I am going to be a nan-- gulp

[doormat]

Hi girls

"Hi Mum- you are going to be a nan"

GULP

DD1 is pg and now living in Germany.

I am going to be a nan.
Gobsmacked is not the word as i feel i am too young at 36.
But i have got used to the idea now but those words hit me like a ton of bricks.

Dd is getting married asap. Her fiance is a lovely lad.

I will defy nanahood by still wearing my mini-skirts
dh has said i am too old now

I am pretty sure dd1 will be rooting through these boards.

Good grief, I was a year older than you when I became a mum!

Congratulations to all!

Congratulations doormat !!! Wow a nana - so exciting. Congratulations to your dd too. Look forward to meeting her on here

That is so cool. They'll have to set up a new topic: grandparents.

Congratulations!

Congratulations - gosh, how young to be a granny! Definitely keep wearing the mini skirts, I would if my legs were up to it (I'm 37)

Doormat .... what fantastic news ...
Your lucky grandchild will know you when he/she grows up ... wonderful

congrats doormat! and so it begins - mumsnet, the second generation, with your dd posting here.

Just think, you'll be a mother in law too - and a groovy one by the sound of it!

In years to come I wonder how many of our offspring will use these boards? will they dig up old threads about them and add mesages years later stating their own views an issue we've discussed....eek!

many congrats doormat - You'll be the best gran by far - all that experience to pass on!

Congratulations to doormat and your daughter

Very exciting - I hope my children have children young, I'd love to be a young granny

Congratulations nanadoormat!! Dh's brother got married at 33 and immediately became a step-grandad! (his wife is a bit older than him ) He's not actually a Dad himself!

BLIMEY !! Is this your lovely DD who went out to Iraq ? Many congratulations to you and yours. When is the little 'un due ? Wedding AND baby planning, how exciting Are the other kids excited about becoming aunties/uncles ?

It took my Mum a long old time to come to terms with becoming a nanna in her early 40's. DH and I told her when we were 10 weeks in, and she was still very distant about it up to around 35 weeks ! Of course now that DD is here she wonders what all the fuss was about .

Thanx again for all the congrats

I never thought about the second generation bit of mumsnetters

If she has just found out (obviously she conceived around xmas and new year)

I havent found out about the due date as yet

cant wait to be a nan though

Congratulations! I have always wanted to be a grandma. I never really wanted children that much, but had them just so I can become a grandma. Lucky you!

doormat, I've only just caught up with this, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! What a glamorous grandma (and lovely nan) you will be!

Wow doormat, how amazing. All the fun and none of the responsibility! Perfect!

Tee hee, I read the thread as 'I am going to be a man'

Congratulations

Congrats Doormat!

Brilliant - congratulations doormat and doormat's dd1! You and grandad dh must now start behaving as irresponsibly as possible....

Many Congratulations Doormat Should chance your name now to GrandmaDoormat

At least you get to be a young nan who the grandchildren will want to stay with and play with - you will be the fun nan they talk about at school to all of their friends

Congratulations, doormat!

Does this mean you'll be asking Tech to put in a "Grannies/Grandads" section soon?

Congratulations to your dd too.

WOW! Congrats Doormat. A Nan at 36.... .WOW again.

How exciting Doormat! Congratulations to you and your dd!

Wow, doormat, great news, just think you get all the good bits and then give em back!

Congrats
Grandchildren are god's reward for not strangling your own kids!!!!
