PrincessMommy Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 My oldest and her husband are expecting their first child next June. This is a first for us too. It feels so strange. Many of my friends look shocked when I tell them. I'm not yet 50 and I hear there are nice benefits to being a young grandma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILiveInFlipFlops Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Congratulations, and a happy and healthy 9 months to your DD and DSIL! My mom is only 56, and my oldest is 10. She loved being a young grandma and is grateful to have had grandkids while still young enough and spry enough to be able to be active with them. I'm glad you'll have the same opportunities :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Congrats, Debbi! How fun! Are you going to be "yia yia"? Or something else? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWOB Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Congrats!!! My mom was almost 42 when I made her a grandma. Mil was 45. Mil is a fabulous grandma. My grandma is only 75. The coolest part of being a young grandma is knowing you will be around to be a cool great-grandma. Enjoy your new little squishy grandbaby!!!

posybuddy Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Congrats!! How exciting!! I'm a young(ish) grandma too, and it's so much fun. Our little guy is 16 months old now and has just started saying "Mum!" to refer to his mama or me (or any adult woman ;)). He and I were out at Target the other day and he kept shouting, "Mum!" as he pointed excitedly at things on the shelves. I got some mildly shocked, disapproving glances from other shoppers, lol - because I'm not THAT young. :lol: Grandpa and I have already started itching for him to be old enough that we can take him to do all those fun "kid" things. Don't get me wrong, he's a busy little guy that still wears us out, heh, but we're still young and active enough that I think we could handle an afternoon at the Children's Museum. Enjoy that new baby!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessMommy Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 Thank you everyone. It's so wonderful to see other young grandmas here! I don't know what I'm going to be called. It is something I should consider since whatever the name is will be it for the rest of my life! I was thinking of starting a new thread "Grandma names idea". One of my grandma's was "Nana", but I don't really feel ready to take that title. My other grandma's title was "MeeMee" which a friend referred to as a "Poodle name" :D Ack!

happypamama Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 My mom had three grandchildren before she turned 50 (but she was a mom before she was 22), and she's been having a great time (now she has eight grandchildren). She still has some energy to play with them and do fun stuff with them (it helps that my dad is mostly retired now, so they have a fair amount of free time to visit us). My kids will have many years of memories of their grandparents. Congratulations -- enjoy grandmahood!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
