Congratulations! we have 2 grandsons and fortunately they live nearby. they are over almost every Sunday and we totally enjoy/spoil them. We are Nannie and grandpa to them...you have to start working on what they will call you. its part of the Grandparent role of honor. This past Sunday the almost 3 yr old didn't each much Supper, so Mom said no dessert...Then Nannie got caught feeding him one of her freshly baked cookies under the table like a child would feed a dog. We laughed so hard as Nannie explained she just couldn't help help herself seeing the sad face he made!!! You will truly enjoy moments like that. Our son in New Jersey recently told us there expecting so that will be #3 grandchild and our first long distance one. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kenneth R Cluley 480 #10 Posted February 14, 2019 My wife and I were referred to as "Firetruck Grandma and Grandpa" due to me being firefighter, sometimes they come up with their own name, I never really cared what they called me as long as they did. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus a boy 20 from her hubbies previous marriage. The elder boys were often round here, riding the tractors and helping with things. Don't see much of them now as they're getting older.

As our first Grandson was being encouraged to say Grandma, he kept saying umma instead. A few years later we learned he had a slight speech problem that prevented him from making the hard gr sound. The problem was eventually completely corrected with some professional coaching. But the name Umma and Umpa stuck for my wife and I. To this day, our four Grandsons, two Sons, two Daughter in laws, and all our immediate family call us Umma and Umpa. The funny part is, one day a stranger heard my family address me as Umpa, and asked me if I was from Germany. I learned the German name for Grandma and Grandpa is Oma and Opa. So, that new Grandbaby may decide what your new names will be. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daddy Don 893 #14 Posted February 15, 2019 Your whole life has just changed for the good. Have a great time for the grandkid because they grow up fast. I now have three and I would not take the world for them. The oldest is 15 and the young one is seven. Do all you can with them because they grow up so fast. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
