Translation Help For New Pregnancy

[fungui]

Hello,

My wife and I recently found out that we are pregnant with our first child. My grandmother is Okinawan, and we refer to her and my grandfather as "Oba" and "Oji." We are wanting to make a baby bib for them as a way of revealing the pregnancy to them. I am wondering if Oba and Oji work for great grandmother/grandfather as well? I would like to have "I love my" in english, followed by the term for great grandma and great grandpa in Japanese.

Any help would be great!

Congratulations!

Your grandparents are Obaa (not Oba, which means aunt) and Ojii (not Oji, which means uncle).
Obaasan (grandmother) is often referred as Obaa (granny, gran, granma) and Ojiisan (grandfather) as Ojii (like granda).
To refer to your great grandparents, you can add Hii (hi-i, pronounced like he (as pronoun 'he') + e (alphabet's name)).
Hii Obaa, Hii Ojii should work, I think.

I love my ひいおばぁ ひいおじぃ
I love my ひーおばー ひーおじー

Both the above work perfectly.
