we hope you don't mind waiting that long to become a Grandma again!

Also with 'grandparents' & 'Auntie'
Also struggling with phrasing 'Uncle, Auntie & Cousins'

Also with 'grandparents' & 'Auntie' Also struggling with phrasing 'Uncle, Auntie & Cousins' I doubt whether it is logical to use the wording "to be/become a grandma again". Once a grandma, you're a grandma, aren't you?

Either "be" or "become" is OK. You can use the same sentence for "a cousin", "an uncle", "an auntie", "an uncle" or "grandparents."
