What's in a name?

Okay... I have had 49.5 years to come up with a name for my grandchildren to call me... Well okay not really my whole life! I have really only thought about what I would be called in the past few years. So for let's say about three years now I have been contemplating what I would be called if God so chose to bless me with a grandchild. I called my grandmother on my father's side "Grammy". My grandmother on my mother's side was called by her 13 grandchildren "Grandmother". I know... very original. We couldn't call her grandma or anything else to shorten the name because we were taught that that name was respectful.

So anyway, I thought for the past three years that I would be called "Grammy".

But now... I am not so sure.

When I created this webpage I named it Being Grandma because I had decided that I would just stick with the traditional "Grandma" name.

But now.... I am not so sure.

My son has sent me a few suggestions...

Grandma
Granny
Mo-Mo
Nana
Grammy
Me-Ma
Grandmother
Gramma
Ma-Ma

I have also looked for on-line suggestions. Do you know that there are quite a few websites for "grandma nicknames"?! You really can find anything on the internet!

So... I am still trying to decide. Maybe it's not for me to decide.

Maybe it's for my first grandbaby to decide.

What do you think?

Happy Valentine's Day

Grandma's gift

I didn't get this shipped in time for the baby girl's shower but the new mommy & daddy will receive this via UPS very soon. This is what baby girl will be sleeping in while she is a grandma and grandpa's house.

Baby Shower

The count down begins… approximately six weeks and SHE will be here! I was so happy to be able to be there for the baby shower in Oklahoma last weekend. While I was there we also celebrated my mom’s 84th Birthday. What a blessing!

Baby Girl's Nursery

Here is another picture of the nursery. I just received a few new pictures from my son last night.
