We be Preggers
Hello world! Yenari and I are having a baby, and we’re telling our story just for you. We’re both really excited about it – nervous too, but thrilled to have the loving support of our friends and family. We decided to put up this baby blog as a way to let you know what’s going on with us and to help us chronicle the 9 months for ourselves. I (Greg) will likely be the main author here, but I’m really just dictating the words of ‘the boss’ (Yenari, not Bruce Springsteen).
They say – ‘first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby in the baby carriage’ – well, almost…there’s also a little matter of 9 months of pregnancy, and that’s what we’re into right now!
And now…coming soon, we’ll catch you up on the last 2 doctor’s appointments and even give a belly shot!

First comes love, then comes marriage, then pregnancy (glossed over in the little poem, as Greg has observed),THEN comes the baby blog, AND THEN comes the baby! As the paternal grandmother-to-be here, I’m as thrilled about the baby as I was about the wedding. I thought I might use this platform to solicit opinions: what should the baby call me? My mom is Nana to everybody (even the hairdresser), so I can’t usurp that; Grandma doesn’t quite suit me, or at least I hope it doesn’t quite suit me; Grandmother might require that long-overdue personality change. I’m considering Gram, which evokes not only white haired ladies but also Gram Parsons, grandfather,as it turns out, of alt country. Not much of a role model in terms of personal lifestyle, though. Any name suggestions for me and/or Duncan?

You could start off with Nana and assume the kid will call you whatever he/she wants. I know of a case where the grandma wanted to be called “Nana” but since her granddaughter had a friend named Anna, the friend got called Little Anna and the grandmother got called Big Anna. Or you could cut the confusion and just go with Big Connie.
