Wow Coyote that is big news. Take some time and let it digest and we are all here if you want to celebrate or vent :)
I think I would be more upset that I learned the news by text - not the news itself... It will take some time to absorb but maybe we can have a special baby package train for your grand baby!Quote:

Congrats Garbagepicker :)
[QUOTE=garbagepicker;5291503]Soon to be grandmas, please remember that phones and planes go in both directions. I've just started ww3 with dh's family regarding this concept. I have resolved that I won't be returning to the soo until they make an appearance down here for somethimg other than hockey tournaments. Now Don's annoyed with me etc. Whatever. If your DIL invites you to stay for a week in July when you're off work, the correct response is NOT "uhhh...why would we do that? "Quote:

Anywho, I definitely understand that your sons are very young to be having children of their own, so I'm sure there are undigestable feelings, however at this point, what's done is done. For better or worse. All you can do now is focus on the wee one that will be coming and help the parents prepare as best as possible (I mean mentally, not with "stuff") for the chaos that is going to ensue. It's going to be a big kick in the a$$ for them...that's for sure.
A tee me and my little buddy made for him yesterday
:)

Pammie,for sure!
DH's parents have been awesome for coming here A LOT and filling my freezer when the new babies came etc and I will certainly try and do the same..but I still have a 3 year old and hope to have another so it is more a personal reckoning...a Baby is always a cause for Joy and it will be tough but they will figure it out.. I am just not ready!! I also wonder how it will be for DS(3) he will have a new buddy but also will his big bro will be a Dad..having feelings I never considered before! As fas as the Happy Couple go we have nothing but Love and support for them and all of little Bro's baby gear! LOL!

Yah...that's rough. I can't even begin to imagine the mix of feelings you have....families/generations are super crazy.Quote:

DH and I were both the first ones on both sides to give them their first grandchild, and we were only 20 and 21. It was a long road to try to make ourselves and our families ready for what we were about to face, but it was our parents support that we were able to make it work. Now 13 years later, we are going strong and wouldn't change a thing. If not for our parents support instead of bad feelings, I am not sure we would have been able to hold it together in the begining.
Just my thoughts on what can be a rough situation. Coyote and GP, you will both be wonderful grandparents :)
Congrats future grandma's! I know it's a lot of digest all at once but with love & support from family these darling little ones will be a blessing :)
