Granny Sazzy! 
Yup; DIL is pregnant. I am happy yet cautiously optimistic given their recent troubles. I wish I could be 'over the moon' happy, but such is life. 
I can't wait to be the crazy grandma that introduces my grandchildren to bugs, snakes, birds, hiking--and someday, wine!

Yay! Congrats to you, DS and DIL.
Don't you have some Italian in your ancestry? If so then wine introductions should begin around 5 or 6 don't you think? We have to honor our heritage after all.

Granny Sazzy! LOVE it. Does that come with a costume? or a rocking cane/hiking stick you can beat the young whipper snappers with if they reach for your wine without permission?

Yay, nonna!!
You're going to have that baby taking his/her first steps out on some trail along an East Texas swamp. I plan to be there with my camera and a canteen of wine. You know, as support.

DS, you are forever in my heart. Thank you for sharing your beautiful spirit with me. I will always try to live by the example you have set. I love you and miss you every day and am sorry you had to go so soon, it just doesn't seem fair.

Congrats Granny Sazzy.
Grandkids are the reward for not killing your kid when you had the chance.
I love being Grammy... no way to describe it... the kid is a tremendous amount of fun in a pint sized person.

Congrats Granny !!! (DS and DIL too !)
I feel similar with my new GS and his parents. They don't have the best relationship but keep working it on it. 
I've decided just love on the little guy and be the best Grandma.
Are they going to find out what sex the baby is ?
We were calling him P months before he was born.

It's my life now, my choices, my mistakes to make and my victories to celebrate. His choices made me free of liars and betrayers in my life. That is priceless.

Congrats, Sazzy (DS & DIL). Grandkids are the best thing. I agree with whoever said that you should have your grandchildren FIRST!
Finding what life could have been....... Why didn't I see it?

Congratulations!
No one changes unless they want to. Not if you beg them. Not if you shame them. Not if you use reason, emotion, or tough love. There is only one thing that makes someone change: their own realization that they need to.
