I thought it would never HAPPEN, but my Sweet Caroline is expecting a baby in February!

My baby is having a baby, and happy as I am about having a grandchild, I'm more concerned about my little girl.

Is this normal?

Eileen,
     Your daughter will always be your "baby", but trust me, once that wee darling gets here, you'll be side-stepping your daughter to get to that baby LOL!  It's normal to feel your motherly concern kick in, but with all the ultra-sounds etc, she will be well monitored. 

     A  huge CONGRATULATIONS - I still remember how we felt when we found out we were going to be grandparents!

                                                   hugs,

                                                   Brenda

Such wonderful news.  It must be so special to see your child grow and then have a child themselves.  I still have quite a few years to wait yet.  I bet you are so excited.

Congratulations Eileen! How exciting! I'd love to be a granny!!!  I'm sure it's perfectly normal to be worried about your little girl, because even when she's a mummy herself, she'll still be your little girl!

I'm sure you're right, Brenda. It'll be "Are you OK, Caroline my darlin'? Yes? Fine--just hand over the baby!"

My first and (so far) only piece of maternal advice was, "If they offer you drugs, TAKE THEM!" She'd already figured that one out!

What a great feeling . . . anyone have tips on making the world's most amazing childsafe bear?

bear_original Late February--right around the Dad's birthday on the 28th and the Mom's on the 15th! Another Aquarius, I guess!

I think I'm suffering sympathetic pregnancy symptoms.

Yes your babies are forever your babies--even when I look at my almost-30 daughter, I see her as infant, toddler, little girl, teenager, the whole thing. Drives her crazy.

Hang in there, Aleta--I'd just about given up.

bear_laugh Thanks, Sarah--so true! I'll be doing a fair amount of babysitting, I hope, to help keep the new Mom and Dad sane, but there's no question I'll be ready to hand the little angel back sooner or later!!

bear_original Patti--you've got two months more experience than I have at this potential grandmothering. I'm sure I'm suffering from bloat and morning sickness!
