Did I tell you that
I’m going to be a nonna? Ah, I hear you say, but we thought you already were.
‘Tis true, but in 17 weeks, give or take, I am due to be a nonna again. Yes, numero
due nipote (number two grandchild) is on the way.
No, Giovanna and JW
haven’t decided to produce a hasty sibling for little LHG. He’ll only be
14½ months old when the new sprog
arrives, though of course that’s possible. But this time it’s the turn of Peter
and K, so it’s a new little cousin for LHG and a half-brother for cousin B.
Like Giovanna and JW,
Peter and K decided they wanted to know the sex of their baby. Apparently it
was pretty obvious it was a boy at the 12 week scan, if you get my drift. Not
that I saw the evidence until yesterday. What are they like? For 11 weeks
they’ve been ‘going to show us’ the scan. I finally got to see it along with
the 20 week one. Pa’s still yet to see either.
From what I can make
out it’s definitely a – baby. Surely the appendage that’s on show is simply the
umbilical. Guess I’ll have to bow to the greater knowledge of the sonographer.
I shouldn’t be
surprised that it’s another boy. Pa has three brothers – a twin and two
half-brothers. (He even has two step brothers who’ve each produced two sons,
though obviously that doesn’t influence anything.) However, since he has
managed to produce two daughters out of four, I imagine a little Myfanwy will
turn up sometime.
Now I need a nickname
for the new Blodwyn. Blod II, the sequel? Hm. Maybe not. He needs something all
his own.
Nonna will have to get
her thinking cap on. Any suggestions gladly considered.
