So who wants to congratulate Mrs Strachan on the birth of her baby girl ?

Asked by sandystrachan (4417points) December 7th, 2009

It has been well documented here about Louise’s pregnancy , the due date wasn’t until 19th dec . The baby just couldn’t wait to come , so she decided to arrive on the 6th dec instead . With a weight of 7LB 14 and ¾ oz , all is fine well and healthy and mother and daughter ( still nameless ) will arrive home from hospital today .
I know i haven’t been here much lately been too busy with things , but i will be back in a few weeks after all has returned to some normality at home .

Congratulations to you and to Mom and love to your daughter. Noel, isn’t it? All joking aside, tell us when you’ve picked a name.

To keep your new princess with a December birthday happy, remember these few rules from my own childhood:

No combo Christmas/birthday presents!

No birthday presents in Christmas wrapping paper.

Party like it was July for her birthday. Just because we had the unhappy accident of being born near a major holiday of the culture does not mean our birthdays are any less important to us than those of the rest of the world born at random times of the year when their birthday is the only event on the horizon.

What wonderful news !

Glad to hear that everyone is healthy and well

My niece’s name is Noel and I think it’s a beautiful name and so apropos to the season. Your special Christmas gift which came early. Wonderful.

Mazel Tov! I may have to start insisting that my recalcitrant children start producing progeny.

Congratulations!

She was born on Saint Nicholas Day, where St. Nicholas/Santa Claus leaves little presents in children’s shoes.

Looks like he left a big present in your shoe as well :-)

Thank you ALL , and there will be new accounts made this week . One for each daughter , wife and one as a whole family :)

sakura's avatar

do we have a name yet???

sandystrachan's avatar

Indeed we do , her name is Laren .
The girl’s name Laren \l(a)-ren\, is a variant of Lauren (Latin), and the meaning of Laren is “the bay, or laurel plant”.

janbb's avatar

@sandystrachan Beautiful name! Enjoy her!

MissAusten's avatar

What a wonderful name! Laurels are a symbol of victory too, you know. Our daughter is a Lauren, and I love the variant you chose!

marinelife's avatar

That is a lovely name.

augustlan's avatar

Good choice! I really like that. :)

aprilsimnel's avatar
