erin, you look beautiful as usual. it's true you have the natural love to be a great parent- that's really all it takes is love, PATIENCE, and priority. i take the baby's name is jordan, great name. where did the name derive from? i'm sure there is a story behind it, do tell. can't wait to see you. love you all, steph
Erin! Your hair is longer, you're tanned and beautiful, and you have a baba in your tum-tum! You do have that lovely glow and I'm so happy for you. This is fun and exciting. Anniversary coming up, too! love, Janet
Today I offended a "mother" by placing my hand on her belly that's one month farther along than you are. I just couldn't help it! Please be patient with us "old" mothers. My mother told me she used to hold other people's babies when she couldn't hold mine and I guess that's what I'll have to do here. This is harder than I thought it would be! But it's not about me! I love the love you and Ted are sharing. It blesses me. Janet
baba: anything small or something for which we hold affection. has come to mean, quite literally, *the* baba who is the subject of this blog
babski: baba with an eastern european flair. from watching all the nannies in prague wheel around their charges in bugaboo strollers. they (the babas) simply became babskis.
cell bundle: what we called the babski, pre-jordan and before the early ultrasound.
jordan: the placeholder name for the babski. we thought it was a funny non-gendered name, and monica's enthusiasm for it was infectious
morgan: the other non-gendered placeholder name that didn't make the final cut. ted couldn't stop saying "big 'm,' little organ," so we scrapped it in favor of jordan.
pupsandpups: erin and jordan, combined. ted's invention.
