George W. Bush’s wish for a grandchild is finally coming true.

After a delay of a year or ten.

His daughter Jenna Bush Hager announced yesterday while appearing on The Today Show that she and her husband, Henry,  are going to have a baby in spring of 2013.

“I am fired up! Looking forward to it,” the 43rd president said about becoming a grandfather. “I am excited for Jenna and Henry, I could barely contain the news when I found out.”

As her father joined the show’s team via phone from Texas, Bush Hager greeted him, saying, “Hi Popsicle!”

The former president didn’t take well to the suggestion that his future grandchildren continue calling him that and suggested instead that he be called “sir” or “jefe.”
