I have some good news tonight....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

And since the Lounge seems to be on some sort of a downward spiral, I thought I'd share!

My younger daughter and her husband are expecting their second child this November!


I just found out!

Rejoice with me!

Oh, thank you, sweetie!

It's been a while since she had their son.....

So that added to our joy! :hug:

[Kali]

6. Oh my god - I bet you are the

best fucking Gramma!!!! :yourock:

Congrats (to the kid!) :party:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

My dear Kali!

Well, thanks!

Actually, so far, the other grandma is the more natural one...

I tend to be petrified around any baby except mine!

I like them better after they get bigger and can play!

[SeattleGirl]

[leftofthedial]

10. Congratulations, Peggy!

That's terrific.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. My dear leftofthedial!

Thank you sooo much, sweetie!

It is a miracle, seeing your child reproduce........:hug:

[leftofthedial]

14. one daughter in college

one in middle school

I don't want to think about "reproduction" where my girls are concerned . . .

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. Yes, I agree, in your daughters' cases...

They are too young yet......

They have time for this, after they are a little more mature.....

My daughter was 30 when her son was born....and she will be 35 for this one...

So your girls have world enough and time, I think........:hug:

[leftofthedial]

20. all the best to your daughter and her family

and to you! :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. Thank you, sweetie!

My cousin (we grew up in the same household, so she's more like a sister) is looking forward to her 1st grandchild in Oct.! Just in time for her 50th birthday! I can't wait!

I'm so happy for you. Best wishes to your family!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

43. My dear mentalsolstice!

Oh, thank you!

And congrats on your cousin's baby too!

It is such an exciting time!

:hug:

[mentalsolstice]

75. I can't wait...

to snuggle and cuddle, and to listen and smell new baby! you're probably an old pro as this is your youngest daughter's 2d, but I bet you're knowing what I mean!

Again, I can't think of a better grandmom!

[ThomCat]

44. Congratulations!

:)

I hope it's an easy pregnancy and delivery.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

46. My dear ThomCat!

Oh, thank you so much!

My daughter is one of the lucky ones....she loves being pregnant, and she had no problem delivering her 8 lb. son!

We couldn't be happier!

:hug:

[ismnotwasm]

45. Woohoo

How very cool. My daughter got married last December and her husband is adopting her little boy. They are "trying"--whatever that means-- to have a baby. (My daughter doesn't want to hear any explicit advice from me, she says I'm embarressing, can you imagine?)

So I'll rejoice with you! Grandbabies Rock!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

47. My dear ismnotwasm!

Thanks! And yes, Grandbabies Do Rock!

I expect that your daughter and her new husband are making love every month and trying to time it so they hit it when she ovulates...

Good luck to them!

A very happy time indeed......:hug:

[Shine]

52. Hey, that's great news, congrats to you and the family!

what's your "grandma name"? :shrug: The reason I ask is b/c I have lots of friends who are grandmothers, who like to go by different names, like "Bella", "Nanna"...and good ole "Grandma", of course. That's what my kids call my mom, anyway. :D

:hi: :hug: Wishing your daughter an easy pregnancy!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

55. My dear Shine!

Thanks so much, sweetie!

I was assigned the name NanaP! And believe it or not, my grandson actually calls me that!

It's cool with me.....

My daughter is very lucky...She loves being pregnant, and has an easy time of it...

Whoops, duplicate post! :blush:

[bullwinkle428]

74. Congratulations, Grandma-Squared!

Well, maybe I'm speaking out of turn - I'm not sure if you have other grandkids as well! You remind me of my mom in a lot of ways...she's awfully proud of her grandkids (my two nephews) too, even when they're up to evil! I guess she doesn't want to leave me out because I'm divorced and have no kids, so she's been referring to my cat as her granddaughter!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

83. My dear bullwinkle!

Ah, no worries! You're not speaking out of turn, sweetie.....

This will be my second grandchild!

Hey, we had grandpuppies before our grandson arrived!

And they are way cool as well.........:pals:

Thanks for your good wishes!

Listen, I want to talk to you....but not tomorrow!

When would be a good day?

OK....I'll call you Sunday at your 3pm.......

I just have an idea I want to run past you........

[graywarrior]

Congratulations!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

95. My dear Poiuyt!

Well, there are some problems with this!

First, they don't DU!

Otherwise, it's a perfect suggestion!

Thank you......:hug:

My sister sent my this picture today letting us know that he started eating cereal today.

They grow so fast!

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

104. When he hits a year........

You will not believe it!

My oldest is 40, and youngest is nearly 35....I cannot comprehend where the years went!

:hug:

[JackBeck]

108. Every time I see him, he's a new guy.

5 months old and we visit often since he's an hour and a half away.

We all have tons of laughs about how his gay uncles are totally gonna spoil him and spike and dye his hair once my sister leaves him with us. We'll try out best not to let him be as conservative as my sis and BIL.

[Robeson]

105. Congrats Peg!...
