Hehe, that's really an interesting family that you have.
I am not even a father, but my parents becomes grandparents when they were 50, when my Bro. & Sister in-law gave birth to two twin nephews.
All my family love the twin boys very much, their names are Zhongwen Liu & ZhongRen Liu, which are Chinese Names.

I became a grandmother at 43. My grandson is 12 and my granddaughter is 10. My grandson is named after his father, Todd William, Jr. and my granddaughter is Angela Renee. They're my pride and joy, along with their mother, my beloved daughter Kristie.

Wow - I'm 27 and I don't even have any children. I'm sure they bring a lot of joy to your life though. My mum was 40 when she first became a grandmother through my older half sister.
It stands to reason that if I do end up having children, I'll be quite a bit older than you before I become a grandparent.

Well I almost beat you...but thankfuly didn't! We would have had one about 9 months ago (when I was still 27) but the girlfriend was very young and miscarried. My step son is only 17 now so it was for the best for everyone involved. He's with a different girl now and she is also 17. They are being careful BUT nothing is 10%. I will probably be a grandma by 30 or so. After him we have a 15 year old girl, an almost 12 year old girl,a 9 year old boy, a 7 year old girl, a 4 1/2 year old boy, a 2 1/2 year old boy and a 10 1/2 month old boy...yeah I was due just 7 weeks earlier than the baby that didn't happen. Just imagine having an uncle that close in age! They are Anthony, Andrea, Lilly, Troy, Katle, Ryan, Evan and Nicholas (I think the girlfriend called the baby either Keri or Kasey since it was too early to know if it was a boy or girl)
