Congratulations!! I am so over-the-moon excited for you, too! Hubby and I are eagerly awaiting for one of our married sons to make us grandparents. (One DIL has infertility problems, so we pray extra hard for them.)
My mom decided to be called "Ima" (ee-muh) which is "mother" in Hebrew. My firstborn (their first gr-child) couldn't pronounce "Grandpa"; it came out "Pappaw" which I thought was adorable. So they are Ima and Pappaw to all the grands.
My initials are ZZ. I've often wondered if I'd like to be called ZeeZee by grand. It's unique. I also like "Grammy" because it is a distinct identifier as GRANDmother, which I can't wait to become!! My hubby wanted to lay claim to being PopPop, but one of our sons is married to a woman whose parents "beat us to the punch" by becoming grandparents first, and they are PopPop and MeeMaw. So my hubs was disappointed but I told him that I think I'd like to be named by the grands. No doubt it'll be something cute.
I babysat for kids who always heard their mom call the in-laws by their first names "Louise" and "Jim" . So the grandkids called them Wooey and Dim. I love that!
