Allotments 4 All

Hello, ;D

my daugher told me today that she is pregnant. ;D I'm so excited! ;D Still early days yet, 35 weeks to go, but I'm sure that will fly by.

Now what will I call myself? Granny, Grandma, Nanna, Nanny, Mamgi (welsh)...........?


cj ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

what lovely news

OH's nieces call his mum 'Grum' ... his dad was 'Gramps'

What smashing news, I wonder what they will call you, I am so very happy for you.. XX Jeannine

Oooh, that's wonderful news, many congratulations! :) :)

Brilliant news Caroline. Many congratulations to you and all your family.
Whatever name you decide you want to be called when you hear your Grandchild say it for the first time you will be over the moon.
Best wishes Lorna.

It's a whole new world (again!) - best bit is you know not to "wish their life away" and you appreciate everything so much more because you know how brief childhood is.  Great news!

Congratulations Caroline!!  :)

Hope all goes well and what ever you decide to call yourself, make sure everyone is comfortable with it, especially yourself. I personally cannot stand the name Nanna for Granny and refused to use it when my daughter was born. Thankfully neither of her Grannies wanted to be called Nanna.

Oh wow congratulations Caroline  ;D

 :) Congratulations Caroline
The seeds have germinated  ;D
Exciting times ahead, with lots of babysitting to come
Wish you all well.

Wonderful news. It's always lovely to hear grandparents being excited. Neither of my parents were that fussed!! Their loss.  :P
My grandparents are Nana and Gramps but i do like Mamgi as my OH is of welsh descent. If his mum was alive still i think that's what i would have christened her.  ;D
Best wishes to your daughter. I hope she enjoys her pregnancy as much as I did mine and get her loads of palmers cocoa butter - no stretchmarks - miracle stuff!

congrats to you all from me too!!!
wishing daughter and new bump a very happy and healthy pregnancy :)

Oh that is so exciting & I am very envious - don't forget to keep us up-to-date & let us know when you finally become a nanna/granny/mamgi    :)

Congratulations!!!! And I thought choosing a name for the baby was the only problem!

Thanks for all your replies!

I showed them to my daughter, and she was really happy to see messages from so many lovely people.

She and her husband both work for the AA, so she told them today. They are arranging for Tom (hubby) to work full time as soon as he finishes uni in June, so they can get things together before she finishes work. At the moment, Naomi is planning on going back to work after maternity leave, but I have a few friends who thought that, but couldnt tear themselves away from the baby so soon. Watch this space ::)

Well how many bootees have you knitted overnight??

Jeannine

I am trying to resist the temptation for a few weeks yet. I must admit I find myself drawn to the baby department if I am in a shop ::)

Phil and I are going to buy a cot for the baby, so I have already looked on the mothercare website. I think we will take Naomi and Tom out for the day later on, and have a grand 'cot buying' day ;D

I bet you buy  something before the end of May,  XX Jeannine
