Awww.....that's so sweet! Of course it's normal........your baby girl is having a baby. It wouldn't matter if she was 29, you'd probably still feel the same way. For some people 19 would be far too young to be married and having a child, but for others it is exactly the right time. She has you for a dad, so I'm sure everything will be just fine. Congratulations grandpa!! (((Don)))

Congratulations, the birth of a new child is a most joyous occasion :)
"I wonder whether their (babies) attraction does not lie in something more than merely physical attributes. Is it not the thought of a life stretching out like a shining clean slate on which might one day be written the most beautiful prose and poetry of existence that engenders such joy in the hearts of the parent and grandparents of a newly born child? The birth of a baby is an occasion for weaving hopeful dreams about the future"

Life is long and the ends of which are beyond our sight.
Children are a blessing. The children that I thing Gods oversight the most I bring to the altar for prayers. Pray for your daughter & husband that they begin to be more parental and do the right thing in raising the child.

Congratulations!
I think it is normal. I cried when my only daughter was born. I was 21 my wife was 18.
After reading some of the answers you got it looks like we need the option to be able to delete BAD answers such as some of these. Some of these people have no decency at all.

I would tend to agree with maggie rose & gabbymac!
Perhaps there are issues your not sharing, that are adding to your tears? But all in all...I pray that Jesus will surround you with His Peace that surpasses all understanding!
That the Joy in your heart will be awesome!
Congradulations...
God gives the world a blessing in the percious life of a New born baby.

I'll pray with you and for them b/c I understand the need. For those who don't understand, it's not about "the baby" it's about all the things after the baby. Think about your little girl who you've raised, watch her grow up into a young lady, give her away to a man and now they're going to have a baby. Cut dad some slack. God Bless!!!!!! Be happy that at least she wanted to please God that much where she got married before sex and babies.

i will pray, but i'm sure she will be just fine, she's grown, young yes, but grown none the less, and if you raised her then i'm sure she has a good head on her shoulders, be happy and rejoice in the gift god is giving you. i was 15 when i had my first baby, that was too young, but i did fine, so i know she will be ok, she has you and your wife, her husband, all of your family, that's a lot of support. you'll get used to the idea soon enough and be so happy. there is a reason god wanted her to have this baby, it was meant to be a part of his plan. just be glad that you get to be a part of it's life. congratulations, god bless.

The feeling for me has been bittersweet. You have lost your baby girl forever, but in return she is a grown woman and mother, and you have gained a grandbaby. Maybe you need to focus on each part of that separately to process your feelings. I don't see anything crazy.

It's quite normal for a dad to freak out when his little girl is growing up... My father spent the 9 months of my first pregnancy in tears telling me "You can't be having a baby you are my baby."
He acted the same way when I told him I was getting married... Remember the scene in Father of the Bride where the father sees his daughter as a little girl when she says "I'm getting married."
It's a dad thing try and relax a little your daughter isn't a little girl anymore she is a grown married woman... Yes she had sex, yes she is having a baby accept it and move on...
