Well, I can tell you all now. I'm going to have a grand baby! And here it is - baby of my son and his partner - ultrasound done this afternoon. Baby is 20 weeks and due in early February.. I am very very very young to have a grand baby. So the hunt is on for a name for me that does not start with "Nan" or Gran"... prize for the best name (but I have to like it!)

How lovely Heather - Congrats to all concerned - clever little possums

Mardi is a Koori word for Grandmother
Mamaay is a Kamileroi word for Fathers Mother

I reckon Heather would do just fine.

God nearly died of shock When I read the first bit !!! You could have just said I'm going to be a Granny !!!


There you are Granny, Yeah the more I think of it Granny fits the bill just right.

Granny Knight, If thats your real name.


Problem solvered.

Sod off Pacey!

What about " Big Mumma "

You can join Pacey, Neville!

Thanks Maureen. Both not bad. How do you pronounce the second one?

Bob, a baby can't say Heather!

Oh Heather such language !!!!!!


Some time you are going to have to admit you are 45 and accept the consequences.


I really think Granny is a mark of respect. I can remember once my ex left a jumper at my daughters place after a visit and the kids rang up to say they knew it was Granies Jumper cause thay could smell her on it. Mothballs make a wonderful perfume.

The only other thing would be to make up one just for you. Kids find it easier to say things like Dadda so Deather would fit !!!

Bob

Sounds like you're a bit keen there cobber.

What about Nanu-Nanu it worked for Mork.
