I do not have a face to see,
Or to put inside a frame.
I do not have soft cheeks to kiss,
I don't yet have a name.
You can't yet hold my tiny hands,
Nor whisper in my ear.
It's still too soon to sing a song,
Or cuddle me so near.
But all will change come March 1st,
That's when they say I'm due.
I'm your new grandson or granddaughter,
I can't wait till I meet you.
All I ask between now and then,
Is your patience while I grow.
I promise I'll be worth the wait,
Because of all the love we'll know.
So what I have to give you now,
is a wish to you from me.
I cannot wait to be a part
Of this wonderful family.

What wonderful news. I am so happy for you. It seems so foreign but I am betting being a grandmother is almost as priceless as being a mom....so my siblings tell me.
Congrats.
Oh, Dawn--what wonderful news--congratulations! You will LOVE, LOVE, LOVE being a grandmother! Today I was in Borders (again--can't seem to stay out of that place) with my daughter, and I saw your pincushions in Romantic Country--they're beautiful--I showed my daughter your article in Somerset Studio, and she said, "Wow, that's really beautiful!" Smiles, Jann

Oh Dawn! I'm so happy for you and your family!!! I can see the light of your "beam" way up here in Gwinnett County!!!! I think you need to start a little art journal for this grandbaby recording all your sweet thoughts for him or her. Wouldn't that be a thrill to have your Mimi hand something like that over to you when you're all grown up? Talk about a priceless treasure...just like your news!
xoxo
Sue

Dear Dawn, I remember the day that we were told about the new life coming into our life. I was there when she (Kayla) took her first breath and forever I became Grandma. Now we have 6 Grandchildren and they are all so dear in me, I can't think about our life without them. You are going to be a wonderful Grandmother, so creative. Kayla grew with glue on her figures and paint in her hair. And the memories of her as a baby, a little girl and now a young Lady is worth more than anything.
Congrats, Mary (Grandma)
Congratulations! Now you'll have to keep your eye out for more baby things!! What happy days ahead!
based on my limited (not quite 2 yrs) experience as a grandma, it is a blast. She is just everything I loved about my own kids. I like to think that I (and others who are becoming grandmas) do not look like the grandmas we had -- we are just sooo much younger! Congrats!!!
what wonderful news, Dawn! Know you're excited and already planning some lovely treasures for the baby.
Jane - Jacksonville
What a lovely way to make an announcement - and congratulations.
warmest smiles!
Enjoy every moment-there is nothing else that compares to becoming a grandparent. Our Hannah will soon be 4 months old. I never dreamed that being a grandma could be this rewarding. I can't get enough of her! Watching your son become a father will be such a joy. I love to watch my son and his daughter together.
Sue
Congratulations, Dawn; what wonderful news!
Congratulations, "Mimi". What a wonderful thing. I know you will have fun creating grandbaby art and planning for the sweet arrival.
There is nothing better!
Congratulations Dawn!
Having grandchildren is like opening Christmas presents everytime they come to visit! May you make wonderful memories!
Blessings to You!
Claudia O.
My mother swears that there is no greater joy. I trust she's right. CONGRATULATIONS!!
Oh, I am sooooo thrilled for you! I am blessed with four grandchildren and they are all SO VERY PRECIOUS to me! xo
Janice
Ah Dawn!!! Welcome to my world. Such joy on earth ~ nothing compares... I have three beautiful boys to love on and, as my daughter lovingly says, I am just "freaky" about those babies. I thought the love I felt as a parent was special, but there is so much more that is special when you become a grandparent. This Mimi wishes you many hugs and kisses to come!
Oh my gosh. That is the best news Dawn. Congratulations of the wonderfulness that is to be called grandbaby.
Lisa & Alfie
Dawn how wonderful.
Believe me there is nothing like it, words can not describe the feeling when you first see and hold one of the most wonderful creations in the world - your very own Grandbaby
Alison
I'm so happy for you!! My son and daughter-in-law had my first grandchild (a boy, Sawyer) on Wednesday!!! He is beautiful! I don't know what he will call me yet, but I am thrilled to be a grandmother!
Congratulations!
Dawn, I am so happy for you! xoxo Nita
