Dear Brittany,

(Side note - Brittany is my daughter's best friend and I couldn't love her more if I had given birth to her.She's my daughter, too, and she calls me Mama Andrea.)

We're all anxiously awaiting the birth of little Landyn, wondering when he's going to make his grand appearance into our world. I'm sure you're ready to get it all over with, so you can hold him in your arms and count ten little fingers and ten little toes.

I guess since it wasn't my pregnancy (or April the giraffes) it seems like these months have flown by. I remember sitting on the porch, getting a text from Courtney with a picture of a positive pregnancy test and it said "Brittany's pregnant!!!" I was so happy because to me it felt like I was getting another grandchild!

When you hold Landyn, in your arms, you will feel a love that you never knew existed. It's an indescribable, love without end. Besides being called Nana, being a Mom is the best title you can ever be given.

I know that you're gonna be an awesome mama, There's gonna be sleepless nights, lots of poop, times when you're not sure if you're doing it right, but we're all here to cheer you along and help if you need it. Never be afraid to ask for help, if doesn't mean you're a failure or anything like that. Most of the time it just means you're tired.

I love you, my sweetie, and you're gonna rock motherhood!

Love always,

Mama Andrea

PS - I haven't had a dream about Landyn like I had about Alex being a chihuahua or Jax being a cat.

Oh puh-leeze!

I've kept my mouth shut long enough and I just have to write this blog post. Honey Boo Boo must be stopped.

I have so many thoughts running through my head that this may not seem like a very well organized blog post so please just hang with me on this.

I watched every disgusting episode last season. Not because I liked it but it was like a wreck on the side of the road that you just had to stare at as you drove by. I had to see what happened next. I am proud to say that I will not be watching the next season and all of the holiday "specials" that they have planned on TLC. Here's why:

Reason # 1: I recently read that the Thompson family (Honey Boo Boo's dysfunctional clan) will be getting a pay increase. They will now be receive between $15,000 and $20,000 per episode. Let's think about this: I'm 40 and I know many people that graduated from college that can't find a job making that much money. Seriously? These people are on TV each Wednesday night filling the airwaves (cable, these days) with so much disgusting filth from the mom farting in the opening credits to the little pig, Glitzy, (which they did have enough sense to get rid of it) taking a dump on the kitchen table. They don't care how they appear to anyone and this, my friends, is what is making them the wealthiest white trash in America.

Reason #2: I am proud to be Southern. I am proud to be from SC. I'm very thankful that Alana, June and the crew is not from SC but being Southern and acting the way they do, they're making the entire South look like dumpster diving hicks. I don't have a problem with rednecks, I have a redneck side myself but they just really make us Southerners look like we have no manners. And a true Southerner knows that Southern women are the queens of manners.

Reason #3: One of Honey Boo Boo's older sisters recently had a baby. The few episodes that this new little one has been on has left me feeling like "please CPS, take this baby and find it a home where it will not end up like the rest of this family." Yes, I know that I should not judge, and I know that this baby is loved but I can't stand the thought of these people breeding more rude, burping, farting, hicks. Sorry. The truth hurts.

And finally, reason #4: Watch this video. No, she didn't slap Dr. Drew but she pretended to and that, my readers, is just rude and as we say UGLY!
