DD#1 told me this morning that she is pregnant! ;D 13 weeks, due
January 20.
I'm so happy and excited I haven't stopped smiling. My first
grandchild and my mother's first great grandchild. Just had to
share!

Congratulations! Now you need to decide what you are going to
be called. Grandma, Nana, Grammy, Gigi…. There are dozens of
nicknames out there.
We had an Oma in our family (German nickname).

My grandparents were Oma and Opa. I kinda like that ;D

Mazal tov! I'm so happy for you.
I wouldn't put too much thought into what you want to be called.
The first grandchild names the grandparents, and often, no
matter what anyone told them to call you, it ends up being
MooMoo or something. And you love it.
One of my friends' grandchildren call her "Happy." Another is
"Q."
In my case, I had neither a choice nor a kid-created name.
Nana, Grandma, and Bubbie are all "taken" in our family. I
figured the Jerusalem grandmother would be Savta (Hebrew for
Grandmother), so I thought maybe I could be Granny -- it sounds
so cheerful, like a Granny Smith apple. Nope. Jerusalem
grandmother, who is originally from Iran, is Mamani, the Farsi
word for grandmother (grandfather is Babajoon), and my daughter
informed us we would be Savta and Saba -- I didn't even get a
vote! I was kind of waiting for the first kid to come up with
something else, but he didn't. But as you can imagine, it's the
sweetest sound in my ear now.
The only downside is that every public place is full of little
voices calling "Savta!" so I'm always turning around.

It's so funny that whenever I tell someone that I'm going to be
a grandma, after congratulations and all that they ask me "What
do you want to be called?"
I always thought I'd leave it up to the child to call me
whatever they want to.
With my DDs I would have liked for them to call my parents Oma
and Opa. But they already had an Oma and Opa (their great
grandparents, who were still alive.)
DDs ended up calling their grandparents Grandma and Grandpa.
When we (parents) talked about one of their grandparents we used
Grandma FirstName.
