...girl! so after weeks of not being able to buy pink or blue, just grey and bleeegh beige,
and what feels like an eternity of feeling like shit, i finally know for 100% sure
(confirmed by the second appointment, definately 3 little stripes) that we are having
another little girl. aaaah for the boy i'll never have but yay for my new little girl.
after much deliberation, (well jp thinks so, actually i'd chosen the name when i fell pregnant
with siena already, in the event that i had another girl) we have decided on the name mila.
siena however has decided on the name peaches, and turns a deaf ear to anything else,
she refers to her baby sister as peaches, and that's that!!! any mention of mila and she's
like huh, who? so mila 'peaches' arpesella will come into the world sometime between
new years eve (terrible timing i know) and the 3rd of jan 2012.
i am determined not to have her in 2011, but we'll see how that turns out for me! i have
visions of the world celebrating either christmas or new years and me lying in a
hospital bed with miserable nurses, trying to appear chirpy and in the christmas spirit,
flitting around me while my family celebrates our usual chaotic christmas 'experience'
without me. it's a crazy day of 8 grandkids playing/fighting/screaming, trying to
coordinate food for them and that the moms, dads and grandparents eat together.
did i mention all the kids are under 4 and a half!, it's freaking crazy but it's christmas,
and i love it!
so here's to keeping my legs closed, and having a crazy busy christmas day, and especially
to my 'almost didn't have you' second child...
how wonderful life is, now that you're in the world ~mommy...
