When she starts to teach herself to knit (whilst drinking wine)!!!
You should see some of the things my mum has made for DD.
She knows that are 'at home' clothes as some of them have a few dropped stitches. Can tell when mum started to get blotto!
Dad used to say to me on the phone, "Your mother has been knitting for the baby, but she does it while she's having a wine in the evening so not sure what you will think about it"
I was 20 when I found out I was pregnant with jayvan, and CRAPPING myself at telling Mum even though we had been together for 4 years, bought a house together etc...
As soon as we told her she offered... or maybe demanded is a better word? XD... that she'd babysit ><;;
My Mum was very excited - I believe the words "about time" where a part of the first conversation! We waited until about 9 weeks to tell any beyond immediate family and close friends. I've never seen her smile the way she did when she first held her granddaughter.
My MIL was also very excited, but waaaay too excited, in a kind of 'The Hand That Rocks The Cradle' fashion. It's a fine line between enthusiasm and manic obsession.
