Just call me Oma........

Wow, it has been a long time since I have posted! The holidays were wonderful yet crazy! I promise to try harder to post on a more regular basis. I hope everyone's holidays were wonderful and filled with lots of blessings.
My Honey and I and all our collective children (7, all together) and our families had a lovely time over the holidays. We were extra blessed this past weekend to find out that we are going to be grandparents, again!...The first time for me!!!! Yeah!......our first grandbaby is Anthony, My Honey's oldest dtr's son, now my oldest daughter is pregnan! I am so happy for her and her man! I wish only happiness, health and a FUN pregnancy for her.
I've decided to accept the grandmotherly title of "Oma" (german for "grandma") for myself. My own Oma is deceased and my mother is Omi (german version of "granny" or "nana") so I'm going to carry on the tradition of my family and take Oma as my grandma name.........it is a tribute to my own Oma.....
You will notice the babyticker I placed on the left, now we can all watch my grandbaby as he grows (yes, I said "he", that's what my Oma-witchy-sense is telling me), that's my story and I'm sticking to it, until the baby is born and proves otherwise....lol.
Thank you Kelli Lincoln for posting this babyticker on your own blog, I loved it when I first saw your baby and now I have passed this on to Vanessa and she is so excited!

May everyone's day be filled with laughter and love!

Congrats, Oma! How exciting! I found your blog through the Sunday Strolls in a Quiet Country Home and I just LOVE your baby ticker! Hoping I'll have an opportunity to use that at some point in the future when I, too, will surely be picking a very special name for "grandma," too! Stay warm!
