Grandma . . . Granny . . . Nana . . . Nona . . . MawMaw . . . Me

So this happened . . .



Asher Rae was born on Sept 12 at 11:22pm.  He weighed 6.4 ounces and was 19 inches long.  Maddox is one happy uncle, and I am one reluctant Grandma.

Damian's birthday is today.  He is 21 . . . with a 4 day old baby.  I seriously don't think he really understands how much his life has changed.  They have stayed with us for the last 2 days (since Callie, his gf, got out of the hospital).  They told me last night that "they" are leaving today to go to Callie's apartment.  Remember, Damian still lives with us . . . but I have a feeling his stuff is living with us now, and he will not be there.

I don't know what to call myself to the baby.  I don't really want to be Grandma, and I refuse to be Granny.  I'm not sure if I like Nana or Nona, although the maternity nurse called me Nona and I liked it there.  Then on Friday morning I took Maddox to see the baby at the hospital and as we were leaving he looked at me with wonder and said "Mommy, you're MawMaw now."  (MawMaw is what my kids called my Mom).  I have been pretty adamant that I don't want to be MawMaw, because of my Mom, but when Maddox said that I thought it was cute, so now I don't know.

  1. Well congrats! This post surprised the heck out of me! (Ok probably less surprise than when they told you they were having a baby!). You are right...his life has forever changed...but you’ve raised him well...he will rise to the task!!! Enjoy the experience....this is one you can spoil and then send home!!! :-)
