What wonderful news for you - heartfelt congratulations! Now you have to learn how to post pictures on this forum so we can all see your new grandson when he arrives.

If you think you are excited now, it doesn't compare to how you will feel when the little one arrives.We have 7 and got excited when each of them was born. Congratulations!

Congratulations! Being a Grandma is wonderful. I have 4. I went to Tucson for 5 days to visit DD and grandson and just got back this morning. DD was talking about having another baby when her hubby gets back from Iraq. I told her to wait a few months since I didn't want the birth to interfere with my winter vacation!

Booked a Disney vacation for Oct with DS and his family which includes the 2 yr old twins. Trying to get the other ones to join us.

Congrats. We have 4 and love them all, but that first one is really something.

Nancy

ps. We've timeshared and vacationed with them since they were about 6 weeks old with and without parents.

Wow...overwhelming....you are all so wonderful, sharing in my news. I am not sure I am ready for this....but I will have to be...LOL.

My son asked his Dad ( both in states right now and me and younger son in MX), what is wrong with Mom, I called her to tell her it is a boy and she started crying...I think she has lost it! Hubby said, that is joy and love for you and you will very soon understand how overwhelming mother.child or father.child love can be....plus your mother cries at everything happy!!! LOL

Grest.....a granddaughter...oooooh....shhhh...I wanted a girl since I only have boys...BUT my son wanted a boy so I am thrilled he got his wish. Long as a healthy baby that is what is important so a grandson it is!

IreneLF...ah yes, thanks pull for me to win t/s forum lotto..or even better lotteria, think I may need it!!!

Dori...oh cool...sounds like this is going to be fun....timesharing with family and little ones again.....glad most of my timeshares are bigger units!!!

Pittle....sounds wonderful...oh goodness I already own too many timeshares I think, well maybe not, who knows...my 18 year old son, a timeshare monster we created already owns his own timeshare in Mazatlan. Oh..he is not the soon to be dad, he is the youngest, my eldest is the new to be dad LOL.

MargeS....Oh how I understand, my grandson will be 3500 miles away...

Jackio...so true I have to learn to post pics just of my past vacations and t/s mug and bag....let alone grandson...

PatH...I get it...timeshare addict like me...we might be away for that matter when grandchild is born......but then it will be vacation at timeshare and then to states for me!! Oh goodness!

Nancy...great news, I can start my grandson on the timeshare addict road really young then....wonderful!!!

Forgot about their kids!! ) youngest Son has 2 Boys - 2 & 4. And middle Son has a 1 yo boy, & the October surprise. I'd love another Granddaughter.............but like you say.............as long as it's healthy!!

WOW!!!! 5 grandkids....least one grandaughter and oh my this is overwhelming....Hahaha....we were just at stage where we could really enjoy ourselves and boy were we..for a little while LOL....we too forgot about thier kids.....LOL... Oh well it will be a new and exciting experience, and now I get to hand down one of the special memory bags I have saved for 24 years, my son's first stuffed toy, baby blanket, hand crocheted, christening outfit, favorite story book.....it was " Never Talk to Strangers"...and some booties and such.....

I think one will be just fine for now.......5 I might have a heartattack!!! LOL....I am sure later I'll be telling you how lucky you are...

Oh I forgot tot mention my son, the soon to be dad, said, oh do not worry mom, we plan to bring baby down to Mexico at least for a month every year, as it iwll have to learn spanish like we did...I said oh that will be very nice...but we will have to be very careful not very childproof here and he said we, I mean we will come for a week or so then leave your grandson with you for a month so we can have vacations.......I told him I think you are having delusions!!!!! He just laughed, you know one of those kid laughs when they know they will be able to con you!!!! OH mY!!! This is definately one of those life altering things.....

Some of the best times are interacting with the grandkids when "the parents" are not around! We stay with the girls every year for at least a week while son and DIL get some alone vacation time. Very different dynamic. Very hectic (we forgot just how much work kids can be full time), but very fun as well. Makes us so much closer to them. We get to really know them as the individuals they are.

[bezerk Moderator Find all posts View Profile Close bezerk]

MargeS...okay a week or 2.....sounds okay...a month...I am not sure....I think I remeber how much work kids are full time LOL, even grown ones like the 18 year old with me now....

Thanks for the encouragemnt and wise words.......
