Being a grandparent for the first time

Hi to all the Grandies out there on cloud nine because thats where the Grandkids put you every time I see them, with their little arms opened wide running screeming GRANDMA.

I have seven children and 20 grandies and it is still a thrill when a new one comes along they are all beautiful and have their own individuality.

I love them all, and miss it when i can't see them because I live some distance away from them all now, however when they come to stay for a weekend I am beat at the end of it, but cherish each and everyones input.   When there is an occasion where we are all at the same place at once, the kids have a ball and so does Grandma.   The questions fly, the stories I get to listen to and they all have one and then they all find something that they did that they think is more exciting than the others and they talk all day, some of the explanations they use can be so funny.

I have a few of the girls who talk to me on the net and some are very young, so theiir spelling is not the best they type it how it sounds to them and is sometimes very hard to put together, I think this is a great thing for teaching them comunication, spelling and reading skills.

I'M A PARENT AND GRANDPERENT

HI, I HAVE YOUNG TEENAGE CHILDREN AND ALSO GRAND CHILDREN. I HAD 4 CHILDREN BY THE TIME I WAS 22,THEN 8 YEARS LATER HAD ANOTHER BOY (3RD BOY). I WAS CONVINCED THAT THAT WAS ENOUGH CHILDREN FOR ME BACK THEN, AT THE AGE OF 30. THEN I TRAGICALLY LOST 2 TEENAGERS. THEY WERE GIFTS FROM HEAVEN ONLY LOANED TO ME FOR A SHORT TIME. A BOY OF 18 YEARS AND A GIRL OF 15 YEARS. MY MARRIAGE BROKE UP. THEN I MET ANOTHER LOVE AND MARRIED AGAIN. MY GROWN UP DAUGHTER RANG ME ONE DAY TO INFORM ME SHE WAS EXPECTING AND I BECAME VERY CLUCKY AND EXCITED AT THE THOUGHT OF A NEW BABY IN OUR LIVES. IT  FELT WONDERFUL.
THE NEXT THING I KNEW ,I WAS EXPECTING TOO. I THOUGHT I WAS PAST EVER BECOMING A MOTHER AGAIN, BUT I'VE NEVER REGRETTED HAVING MY BOY, WHO IS 14 NOW. I WAS BLESSED WITH A GIRL 2 YEARS LATER.SHE IS 12 NOW.I TREASURE THEM.
MY ELDER DAUGHTER IS IN HER 30'S NOW AND HAS 4 OF HER OWN CHILDREN. SHE RECOGNS IT'S WIERD HAVING SIBLINGS THE AGES OF HER OWN CHILDREN. I AGREE WITH HER FEELINGS ON THE MATTER BUT I LOOK AT IT FROM MY SIDE OF THE COIN AND I THINK HOW FORTUNATE I AM.
