Going to be a Grandpa!
« on: October 16, 2009, 07:09:50 am »
My son and his wife have a baby due in March. They had ultrasound ran yesterday, it's going to be a girl!
So I may have to be bugging JaveryH on his Bella's Arcade build.
I am very excited, first time grandpa here.

Have you picked out grandparent names yet?

I have a semi-foster daughter who's having a baby, so the wife and I picked out grandparent names. Hers is "Mimi". Mine is "Big Daddy". My oldest is only 18 so hopefully grandparenthood for me is a few years away.

Hmmm, I dont know, I guess it's up to the parents, however "DaOld Man" seems to fit pretty good.
