Just a little boast that I'm pleased to say my first Great Grandchild arrived 3wks early and here am I a thousand miles away in Gibraltar celebrating my youngest Grandson Louis 2nd birthday.
Welcome to the family Dylan James, 6lbs 3oz mum and baby doing well.

Golly tanith, do you remember thinking that great grandparents were obviously really old people? Now suddenly it's quite obvious that being a great grandmother is within the reach of many of us - and we still feel/are so young!! wink
Congratulations - I'm sure Dylan James is a gorgeous little fellow. flowers

Congratulations Tanith

I became a great grandmother to a baby boy last November. My granddaughter is 21 too, my family are early starters as well.
What I thought strange was that I was mother to a grandfather as my DS2 is just 43

tanith Sun 28-Jun-15 07:39:12

That's my thoughts exactly pink princess my DD2 is nearly 43 too. We also are 5 generations as my DD grandmother (ex MIL) is still alive at 90 yrs I have to try and get a 5generation photo.

Heavens tanith - you must be positively ancient! grin

Congratulations - how very exciting!

pinkprincess Sun 28-Jun-15 19:08:43

You must get that photo Tanith

tanith Sun 28-Jun-15 21:11:19

Feeling ancient after a busy day at the beach with 2yr old Louis but actually I'm 'only' 66 . I might maybe try to get a local paper to print it what thrill that would be for my 90yr old ex MIL.

Mother to a grandfather.... Heavens, I bet I'm not the only one still coming to terms with being mother to a father! grin
