And on the evening of the NINTH day before due-date, Brittany indulges in a bowl of Neapolitan ice cream.
Well, she deserved it.
The ninth-day saw Britt undergo an unexpected test. Had to do with her, suddenly, rather swollen foot.
All is well, but a reward of ice cream is the perfect end to the day.
Brittany & Brandon with Beach Baby Barker, Surfer-Girl, on the way...let the journey journal begin!
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!

CATE'S CRAZY CLOSET
Eleven days until Cate's due date.
ELEVEN days and there are still things we haven't done.
Most of the major stuff? Yes.
Loving and caring family and friends have given and given beautiful and useful gifts. The baby registry at Babies 'r Us and Target is mostly fulfilled. Cate is so loved and she doesn't even know it. Yet.
Now, I admit we are lagging behind, just a bit, with the minor stuff.
Cate's closet still needs a little work (meaning there are some computer items lingering that need a new closet to hide in). We plan to remedy that situation this weekend.
Buying clothing and shoes for Cate is bordering on obsession and I am now having to be stern with myself while out shopping. NO MORE is my mantra!
She has over one-hundred outfits ranging in size from 0-Whatever.
We are utterly aware this is excessive, but we make no excuses. Besides, when she outgrows them, we will do the right thing and donate (not sell) to a worthy charity.
Crazy? Maybe.
But, come ON, girls just wanna have clothes, right?

GIGI AM I
Yesterday, we took Week 37 photos.
You know at this point Beach Baby is considered full-term. She's still movin' and groovin' with Brittany, but all organs are developed, etc. In other words, she's just soaking up the calories at this juncture.
So, guess what?
Think I have settled on my G-Mommy name and it is Gigi.
Here is Cate's, Gigi taking Week-37 photos of her Mama and Daddy.
Poor Cate. With a Gigi like me...well, I don't know exactly...I'm new to this.
Oh, if Cate isn't all that eager to call me, Gigi...it's up to her to come up with a moniker that suits her. I'm totally good and not a bit picky about the entire siutation. She can call me Pamme, if she wants.
