Charity and Josh showed up at house last Sunday night with a late Christmas present. Since I’ve been known to give silly, goofy presents I thought that’s what they were up to.
The present was for both me and Vaughn – when I opened …. I thought what is this? something for the dog? a dog shirt?
And then I pulled it out – a bib! On my word!!
Yes, my oldest girl, Charity, is expecting! I’m beyond thrilled and so is Vaughn. We cannot wait for this baby to get here, but wait we will and pray and plan and enjoy every moment of this.
I am so excited about this pregnancy by proxy – I get to enjoy each step of the way, shop for all manner of baby stuff, and watch that baby grow in her belly. I’ll get the joy of spoiling him or her rotten and then sending her or him home to Mom and Dad.
All the fun of parenting without all the stress of getting it all right. I get to love on, hug, cuddle, rock and coo over a baby without having to handle all the other junk.
I’m in the midst of planning my name —
Gran, MeMe, Gigi, Gaga (maybe not), MawMaw (nope), Granny (no!), and from my friend Janet – GranMary!
So not only am I getting new name, I’m taking on a new role. This is an incredible blessing! And trust me, I’ll keep you posted on this blessing!
I’m so excited for you and your family! I really can’t wait to see her sweet preggy pictures!
Woooooo hoooooo!!!! So so so happy for all of you!!
Enjoy the ride sister!
Love ya!

Congrats to you on this new role. The first one is the most special..so enjoy every minute of it.
Personally I like Grannylicious! 🙂
You’re going to be SUCH a fun grandma!

Congratulations! You never know about the name…sometimes the grandchildren decide for you! My grandmother wanted to be called just that…”Grandmother”. Unfortunately, the closest her first grandchild could get to pronouncing that was “Putter”. It stuck. lol Putter was a wonderful grandmother!
My husband’s sister wanted to the called “Grandma”. Her first grandchild called her “Blah-Blah”. Again…it stuck!
Soooo….good luck with the name choice! But, don’t be surprised if your grandchild calls you something entirely different! 😉
So happy for you, Mary!
I am with Beth-sometimes it’s what the kiddo can or will say…I like GiGi since you are Mary Regina?
No matter what, it will be music to your ears!
soooo happy for them- and for you 🙂
Congratulations Mary. Must admit I like GrandMary best. You will never get confused with the other Grandma.
SO EXCITED!!!
Can’t wait to see what you choose for your name
and of course I can’t wait to see what Charity has
boy or girl!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Congratulations on the happy news–I love love love Gran!
Congratulations!! My friend’s grandchildren call her “G”. I really like that.
Keep us updated.

Woohoo! So exciting! My mom is GG….but for you, I love GranMary!! 🙂
Don’t be surprised at what they come up with on their own….my Mom ended up being Coken thanks to my next to oldest nephew…..we never did figure that one out……lol….
My personal choice is ‘Grannylicious GranMary”!! (may be too much of a mouth full!!) Too cute! My sister wants to be called ‘Big Mama’ – she is skinny and why she wants this I’m not quite sure! Don’t forget about Vaughn’s name! My favorite for him would be DoDad! BTW did you know this last Monday night?!!! Just askin’! Congratulations!!
Love ya!
