Keeping Motherhood Real

How Tangy got her name

Posted by Andrea On November - 2 - 2009

My beautiful Amelia

OrangutanDad and I have come up with the coolest nickname for you. And it has stuck for two weeks, which means that it is a keeper. At your 32 week scan, the Scanographer confirmed that even though I have a wonky umbilical cord, you are looking beautiful and are growing very well. As usual, we received a report that shows a number of measurements; each based on a scale that represents the mean values for babies – the report shows where you sit for each of those measurements. According to the report, you have a rather large belly and long arms, which Daddy and I found it hysterically funny because it made us both think of monkeys. So now you have a new nickname: Tangy – short for Orangutan. Your Uncle Alastair looks kind of like an Orangutan and he even has what we like to call the ‘red gene’, so maybe you will look like him. I can’t wait to find out!

Love you lots my Tangy
Mommy

Keeping Motherhood Real

BrazenMom is a site dedicated to moms with attitude: moms who love their babies but wish to remain independent and assertive without succumbing to the momness of pastel colours, poofy carry bags, perfume ala baby powder and tracksuit pants. The site aims to keep motherhood real by providing information relevant to moms in an opinionated, satirical, entertaining and completely biased manner. Expect to laugh, cry, anger, and most importantly, VENT, without judgment. The site includes feature stories; product and clothing news, views and information; book reviews; and personal accounts relating to being a mom. It is a forum for discussion, comment and argument, and is a way to learn from the experiences of other moms who wish to share. Comments are encouraged, swearing is appreciated and guest authors are most welcome. Let's be bold. Let's be shameless. Let's be BRAZEN.
