...dig it!, congrats for the grandmotherness-role-to-be-assumed...mebride had an aversion to anything in-and-or-around the nny of the said role, she had a nana, and big mama(which nearly is a sentence in itself--she shook out fear from all the lil' kids, she was sorta gruff and nana had some real cherokee blood (just fyi)(tribe-dropping, eh?) and was a *smack-0* human being alllll that to say this ali, i love paw paw...whereas mebride Pat, goes by go go and she is a busy woman therefore it is fitting and yet she come up w/ that one to shy away from the granniness...pshaw on her i say to you and i've said to her...but like so many things, i can't imagine her being anyone(thing)else, so ali, queen of sheba you go out into a field and think, girl, think until blood pours out your forehead, no wait that's an anne dillard line...love, charlie...

You are in for such joy! Having experienced the heavenly beauty of a grandson myself, I can fully relay to you that grandchildren are the dessert of life. Not stepping on anyone else's toes is why I am Nana. My mom is grannie for my kids and the other grandmother took Mawmaw so I took Nana, which he modified to nanny and nanny it is. One small additional bonus to Nana/nanny is *teeheeeheeeeee* it's easier for a baby to say so.... you just might be as fortunate as me and he will say Nana first, before mama or dada, cause Logan did! Congratulations Ali! I know you will be a terrific grandmother.
