Johnathan Burton has always loved learning and experiencing new things. Writing and illustrating a book was something he set his mind to accomplish. There are only a few things that he considers himself not only to be proficient at, but also to be a professional – and saying stupid things to a pregnant woman is one of them! Learning the hard way, he has placed his foot in his mouth more than a few times and is so grateful that his wife didn’t send him to live on some deserted island, as of yet…
Johnathan, a professional opera singer, director, teacher, pen maker, artist, and writer, he places father and husband at the top of his most enjoyable responsibilities. A native to Northern California, he has written for magazines, newspapers, and various online journals in a variety of subjects. He has performed throughout the world, runs his own music studio, and is the owner and lead artist for Giovanni Pens, designing luxury writing instruments. Although always busy, he has also enjoyed the challenges of being a stay-at-home dad and considers “Daddy” the best title he could ever be given. Johnathan and his wife were expecting their second child when he started writing and illustrating this book.
Congratulations! Your life is about to change forever for the better and although the road could prove to be a bit bumpy, you are about to witness one of the greatest miracles there is, that of life.
Every woman when pregnant goes through changes that will not only affect her body, but also her everyday mood. Her emotions can be set at such extreme levels that your innocent comments can and will make her go from 0 to 60 faster than you can say “emotional.”
Is it all your fault when this happens? Well, that depends on who’s asking but here’s a gold nugget from me to you – it’s always your fault during this time, even when it isn’t. Learn to say you’re sorry, as it will become your most valued ally in your vocabulary arsenal.
Pregnant women not only are dealing with all the excitement, stresses, and joys that you are, but they have their own set of concerns as well. Mom-to-be’s body is embarking on a series of tremendous changes. The chemical balance within her body will be making many changes and your complete support will help during this pregnancy.
As most women are naturally gifted at multitasking, she is now probably starting to read all she can as she gathers all the information she can find. Although your last thought might be what’s going in the needed nursery, you can bet she is even thinking of color choices for the walls!
