The Journey Journal

Join the journey of Brittany and Brandon as they move through the pregnancy months of their first child...as viewed and expressed by a first-time grandmother (appropriate name for me TBD). This is simply a collection of my observations. I'm not attempting to be profound, even if I could. Expected due date is October 29, 2012. We invite your thoughts, suggestions and encouragment. We're a little nervous, but crazy-happy! We welcome you to follow along!

READING, RANTING AND EDITING

We're at week something-or-other on the preg-o-meter, but I think Britt has just ended her fourth month. Calculating the weeks-vs-months thing, Lunar Months, etc., makes my head spin. So, let's move on to what we THINK is going on with Beach Baby Barker this week.


Britt tells me the BBB can hear now.

Hm.

My first reaction was that we should all begin to monitor and edit our vocabulary and salty language. Plus, we should select classic reading material, play better music and dial in more PBS stuff.

Of course, we will excuse Britt from the editing the language situation as her hormones continue to rage and she's free to rant while driving. Blue-speak while behind the wheel seems to be her current condition. Fine. She's decided to just go ahead and WARN the baby prior to an outburst directed at the idiotic drivers of South Florida (and, they really do drive you to BLUE language...cursing if you don't get my drift).

The way we see it, if she says "beach baby barker, cover your ears," she's good to go.

As for intellectual reading material for the baby, I've pulled out the standard one I used for Baby-Brandon. Yes, you can not go wrong with, The Goodnight Book, and I still have the one from his babyhood. It's worn, but still intact. If it was good enough for Brandon, I'll just stick, damnit. I mean darn it!!

  1. It's an absolute dream! I'm so afraid any moment I'll wake up and be just regular old Brittany. So far I wake up every morning with my baby beside me. Oh and guess what...I'm pretty sure I felt our little Barker move today! I'm going to say it was our little baby stretching and turning and not the notorious Prego Gas bubbles! I do declare I can't imagine loving someone so much that I've never met but I do!
