It's all in a name.

What a lovely day! I spent the day with Jordan and Mel, we went looking at baby things in Exeter. I did very well NOT buying anything and also, keeping my mouth shut. I reminded myself that I have had 6 babies, I have enjoyed every second of planning and buying and imagining and dreaming, this is their time to buy things they don't need, buy too many of some things or not enough of another. It's all part of the joy of becoming a parent. the more time I spend with them, the more I see how great they will be at it.
I lost 2 babies, one right before Sophie and one right before Eli ( both times conceiving with 2 weeks of losing the babies) I don't think I grieved for those babies because I was immediately pregnant again. I am terrified that something will happen to this baby. S/he is already so loved and wanted, so longed for. I am such a pessimist lately, although I refuse to allow the doom and gloom to take hold on this one, the joy is too overwhelming to allow it to be spoiled.
I asked about names today, phew, they have some beautiful names, Joshua for a boy and Chloe, Olivia or Ella for a girl. I was a bit worried about the whole name thing ...as if I can talk, the shinnanigans over my boys names will long stay with me, people get over it and it never takes long before no-one can imagine the baby being called anything else. There are a few names that I would have such huge trouble with though, nope, you won't get me to write them here because names are such a personal thing and you can bet your life that if I wrote one of my loathed names, 27 mummies with a child with that name would read it and weep, or rage or demand to know WHY I hate that name.
If you want to laugh though, read this, it gets me every time, I just LOVE the comments. Some of those names??? Oh my goodness.
Short post today, I am deliciously weary, only minorly ( is that a word?) itchy, I might even get to bed before 2am, giddy with excitement about that!
