Perhaps she has had troubles having children between you and this one, and has just been to upset to talk about it to anyone but her mother.

Or maybe it was just entirely irrelevant, and you're thinking too hard. Or possibly your mother had trouble with your childbirth (a lot of pain, complications, whatever), and your grandma's wishing her luck with not having that happen again.

wow that sucks. maybe she was talking about your childhood?

oh man, owned by grandma!

Ouch...I'm sorry. But you seem like a pretty nice guy (assuming you're a guy since your name is Tim). since you're helping clean up (I know that isn't much but still). And just wanted to say that I understand what it's like being an only child, since I'm 16 and have been one my whole life (no half-siblings either). So, congrats on your new sibling!

for those outside america: "baby shower" has nothing to do with - small rainfall - bathing an infant - bathing like an infant - delivering a newborn in the bathroom it was confusing >.> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_shower

You're all stupid. Maybe the mother was having problems having another kid, and the grandmother was hoping that wouldn't happen again.

FYL for your grandma dissing you like that, but YDI for going through other people's stuff. That's what you get for being a snoop!

I conquer with #8, she could have been talking about childbirth or hoping it was a girl this time. Btw I think it's a FYMother'sL if you are old enough to use the computer and clean up after a party, she's probably too old to be having kids... which would explain the trouble conceiving.

I think the first few posters were right. It's probably a reference to her pregnacies or childbirth, not to you personally.
