We also decided to not to go down the traditional christening route, I think we will ask the vicar if he may bless Bella only say at the end of a sunday service, not make a big deal about it...THEN make a very big deal on a beach with our nearest and dearest in the summer and have a humanist blessing. Nothing long and winded,VERY hippy dippy love and peace and all that :) Bare feet in the sand and flowers in our hair. Some nice readings and a few words, and I thought people could bring a stem of their fave flower and throw it in the sea and make a wish for Bella. Also it makes me feel quite happy and emotional that my daddy can be involved (he is in the sea..well his ashes are) Take some bubbly and some picnic stuff down to the beach, If the weather is heinous so what we shiver in coats for 20 mins under brollies, the sea is ALWAYS beautiful and powerful even on a shitty day. Then we would go back to "the Granny's" house and eat there, a bit windswept but happy :) Its the PERFECT solution.
anyways today is pomegranate day:
your baby at 21 weeks
- As her digestive system preps for the outside world, she's manufacturing meconium -- the tarry black substance you'll find in her first dirty diaper (ew)!
- If it's a girl, she's already got a lifetime's supply of eggs in her womb -- about six million of them!
