Took me a little while to wrap my puny little head around it.

Congratulations...

All three of my kids are grandparents, and since I'm now a great-grandmother, I know just what you mean about the time warp.

Congrats again! What fun you're going to have being a great-aunt. (By the way, I prefer grand-aunt.)

...I was an aunt at the age of 9, a great-aunt before I was 30, and I am now a great-great-aunt. And I'm only 55. (Doncha just love family? Enjoy!)
