Pre-Natal
I had to discuss with my aunts about the pre-natal time. As I've mentioned before, my Mom has passed and my Dad has a rough time remembering yesterday. My aunt told me my Mom bought a rocker early in her pregnancy and would constantly rock in it and rub her belly. She said that I wouldn't kick as much. My Mom smoked during her pregnancy, but I was a pretty average baby weight when born, so thank goodness for that. She also started collecting nursery ryhme books and would read those to me alot. -
