I thinks that is really nice, you are young enough to be able to run around with them and be a part of their lives for many years. Not many people are able to say that they knew their great grandparents!

Congratulations Mummo, thats great news.

I had my children at 28 and 35 so it will be a few years before any grandchildren come along.

My Aunt was a great grandma at 65
another Aunt was a great Aunt at 28, the same age as when her first child was born!

If we look at our ancestors it may be more common than we think.
