One of my daughters-in-law is finally about to make my spouse and I grandparents for the first time this October. We (my spouse and I) are putting a baby shower on for her this Saturday, and have been putting a lot of effort into getting ready over the past several weeks. Tomorrow is a day for some final prep work, including finalizing some of the food, and then hopefully relax until Friday evening.

Friday we can get in to the venue to set up tables and decorations after 5PM, and then back Saturday around 10AM to finish up before everyone shows up for the shower. We are about $1500 invested in this so far, and it would be a lot higher if it weren’t for a lot of my spouse’s sisters chipping in with deserts, etc. Sometimes her being one of fifteen siblings is a definite advantage, lol. I am still trying to figure out why we are spending what we are, but my spouse and my daughter-in-law are having fun, so I just keep my mouth shut.

Anyway……. Here is we’re I need some advice. Everyone is after me as to what I want to be called when the baby is born. My spouse is looking at several things, like “Grandma” or maybe “Nona” or “Nanna”. It has been suggested that I use “Oma” as German is my second language and I have a habit of slipping into it occasionally. There is also “Mhamo’” or “Seanmhair” as my family heritage is Scottish Gaelic and both of those were commonly used in my extended family.

So, suggestions????
