my side, Gremlin will be number 4, granddaughter number 3
on hubby's side, well both his parents are gone, and he is estranged from his sisters, but from memory she will be
grandchild number 6, grandaugter number 2
but DH's family all had their kids earlier, so Gremlin also has second cousins that are older than her quite significantly - 3 older girls, one boy
kinda sad that Gremlin won't ever get a chance to know her paternal grandparents, and will have limited contact with only two of her second cousins (without their parents around due to the estrangement) - good thing the maternal family are champing at the bit for her to arrive and join the family!
My children were the first grandchildren on both sides. either my bro nor DH's sister had a baby until after Riley was born! My poor DDs had no cousins until they were 15 and 7!!
DD1 was the first great grandchild all round too and had my mum's parents until she was 5 (my grandad) and 13 (my grandma and DH's pop) and 15 (DH's grandma)
Sadly my brother's kids and my DS will never know my mum as she died 7 years ago.
Mine are both the first an only on both sides so far. Aaron's side it will probably be quite a while before there are any other than ours, his brother's girlfried is at uni for the next four years so at least not til after then. On my side it will probably be in the next two years would be my guess. Both sisters will be married by mid next year & I think are both keen to have kids fairly soon.
My Mum`s side of the family:
DS#1 - 5th Grandchild (2nd Grandson)
DS#2 - 6th Grandchild (3rd Grandson)
Ds#3 - 7th Grandchild (4th grandson)
My dad`s side of the family (dad has grandchildren in the UK but we don`t know how many so can only go on the children I have and my younger sister)
DS#1 - 2nd Grandchild
DS#2 - 3rd Grandchild
DS#3 - 4th Grandchild
DH`s side of the family:
DS#1 - 9th Grandchild (6th Grandson)
DS#2 - 10th Grandchild (7th grandson)
DS#3 - 11th Grandchild (8th Grandson)
DH`s side has done well considering there is only DH and his older sister.
This could take a while... I'll start with DH's family because I can work it out *way* quicker.
DH's side - DH was the baby of his family
#7 - Lyta (Grand daughter #2)
#8 - Sam (Grand son #6)
#9 - Harry (Grand son #7)
#10 - Phoebe (Grand daughter #3)
My Side - I am middle of 7
#2 - Angie (Grand daughter #2)
#5 - CJ (Grand Son #3)
#9 - Lyta (Grand Daughter #6)
#10 - Sam (Grand Son #4)
#15 - Harry (Grand Son #7)
#21 - Phoebe (Grand Daughter #13)
Of the three "Expecting" at the moment, Phoebe will be the next born, so that will be a total of 23 "Grandies" for my parents. -- The last time my Sister and I worked it out we got the revelation that between us, we made half of them.
