I am 6 months pregnant with my first child and I have already started reading to her. I have a big basket of childrens books in the nursery and every couple of days I will go sit in there and read to her. I can;t wait until she's born and we can make this a daily part of our ritual. My parents read to me every day and now I love reading!

My birthday is the 8th! Maybe the birthday Gods will look upon me and I'll win! Haha.
