World, meet Chloe Grae! We are happy and proud parents, and big sister Nynka is very curious about her new baby sister. The reason behind the name Chloe is just that we loved it. The same as how Nynka got her first name ๐ Chloe is a Spring time name symbolizing new growth: “young green shoot”. Grae is after my mem, Grietje. Just like how Nynka got her middle name after Cam’s mom (Lynn). Grietje’s that leave the province of Fryslan will often go by Gree (English people: this is pronounced as grey) . Since in English this Dutch spelling would cause mispronunciation (again... just like how Nynka ended up with an a at the end instead of the Dutch way: e at the end) we changed the spelling from Gree to Grae. The spelling Gray or Grey would be masculine. Grae is feminine :) Baby registry: We really don't need anything, since she's our second. And people have already done so much for us by providing meals ๐ But I do get the question "I want to get her something, what can
We don’t have big summer plans, but are trying to enjoy our home life to the max. Together with Cam’s help, a friend built us a fence in the back yard so that we no longer have to step over chicken wire to get into the dog-free area of our backyard. With Cam also putting some new sod in areas where the grass had died during the time the dogs were allowed to run and pee on it, the backyard is now very nice: perfect for summer fun for Nynka! Our hashkap berry and raspberry bushes are doing really well and they pretty much all got picked and eaten by Nynka. The mint and chives are also growing super well and the rest of my garden are all perennial flowers. No time for annuals this year haha. Nynka is talking up a storm, copying every word we say and even linking two words at a time now. She is most happy when she’s outside and loves playing with water. She now is 21 months old and all of
This is not a post you have to read, for me it just feels good to write it down. She has arrived! After nine long months she has arrived! Our little rainbow baby, our little miracle: Nynka Lynn ๐ We are beyond happy and totally in love. We are so very grateful that we were blessed to have this healthy little girl grow inside of me and join us on the outside in this world! It is something so special that no one can ever take for granted, it really is like a miracle! The road was tough... People say "I loved my pregnancy" and "in hindsight doesn't it feel it went by so fast?". I did not love my pregnancy, I was extremely happy I was pregnant but I definitely did not love it. Part of the reason for that was being sick every day for the first 3 months and having such bad pain in the last 3 months because of my abs tearing and intercostal nerve irritation that I had to lay down all the time to manage the intense pain (this was until she finally positioned
