So I am edging into grandma territory, this is where you say that I am way too young and too hot to be a grandma. Deal?

My daughter, the one who is 21, working and living on her own, is pregnant, About 5 months now. I am a nervous person to share the news before 3-4 months in any cases. But she is doing well, gaining some weight but only a tiny bump, and I went to the ultrasound where we saw a boy. A squirmy one at that, hard time getting a picture.

The baby daddy has talked her out of naming the baby Valentine like she always planned. Valentine is the name she gave her scuplture of a guys head with a green mowhawk and a snake crawling out of his mouth. I think there is an eye missing too. Quite good, if you don't mind the subject.

This means we will have 5 living generations since my grandmother is still alive. Next fall (she is due in June) the plan is to drive out to the state where my mom and grandma live and do a photo shoot. That is very important to me, we have a nutty but very caring family really.

Being a Gramma (as I call myself) if the BEST!!! It makes all the raising of kids worthwhile....

Wow, how wonderful, Zoe Girl! :) Keep us informed as things progress.

I love being a Gramma to 9 wonderful kids. Now I'm about to be a great-gramma in less than a week! Can barely wait for it to happen...

Congrats. My grandchildren are one of my biggest joys in life. Now that I have a granddaughter I have dusted off the smocking machine and making beautiful smocked dresses. Fun fun fun.

Congrats, ZoeGirl. I love the gram part of my life even though it is too little and too infrequent. Babies are so precious no matter what. Hey, lizii, congrats to you, too!

Congrats Grandma! I'm only a rental grandma (borrowing my sister's granddaughter) but I enjoy it very much.

My wife and I having gotten to parenthood late in life, I work in an office with numerous grandparents younger than me. It sounds like fun, but grandparenthood with a parent in her/his teens or early 20s sounds like a lot of responsibility as well.

Congratulations!

As for us, we're dealing with driving lessons and homework...

If the day comes where I get my kick at the can, I don't want to be a gramma, I want to be a GRAND-ma! :)

I have that too! My 'baby' is 14 so we have lots of homework (gotta make sure he plays guitar 3 hours a day for school) and getting close to the 3rd kid who needs to learn how to drive.

Oh you're way too young and hot! The baby will have to call you something else besides "Gramma!" Start thinking of a nickname!

Congrats to you, your daughter and the family, what an awesome thing to have all of your generations together like that.
