The Path to Becoming a Child

Hello everyone.

This will be a blog documenting my future child's growth from fetus to baby to child. I am presently 18 weeks pregnant with a baby of an unknown gender (assumed to be male). A name has not yet been chosen for the baby-to-be, so for now we call him (or maybe her?) "MiniMomo".

Here are the main role players in this blog:

Me: My name is Anita, also called Bunni. I am a 22 year old African-American woman originally from Detroit, MI living and working in New York. I enjoy writing (especially comics), learning languages (learning Tibetan now), drawing (I'm rusty), exploring new things, music from all over the world, etc. I am the future mother of MiniMomo and a future Andrugsurba.




Momo: Momo's real name is Tenzing Kunchyap Andrugsurba. Momo is my fiance. He is a 24 year old Tibetan-American born in Nepal to a Tibetan-born father in exile and an Indian-born mother. He was raised in Brooklyn, NY. He is a big hip hop fan (he raps), likes to draw (is rusty like me), enjoys sports like every other guy, very kind if I say so myself, patient, aww....He is the future father of MiniMomo (hence Mini MOMO).



By the way, "momo" means "dumpling" in Tibetan.

Mommy: My mother, raised in Texas but lived in many cities across the US. She is very frank and liberal. She has been 39 years old for a record-setting 22 years now and is the youngest first-born child in her family of 7 siblings.

MiniMomo: I am not brave enough to speak for MiniMomo, for I fear later retaliation in my stomach (I am a victim of intrauterine mommy abuse, which MiniMomo probably does not realize). Thus, it may be best to let MiniMomo speak for himself (herself?). At 18 weeks of gestation, MM has already gained enough power to change our lives. Daily, my eating habits are forced to change, sleeping habits forced to changed, I am at his/her mercy. At this rate, MM may very well conquer the world.

Track MiniMomo on his/her journey from fetus into childhood and how our 20-something lives change with it.
