I am going to be a Grandmother, a Nanny, a whatever you want to call it.
In September, my daughter Nicola and her husband Dale are going to have our first grandchild.
I am going to be a YiaYia, this is the Greek name for nanna, and the one I will use.
I have never seen your eyes-
nor looked into your heart-
it beats deep within-
the rhythm of life-
tick tiny tick tock-
timing is crucial-
days are long-
waiting-
hoping-
for a
1st

Welcome to the club!! It's the greatest and you'll love it!
Going to be a very blessed grandchild.
Congratulations, that's wonderful!
That is SO SO exciting! For you and for them!!!
Grandchildren are SO awesome. I LOVE my seven!! I was 48 when I had my first and wanted to be called something besides Grandma. I thought it sounded so old! I thought my daughter agreed to come up with something "cool." But no. I was Granny Ann. But I soon LOVED the name, and still do!!
You are going to have so much fun being a grandmother. You'll just love spoiling the little tyke. Hooray for all of you!!!
Wooohoo!!! Major congrats. :-)
Congratulations, Yia-Yia!
Thank you all. So thrilled. It has been a struggle for them. They lost their first, four years ago. The road has been bumpy, but they got there!
Congratulations! Big news indeed!
A great big YEEHAW! I know this has made your week, my best to the mom -to-be and you. of course! :)

Ooh, ooh, how very wonderful. I have a "pretend" grandchild - someone whom I've known since they popped out 14 years ago. It is a very special relationship - this grandparent thing. Enjoy!

Congratulations! That's so exciting! I have a niece or nephew coming in September as well and have started knitting baby gifts...
Thanks, Alberta. I love surprises, I'll pop over soon!
Deniz, I am not a knitter. I leave that to my mum. I am cross stitching something for the nursery.
Thanks for dropping by everyone! ♥
A huge congratulations to you, Glynis. I'm sure you'll be writing a lot of poems about your grandchild before and after the big event.
All the best to you and the expectant couple.

Congratulations :) It was the happiest day of my life when my daughter presented me with my Muffin -- and the second happiest is when he called me Noni for the first time.
There's nothing like it. I'm so happy for you :)
Thanks, Netta! Noni, how lovely!
