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!

BRANDON TAKES HEAT, BRITT IS A YORK


Beach Baby should know her father is a sports fan. He has a few favorite teams and some teams are, well, less than favorite.

Take the Miami Heat for example. Take LeBron James.

Although Brandon is a graduate of the University of Miami, he is NOT a fan of the, Heat.

Why?

Well, that is something he can discuss with Beach Baby at some point in the future.

Co-workers at the law firm where B hangs his shingle, had some fun and adorned his car with Heat scribble. King LBJ? Oh, yeah.

It rained on it, but I still managed to get a quick snap. I mean, that stuff is a keeper.

Heat, heat, baby!

York patties.


I love 'em.

Brittany?

Not so much.

This has worked out just GREAT. I buy a large bag of York peppermint patties and have them almost all to myself. Gerry will eat them, but not that many.

Guess what Brittany is enjoying now that she is in Week Twenty-Something?

Yes. York peppermint patties!

She SAYS it is all for Beach Baby.

That is her story and she seems to be sticking to it.

Yeah, we gonna need a BIGGER bag.

Crave on, Britt!

UPDATE: POTHOLDERS OR A BLANKET FOR THE BABY

Surfer Girl has a very creative and artist mother. Britt is a dancer (went to the Performing Arts High School in Dallas), painter and now she is a crochet-goddess. Well, she's crocheting.


What is this that she is working on so diligently?

Well, let us get back to how Britt bought all the ingredients to crochet a baby item. And, it is either going to be a pink and white lanet, OR potholders.

Yeah, it all depends on how it goes.

Britt is making squares (she needs like forty-leven-dozen or something) and, at some point, they will need to be sewn together to complete the blanket. Don't look at me.

Of course, I have complete faith in HER ability. Listen, I can't knit, crochet or any of that as I have previously stated, so I'm not judging (little bit).

No matter, I love how they look. Besides, if these don't magically transform into a coverlet, there is the possibility of setting up a little booth in the Publix parking lot (before they have us arrested) to sell these squares as potholders. Crochet yawn is heat-resistant, right?

Stay tuned.
