at the minute shes 20 months now and is the JOY in my life that keeps me going its amazing the love you fell for grandchildren, she calls granddad 'danddad' in fact that was her first word. Needless to say hes wrapped round her little fingers :lol:

    good luck and enjoy and to you lindalegs too :D

    Great news... wonderful feeling.. you will soooo enjoy. It is strange i love all four of my monsters(children) as i call them but there is something different about a grandchild just cannot explain it. I opted for grandma and i have another due being of May (another girl) can hardly wait... nothing like a new born baby...the smell, the touch and the feeling of love.
