Just found out that grandbaby #3 is on the way. I've already got 2 grandsons, it would be fun to have a girl this time. If it's a boy tho, I surely won't complain...I raised 3 daughters. :-6:):-6

Thanks to all...it's always exciting to get another one and my newly married daughter had her hubby un-fixed, so they're going to try to have another one too. Doesn't seem possible when I just turned 44!

Thanks Patsy...we still have about 7 months of anticipation, but as long as it's healthy I don't care what we get.

Aren't they a blast? I also have a 3yr old grandson (almost 4) and he loves doing things with Bamma and Beepa. They sure are hard to keep up with...never ending energy....you must have been totally exhausted after a whole weekend!!! :wah::wah:

Thankfully they're all to little to be looking for a loan...they're happy if you give them a penny! :wah:

Just found out that #3 is a boy too...he's due Feb. 12th. So much for getting the fancy dresses out! :wah::wah: Also my oldest daughter and her husband are trying to get pregnant again. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with all these babies!! Well ok, I do know what I'll do with them, snuggle, cuddle and spoil!! Three important criteria for being a grandma!

Yeah, they are so much fun. Scary thought for me getting all these boys is that I could end up being a great-grandma by the time I'm in my mid to late 50's!!

And that means great-great grandma eary to mid 70's and great-great-great grandma around 90. (my mom's mom is alive and kicking at 90 and her mom lived into her 90's) right now we have 5 generations in the family which is pretty cool. :-4

When I spoke to him earlier this evening he was bouncing around like zeberdee - didn't even realise anything was wrong until my wife told me.

Oh for the resilience of youth - at five it's all an adventure :-4
