Only place I can spill the beans is here!

My eldest daughter and her boyfriend are expecting a baby mid October. Our first grandchild. We are beyond excited.

Then I just got a message from my sister that her daughter is expecting her 3rd baby mid September.

I sooooo want to tell my sister about my daughter’s news, but I cant’t!

Please help me celebrate and I have to decide what I will be called!

Eh? Why can't you tell her? Can't you both share the excitement over both babies together?

Or has your DD asked you not to?

Sorry - I should have said. Daughter is only 9 wks gone and wants to wait til 12 weeks to tell a wider audience.

Ah, that makes sense. You will be able to tell your sister before you know it though, and then can share the excitement together. How nice to have cousins so close in age!

I’m veering towards Nanna I think. I had a Granny and a Nanna but my Granny died when I was quite young so I was more familiar with my Nanna and she was lovely.
