How nice of you to fly Grandma out to see the baby! I wish you a happy baby, healthy mom, and speedy delivery.

I was glad to have my mom around during my three children's arrivals. But she is one in a million, inobtrusive yet very willing to babysit.

KathyMoore, dear, it's not the college fund that's a problem. College is easy to do. It's the car insurance for teenagers that you need to sock away money for. When the baby learned to drive and we had five cars and three teenagers (and a motorcycle) on the policy, I thought I was going to have to live in a cardboard box for a while!
