I have been reading to my daughter a lot, especially now since it helps her sleep. I didn't think about logging any of it on my reading charts or Goodreads till I got a badge on the Epic! app that said we read over 50 books. And that's just 1 app not including other reading apps, my ebooks, audiobooks, and physical books I've been reading to her. I know that number is way higher than 50 and I only logged probably a handful!
🙃I f*cked up🫠
The tagged book finally came in as well as a bilingual Curious George story treasury book for my daughter! I plan to read my book on our flight to visit my fiancee's family in Puerto Rico. We are so excited everyone, except Jon, has never flown on a plane or barely left the state of Kentucky. The trip is soon, I won't say exactly when, but when I return I'll have plenty of pictures! 🇵🇷🎉
I've been loving the books my daughter has received from the Imagination Library program. The tagged book is the first book every child receives regardless of age, the rest are sorted into age groups and what your local library sponsoring the program chooses. One more reason we all love Dolly 💕 Absolute icon! 🤩
Has anyone ever tried the website recommendmeabook.com? It's pretty neat, and it helped me find my next read(tagged book) that I plan to order. The main way it works is the 'Read A Page' function. It has a bunch of filter options you can put on or not and it'll choose a random book and let you read the first page of it. If you are into it you can choose to reveal the book or move on if you aren't. It has other functions too, just try it!
pickI will only say the ending was a touch anticlimactic but otherwise it was a good read. Very creative and enjoyable I liked this take on the sleeping beauty story. First book I've finished in a while, I feel proud of myself even if it was just a novella.
She's getting so big! It's wild how quickly she's developing over time. She's growing up too fast she's making us sad but also thrilled. It's so conflicting 😭❤️😭
I took the baby to the Christmas Parade. She got to take pictures with Santa and Mrs. Clause ❤️ 🎄
My babygirl is officially 2 months old! I'm already sobbing she's getting so big so fast I hate/love it.
Look who made it home!
Silly Billy can't keep herself contained in her swaddle even if her life depended on it LOL 😂
The nurse made me this with her little feet prints and let me know she's probably going home tomorrow! I'm so happy 😊
Thank you for the birthday wishes, I've been spending the day with my early birthday present, she's just got out of the NICU yesterday and if all goes well I get to take her home tomorrow 😊 I really couldn't ask for anything more, she's such a beautiful boricuan doll baby 🇵🇷
Someone decided we needed to go on ahead and come now 😄 say Welcome to Marialynn Esperanza 🩷 Born Oct 3rd around 4-5pm at 9lbs 13oz and 21 inches. She's being monitored in the NICU, but in general, she's pretty healthy. We're so in love with her!
I went into the OB today, and it was decided that I'm to come into L&D at 6am on Oct 7th Monday and be induced. Baby M.E. is going to share a birthday with me if all goes smoothly! We're thrilled to finally see her!
It's so crazy how fast this pregnancy has flown by! She's almost here, and I can't wait. I just wish my mama was here to see this. It's been one year without her, and it hurts so bad, especially because I knew she wanted to have a granddaughter so badly.
On a lighter note, here are some of the books that my fiancée and I read to babygirl. Definitely not all of them, but some of them.
Got these done around 31w, but only now did I feel good enough to post them. She's really wore me out. I almost can't wait for her to be here already.
It's getting so close to due date I'm freaked out. It feels like it's really zipped by and at the same time is crawling at a snails pace. I just can't wait to meet Lil Miss Marialynn Esperanza Viera-Garrison 🩷👶🇵🇷
We just found out we are having a girl! So excited!
Recent ultrasound picture of Baby Bubble and the first additions to our their library 💕 📚
pickAt first, I wasn't sure how to feel about it, but I fell in love with it by the end. Some of it felt really personal for me, and the deeper you go, the more complex it gets. I know some people were confused by it, but I think I get it. It's hard to explain it, but I loved it.
11 weeks down, and baby finally looks like a real baby! Can't wait to find out the gender. Everyone has been guessing, girl, so far. I'm currently reading the tagged book above. I gotta get the baby interested in science early, right?

My heart has been so broken, and I'm so full of grief. My family lost our matriarch, my mama. I'm left to take her place and take care of my younger brother. She died 2 days after our father's 10 year death anniversary. It happened August 30th but it still feels like yesterday. I'm broken friends 💔 I don't know what to do. I'm so numb. I need all the prayers and good vibes I can get for my family.
pickThis book was a lot of fun and a nice way to end this #Readathon on. 3.5/5🌟 I'm actually really proud of myself I got this much in and completed two books even if I didn't actually complete the challenge, can't wait till next time.
Also this goes down as my P for title
#20in4 @Andrew65 #LitsyAtoZ #ReadingChallenge @BookishMarginalia
Update on my #20in4 I started this book that I actually never heard of till I read the last book and so far it isn't disappointing me, just definitely a little old and a little racist but that is the time period for these people and even the author so I'm understanding, that's just how it be sometimes with older literature. #Readathon @Andrew65
pickSo I finished my first book of the year! So this not only goes down on record for #20in4 but also on my #LitsyAtoZ
#Readathon #ReadingChallenge @Andrew65 @BookishMarginalia
