Now that I've had time to process the news....AHEM....I am going to be a grandmother....okay...wait...I'm entirely too young to be a "grandmother". "Grandmothers" are older wth buns in their hair. At least that's how I see them in my head. My Grandmothers WERE old. My Mom and Dad were the youngers of both sets of families so my grandparents were almost in their 60's when we were born. NOT that I consider 60's old....mind you. Just that they WERE old. They were pretty much retired, Grandma DID wear her long (long long) gray hair in a bun. They were the old fashioned version of Grandparents. Todays Grandmas are (in alot of instances) still working, still look young.

ANYWAY, back to my point, and yes, I do have one. My daughter let me know almost 2 weeks ago that she is pregnant. This means that at the "ripe old age" of 38 I will become a "grandma". I repeat that I am TOO young to be a "grandmother" so I am debating between a few other choices. Eric's parents are already Grandparents. So they will be Nana and Papa. I am debating between the following two....YaYa (greek for grandma) and MiMi (pronounced Me Me). I have til December to figure it out. But, this is one of those things that I keep running through my head at 2:30 in the morning when I should be sleeping. I mean, let's face it, there are women older than me by several years who are becoming first time mothers. SO .... I can't stand the thought of being called Grandma.

I know the baby may eventually call me some cute name of his/her own choosing, and if that happens, I'll deal. But that doesn't mean I can't try to steer his /her little mind now....does it??
