My son called me yesterday afternoon.  I wasn't available so he left a message.  His wife had her baby daughter. He is happy when I can come visit.  It's not often because we live so far away.  I don't know what he'll have his daughters call me.  While he was growing up, he always called me "Uhm".  As in "Uhm, could we stop and get a drink?"  He will now call my by my first name which is just fine.  I'm still "dad" when he's talking to someone else about me.

But I'm jazzed.  I'm planning a trip in a month or so to go see her.

That is such good news Cindi  you must be thrilled.  I hope that everyone is healthy, so tell all, how heavy was she etc. etc.  We were wandering what grandchildren would call me if we get any of course.

Congradulation grandparent Cindi.
Grandchildren are a joy and real blessing.

The birth of a new baby, always brings joy.

Don't forget the photos!

Becky

Great new Cindi.  I'm very happy for you.

Good news Cindi. Umm is interesting. Lets see, Grandma Umm. Why not? Hey you know the best part of it all is your  son wants you to come to see the baby

Concradulations Grandma Cindi.   "Grandma Umm" sounds good

Love being female

Congratulations Grandma

Dennis

Congratulations Cindi!!  Babies are wonderful!

Just wanted to add to all of the congrats!

Congratulations Cindi!  This is such wonderful news indeed!

You are finally an "abuelita"   You have been Cindi for so long now, and hopefully your son will teach his children to call you "grandma".....or maybe...
simply "cindi", that'd be really cute too.

love ya!

This is absolutely winderful, Cindi!  I have four grandchildren - two of them are my step-son's (4 and 13yrs old) and two are his stepchildren (16 & 18).  No blood relation whatsoever and I love 'em to pieces anyway.

I'll bet it's even better when they are direct family.

Hugs & Smiles and CONGRATULATIONS ! ! ! !

PS - We Definitely need to see pics as soon as possible!

Wow....You are such a great lady Cindi that I love hearing it when good things happen for you 

That's just fantastic    Not sure what to say except you made me smile 

I finally got on the horn with my son an hour ago.  He was in the hospital with his wife and baby.  I was able to talk to both of them at some length.  Her name will be Alyssa.  She weighs just 5 pounds.  She seems to be very healthy.  She also came ready with an apetite and is nursing right away. 

I am thrilled for both of them.   Thanks to everyone for your good will and love.

I'm sure she has a heart of gold like "abuelita"

Here is the URL to the photos.  Kaylie and Alyssa are my grand daughters.  Grandma is... welll guess.  Grandpa is her new spouse.  Daddy is my kid. Since it isn't cool to post external URL's here, you'll have to piece it together in your own browser
