baby names
May. 30th, 2007 12:57 pmBorn this morning to Sara: Jane Bramlett (family name). Siblings are Ellen and Alexander. I want to run over and see her but am not sure how to find out the hospital room number.
There is a new baby in Dillo's room at school: Bryn. Now with Myles and Ayden, there are 3 children with extraneous Ys in their names in his class of 8 (other kids are Miriam, Savannah, Lily, and Alexa). (I mean, I guess Y is integral to Bryn, which I think means "high/tall" in Welsh. I assume Bryn is a girl - I haven't seen her yet.)
I was talking to a friend last night and she mentioned the timing of a future possible child. I realized that when Dillo was born I was thinking of having a third 2 years after the second - which would mean I would be conceiving potential 3rd child this fall, already! Yikes. No. I am definitely not going to conceive any more children until mr. flea has a defended dissertation. I am back on the fence about having a third - right after Dillo was born I was really gung ho and right now I am not so much. But then baby Jane being born today has got me thinking about it again. I turn 35 this September, so if we waited 2.5-3 years after Dillo I would still only be 36 when possible 3rd baby would be born.

I went to see the baby. (Well, and her mother. Actually, took mother some books, as she was without reading material.) Now am all: Want! Baby! Am such a freak.
I also forgot to note the recent birth of Roselyn, called Rosie, to Karen and Jon, big brother Joe. Rosie is the baby whose mother had surgery for a massive ovarian cyst at 18 weeks gestation. She is in perfect shape, and looks, well, like Winston Churchill, but then don't they all. In a lovely sort of way.
