Me? A Grandmother?

Meet my new grandson, Carter!  I hadn't expected to be a grandmother for a while yet, but apparently the Universe had other ideas.  Just when I think life is getting a bit dull and predictable...  BAM!  Some fairy somewhere waves her magic wand and POOF, I'm a gramma.  

I'm still getting used to the whole mother-of-the-father-of-the-baby thing.  Testing out monikers.  Granny is already taken, as is Gramma P.  Memaw is out.  Nana is a possibility.  My friend told me I'd love being called Grandma as soon as it's said by that sweet little boy while he's holding his arms out to me.  I think she is probably right.  I am smitten.  He's just absolutely perfect.

My son is learning to be a father.  I think he is going to be amazing at it.  He's a natural.

I am absolutely certain life will never be the same.  And looking at this sweet face, I wouldn't have it any other way.

  5. Adorable! But be careful. We had the same "Gramma" name issue. My kids, now 34 and 40, to this day call my Mother - their grandmother- "Lady"!
