I am SO super excited for you!!! Your DIL will be one of those who looks so cute pregnant - just tall with a little basketball belly. (I looked like a whale).

What a great Christmas surprise! When I got your text, I was almost dancing around the bathroom. You will be a fantastic grandma - and what a blessing to have them so close!

[rgcraig]

Thanks everyone and congrats to PO too!

My son is a sucker for Christmas anyway, but he was so excited about opening presents last night!

We were having a good Christmas and everyone loving the gifts, but in the end there was a HUGE box for "The Craig Family" to share. They wanted me to open it. I opened the box to find only another wrapped box. Then another, then another, then another.......in the last small box there was a note that read "sometimes the greatest gifts come in small sizes!!!!"

I looked at my dil and asked, "are you pregnant"................she said YES!!!!!

OMW - - - I let out a scream and actually stripped my throat - - my daughter started jumping up and down and hugs were everywhere!!!!

I cannot believe that my son actually kept it a secret for a month...............he can NEVER keep a secret!

They had told her parents the night before, so we got to watch the video of them finding out and it was so fun!

Of course, our video could probably win something on FV's - -

I'm still just floating on air!!!! What fun!!! How blessed!!!!

Just praying now for the blessed pregnancy and healthy baby!

[Sinatra]

Renda, congrats!!! This is wonderful news!!!!! Grandmothers have such a special place in the lives of their grandchildren. BTW, I love how they told you the news.

[Blubayou]

What a perfect Christmas surprise! Congrats! You will have a blast with a grandbaby!

Congrats, Renda!!

Did you shake the gift first to see what it was??:gift (Wrote this before reading about the huge box!!)

[simplyme]

WOW! Babies are popping up everywhere on here!!! Congratulations!

So true, I just had MY first grandchild, a little princess at Thanksgiving time
she was born 11-23., and I just recently found out my other son will be
having a child as well, but not for quite a while, they're only like 6wks pregnant. I had never expected to even BECOME a grandma in my lifetime on earth., sooo, GODs plans are often surprises. ;) There's a reason for it all.

[Dedicated Mind]

Congratulations Renda, it is great to see you so happy!

[Trouvere]

Great News!

[tamor]

Yay!! I just read PO's thread and saw where you posted about this. I am so excited for both of y'all. Grandbabies are awesome!! You need to use my grandmother name - Granda!!

[pelathais]

That's great Renda! Congrats!

[rgcraig]

Yay!! I just read PO's thread and saw where you posted about this. I am so excited for both of y'all. Grandbabies are awesome!! You need to use my grandmother name - Granda!!

Yep - I'd already decided it was perfect for me since it's so close to Renda. My DIL loves it too, so I'll be a Granda like you!!!!

I'm so glad! :santathumb

I'm sure there may be more people out there calling themselves that but I had never heard it. I had heard Gran, Gram, Granna, etc, so I just made something up that I thought I would want to be called for the rest of my life!

My grandkids have so many Pappaws and Nanas that they have to use the first name with it to tell them apart, but there is only one Granda and Jon Jon!

[Sweet Pea]

There is nothing quite like the love of a grandbaby! I am SO happy for you!

:congrats:congrats:congrats

[OneAccord]

Will you and PressingOn please stop competing, for crying out loud? I mean, this is a little extreme, don't ya think?

But seriously, folks....

Congratulations, and while theres really no need to say it.... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[Margies3]

Renda, what an awesome Christmas surprise!!!

And hey, if you get a boy and PO gets a girl (or vice/versa) in alot of years, who knows - maybe we could be looking at an AFF wedding :)

Those games are too funny!

I'll just be attending the showers - not having to give them, so I probably need to go shopping NOW!

I was staying off of your update thread. Didn't want to bog that down with silly stuff for the next few months. LOL!

I like to play fun games that don't require too much competition. I think it makes the guests uncomfortable. Although, I'm sure some like that type of game. I just want to relax and have fun.

Since I'm in charge of the showers, I'll be doing my daughter's shower. LOL! Mrs. Manners will say that's not proper etiquette, but things have changed!

I'm going to purchase this for my SIL!!! :toofunny
