Awwwwww......you are the cutest grandma ever! It is awesome that you can play such a huge role in your grandaughter's life already. Make sure to not smother your daughter's parenting, but get in all the precious moments you can with the new baby. They grow so fast!

This must be your first... CONGRATS! =)
IMO - as long as you don't overstep your bounds - such as interfering with the doctor's examination of the baby or the way your daughter is raising her (unless she doing something harmful or abusive) you should be fine. I've seen grandparents come in with the parent and child and just take over. They question everything the doctor says and does, and use the "Grandma knows best" defense - to me, that's overstepping the bounds. It's fine to ask if you have a question or throw in your opinions, but don't act like everyone else around you just fell off a turnip truck... I would think your daughter didn't pick a doctor who got his or her license from a Crackerjack box, and I'm willing to bet she's not a moron either, so you're doing okay, there, Grandma! Enjoy her! (Until she's a teenager and family just isn't cool... LOL)
Besides, with the title of Grandma comes the right to spoil 'em rotten!! =)

Have an honest heart to heart talk with yuor daughter. If she honestly feels that you arent going overboard and she isnt bothered by anything you do then keep going. But... I can tell you from experience that sometimes its hard for a daughter to tell her mother that she is being over bearing and needs to back off a bit. Make sure you let your daughter know that you will listen to what she has to say and wont get upset - that way she can behonest with you about the way she feels. Like I said, if she is ok with it than I dont see a problem.

I like your avatar of a basset hound. If your daughter doesn't mind all the attention that you give to her and the baby then I wouldn't worry about it. Everyone is different as I was a little overwhelmed with my mother when I had my daughter so she backed off a bit. I live 3 hours away from my daughter and she loves it when I come to visit her and my 2 grandsons. That is when I spoil the heck out of all of them.

I think your excited to have a new grand baby and you want to spend some time with her.
The new ness will soon wear off and you won't be so obsessive.
When I first had my baby I was like that too and although i still am it isn't as bad. i mean i didn't want any one holding her i want to be the one with her all the time. I didn't want to go back to college or work, i just wanted to stay home with her. I took her with me everywhere i went.
She is three months now and i am a bit more relaxed. I go to work but third shift now and I will go to school. I still take her most of the time with me everywhere else but I will leave her at home if I have to.

Yes.. You are probably over doing it, but since she lives with you it must be hard not to.. Don't worry about it now.. Just don't spoil the baby.. She may be all cute and innocent now, but she'll get older and if she's used to being spoiled by you than that won't be good.. I'm sure you know all this since your a mom, but just don't over do it too much...

I think that its great that you want to be around your daughter and granddaughter so much. You might want to be careful, because your daughter need to know that she can take care of her baby by herself. I remember when they told me that I was free to leave the hospital and my husband and I had to take the baby home. I was really scared, but I think that it was the best thing, because we learned to take care of the baby on our own.

I think it sounds great--you are young and your daughter must be young, so the extra support and love for her and the baby has got to be a wonderful, positive thing for all of your family!
Congrats! and Enjoy!

first off your spelling is fine. second if your daughter doesn;t feel smothered by your actions then you are fine. The key is to take your cues from your daughter, if she starts pulling back then try to tone it down a little bit.

As long as your daughter and her husband are fine with it, who cares what other people think. I applaud you makeing your grandchild a priority. There are a lot of kids out there who don't have that.
