Frank is very excited about becoming a dad. (Hint for Christmas: he has his eye on a "Big Daddy" t-shirt like Doug Clayton's).
Ever since I became pregnant, he's had to learn lots of new words. Every time I teach him one I'll share it here. Hey, maybe you'll learn something too. Today, I have two words for you:
Trimester: A three-month period. Pregnancy is nine months (more or less) so there are three trimesters.
Frank is struggling with this one. Being the academic that he is, he prefers to tell people, "Elsa's in the second semester!"
Braxton Hicks: False labor; a pregnant woman may feel these contractions but they're not the "real deal." Our friend Shannon experienced this and when Frank heard us talking about it, he asked, "Is she naming the baby Braxton? I like that name."
Now, whenever we tease him about it, he still insists, "Braxton is a cool name!"
Stay tuned. I can pretty much guarantee there will be more definitions to add to the daddy dictionary.
