I am going to be a grandmother.....twice!
I am going to be a grandmother twice in June. Both of my daughters are expecting about a week apart. I told them they must have their babies in the same hospital, just in case they have them on the same day. I am very excited!

I am hoping to have one of each, according to the Chinese Lunar Calendar (for whatever thats worth) it is one of each. I have been helping my daughters get through their fatigue and morning sickness, which of course is happening at all hours of the day.My people tell me that the experience of being a grandmother is indescribable(sp?). I am looking forward to the joy they will bring. Thanks for your responses. It is nice to have something to look forward to.

My sons wedding came one week after I had a "bad" mamo. They announced they were pregnant during all my treatments, now at the end of my 1rst yr. of Herceptin the baby is being born. It is the joy of this that has made everything else shrink in comparison. I am so happy for and with you!!!

Congratulations. What wonderful news for you. I am envious. I have a 28 and 24 year old and neither one is married yet. How I look forward to being a Grandmother some day. You do look too young to be a Grandma and the babies will help keep you young. Enjoy this time with your daughters and here's to two easy and healthy deliveries.
