Grandbabies are the best. You will fall instantly in love with him/her, won't want to give it back, until it starts crying for some time, that is, and an occasional smelly diaper change, too.

Just wait until they start to talk, even better. My grandson is my daughter's "mini me" - he is her little twin at that age (he is 5). Such a story teller, so funny. But guess I need to start saving my pennies, he told her the other day that when he got big and could drive, that his car would go faster than hers, because "Grandma was buying him a racecar!!"

Congrats Ladylid

I was even nervous when this happened to my nephew but everything turned out very well after all, he was younger than your son. They got married right before the baby was born.
I understand you fear as the mother (I was only the Aunt)but take a few weeks to let this "sink in". Meditate and relax.

Thank you

Yes..meditation

I'll have the baby doing baby yoga and
meditation as soon as I can to.

I hope I'm one of those sexy grandma's.....

I worry because he has had a lot of problems...addictions he has had to overcome. It has not been so long ago that he couldn't even take care of himself, let alone a family. Yes, he is an adult..yet in some ways just a boy. Maybe that is just the protective mama bear speaking...and I don't want him to get hurt should this relationship not work and and mama and baby leave...

This happened to my son and his girlfriend. They weren't together two months after the baby was born. I still had a relationship with my granddaughter for the first year of her life. It is like reliving having your son over again, all the joys of new things they learn. Best of all, you get all the love and enjoyment and then the baby goes back to mom and dad. You will be amazed at how you feel. I wasn't thrilled about my son having a child at 19, but once that baby is here, all the apprehension will leave. Enjoy every minute.

I guess you, Joy and I are going to be new granny's

congratulations to all soon to be grandma's and pa's!!!

yep, guess so..
and I can't seem to get terribly excited about it..
even with all the great advise here.

Nah me neither. I am sure it will change once they make their appearance.

I always told me boy there would be payback for being such a stinker...
I guess now he'll get it. At the same time I don't want him to have to go through what I did..he was a HANDFUL!!!!Still is

I can totally relate -my son (same age as yours)is getting married and I think they wanna have a baby real soon,,,,

WoW. Congrats Lo. Grandma Lo. Has a nice ring to it.....

No, it really doesn't Jeff..not liking the ring at all yet

But thanks

So I'm guessing that changing your s-n to GrandmaDebbil is out of the question? {j/k}

Congrats on the upcoming new grandbaby! I've heard that Grandkids are 10 times more fun than kids. I'm sure that you will be a WONDERFUL Gramma.

I hate to say it hun, but the phrase, children force you to grow up, just is not true.

you have no worries in that department hun, you are THE sexy grandma of them all

How about Nana?

Congrats!!

To all the new mingle grandmas!!
