Hello little one. This is your Granny K. I'm going to be writing to you every week or so, keeping you informed of the goings on out here , while you're hiding away inside your Mommy's womb. You may think it's kind of silly: me writing to you, since you can't even read blogs yet. Even if you had fingers instead of flappers, you still don't really have big enough eyes to read these letters. Right now you only have two little dots on your wavy head. They could easily be mistaken for butterfly droppings if you were a flower, they are so tiny. That's OK! Granny K will read these to you some day.
So, Blueberry dear - let me tell you about you, and about this family you'll be moving in with. Let's start with you.
About your name, you don't have one yet. Your Mommy and Daddy have lots of cool names in mind for you, and they will pick one that is just right for you when the time is right. Probably when they find out if you will be a girl or boy. So instead of an official name, for this week, I'm calling you Blueberry. That is because a blueberry is the same size as your whole self. That's right, you are tiny! Your Mommy and Daddy think that you only started growing a few weeks ago, so in human terms, you are practically brand new!
Last week, before I started writing to you, everyone called you Sweet Pea. That is who you were when I first found out I will be a Granny. That was such an exciting week that now I will always think of a sweet pea as a delightful treat! As each week goes by, you will grow and grow, to be the size of different berries, then fruits, and then like melons, which are larger. When you are about 37 weeks "old", you will come outside to be with the rest of your family, and that day will be your Birthday. That will happen around January of the year 2018. Until then, you're in a place called "gestation". That means you get to grow inside a warm, cozy, and wonderful place that is just inside your Mommy. That's so she and your Daddy can keep you very safe.
About your Mommy and Daddy... there are so many things to say about them that it will take a whole book by itself. You will love living with them because they like to have fun, and they will make sure you have everything you need to grow up right. That is the job that parents do. It can also be a hard job because they love you so much that they will sometimes have to make sure you stay out of trouble or don't get hurt. That is very hard with growing Blueberry's because sometimes they will have to stop you from having adventures. I won't lie, sometimes their job will make you be sad or mad, but only for a little while. Then it's back to giggles and hugs.
Granny's, on the other hand, will make sure you have lots of toys and treats at all times! That's my job. And guess what else. You have lots more Grannies! Some are called other things - like Grandpa, or Auntie, or Uncle. All of them together are "family" and they all look forward to meeting you on your Birthday.
As you grow up, some of these family will teach you to go fishing, or fly kites, and some will play games with you, and some will just give you lots of hugs and kisses. Family has many different jobs to do and all of them make your life happier. We all remember how happy our Grannies made us, so we want to pass that joy on to you!
