Poll: Help me come up with name other than grandma :::shutters at the sound of that word::: What sounds good?
So far my top choices are Nonna or Nonni.......but I just don't know. I like Nonna because it kinda sounds like my name and maybe that's what everyone will think the baby is saying.....right? hehehehe
So anyways....yesterday my daughter had an ultrasound to determine the gender of the baby. And without further ado.......drum roll please.
Brayden James is his name....unless that changes in the next few months.Once the situation with my daughter gets resolved (if that ever happens) and I get used to becoming a G-word at the ripe old age of 39 (I will just turn 39 about a month before the baby is due) it might be nice to have another boy in the family. I am dreading my son's graduation from high school because it will mean that all my children are grown and it signals the end of watching my children participate in extracurricular activities, as I have been doing for about the last 15 years. I enjoy it so much that I am not looking forward to the day when it is over.....but perhaps Brayden will fill that void with his own activites.
For all of you that have young children or will have them in the future I have just one word of advice for you.......treasure each and every day because I promise they will be grown long before you are ready for it. Last night DH and I saw a commercial for a new children's animated movie that is coming out and funny enough he said exactly what I was thinking.......I wish our kids were still little. It really hits home that they are grown and no longer want to spend every waking moment with you right around the holidays (we have to drag them practically kicking and screaming to the pumpkin patch and to look at Christmas lights) or when new children's movies come out and you know there is no way they are going to go see that with you. :::sigh:::

Congrats Rhonda! I really like Nonna, but see what Braydon says- thats what you will be!
Hope your classes are going well ;)
Hi Rhonda! I like Nonna as well, but of course he will proably call you whatever he decides he wants to :) I miss you on the ND board lately!
Aww, congrats!! I like Nonna, too!! Although, I still think they should call you gorgeous!!
**HUGS** Miss you sugar!!!
What about GILF???? ha ha
I hope Brayden fills that void of a young child in your heart!
Congrats!
My mom is Nana and is probably pronounced the same way as Nonna.
OMG, how did I miss this news? That's fantastic! Congratulations to your family!
I think "Nonna" is cute. My best friend always called her grandma "Nanna" and I thought it was sweet. My mom had us call her mom "Granny" and thinks that when we finally have kids she'd like to be called "Granny," too. I'm vehemently opposed.
I always called my mom's mother, "Nana." However, my friend's grandmother used to babysit me and my friend (instead of going to child care), and we always called her Nonnie. If I remember correctly, Nonna/Nonnie is Italian for the G-word, so it would be a perfect, cute way to get around it! Congrats again!!
