The Romance Bookie

 So I am a HUGE Taylor Swift fan!  The second a new album is announced I've either preordered it or run to the store first thing in the morning to pick up my Exclusive Target copy. When Taylor announced Folklore  in July, it was the biggest and best surprise!  She had just released Lover  last year, and usually only released an album every two years; so Folklore  was so unexpected for all Taylor fans!  But it truly was an amazing gift for us fans. I had just started my third trimester a couple weeks before the album came out, and babies in the womb start hearing voices in the second trimester, so my son listened to this album along with me and my husband for the months up until he was born.  It was playing in our car, we listened to it while we had our Friday night date nights at home BBQing in our backyard.  So my baby heard this album a lot. It is such a relaxing album too, very different from Taylor's other music.  Each album has had ...

You Guys! My baby is two months old today!! 😭 My little 6 lbs 13 oz, 19 inch baby boy has turned into a 11 lbs, 21 inch baby boy right before my eyes! Time is flying by!  Everyday is a new adventure with him. He went from being this...   To this... Before I know it he'll be graduating high school. via GIPHY He's growing up so fast! He went from being a cute little potato (as my husband likes to call all newborns 😂) to a full blown infant! My husband and I see changes daily.  Not only appearance (because holy moly he almost doesn't look like the same baby!) but also in his development! There are certain milestones parents look for as their baby gets older.   Each time Alex hits one of those milestones, my husband and I are over the moon!  We call each others names, to rush over, and swoon over our baby boy as he impresses us more and more. As a parent, you will find that your child is the best child in the entire world, and that they are a genius every time t...

 Hey! So I don't think I've actually mentioned my son's name yet, have I? Given the scary universe that the internet has become, I will only be sharing his first name; and only because it goes with a part of this post. Alexander. Or as I call him and my husband does not (😂), Alex. Why did we pick that name? Well, first off, my husband and I have had our baby names picked out for years.  I've actually known my names for a boy and girl longer, but unfortunately, my husband did not like the name I had picked out for a boy.   In case your wondering what name that was, it was Oliver.  My husband thinks it sounds like a dogs name.  I love the name Ollie and Oliver though!  However, I was not going to win that battle. I did win him over with the name Charlotte, which is what we would have named our child if we had had a girl. "Charlie" for short (at least for me, to my husband she would have been Charlotte).   But we did agree on our boy name still way befor...

 Hey Everyone! Has anyone else noticed that it seems like everyone and their sister are having babies in 2020? Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, Ed Sheeran and his wife, Rupert Grint and his girlfriend, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner, Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden (!!!)...the list is freaking endless! So a new term has been penned for 2020...Covid Babies... via GIPHY They even have these onesies, for parents to announce they're expecting... From Etsy   😂😂 Now my husband and I found out we were pregnant in January, so technically our little guy is not a CoVid baby, but unfortunately it did mean I was pregnant during a very difficult time, when it comes to the medical field (along with a lot of other things, of course).   My husband was only able to come to appointments with me, up until I hit my second trimester about.  After that, he would drive with me, wait in the parking lot in our car, and we would video chat so he was able ...
