1. Congrats!
It's the most amazing thing evah!

Of course, I'm a grandmother, so it might be a little different for me!

But still.......a grandchild!

When's the baby arriving?

3. Oh, good!
Is this your daughter's or your son's child?

Hopefully you're not too far away so you can enjoy watching the baby grow up!

Good luck with the labor!

:)

4. My son's and his lovely wife's
Far enough away that I won't be doing much baby-sitting.

5. I hear you on that!
My daughter and her family are 50 miles away...

No babysitting!

But still close enough to see them now and then!
