GIRL
Hahaha 😀 I know everyone always says: Oh, I just want a healthy baby. But hubs and I really wanted a girl.
However, we’d resigned ourselves to the fact that because we both wanted a girl, it would be a boy. Because really, isn’t that how life goes? I almost didn’t believe the tech when she told us. I had to make sure she wasn’t joking.
So after letting it sink in for a while, we ventured out and picked up loads of baby things (well not loads, but some cute clothes). Sadly, most of the range is in pink at Target. I need to get out to other places so we can diversify her colours a bit. I know, I know. Girls = pink, but that doesn’t mean you can’t put in blues, greens, purples, turquoises and other pretty colours. Let’s face it. Babies look cute in anything.
The thing is – 2012 has been far too good to me. Agent, Pregnancy and now finding out the baby is a girl. Something has to give, right? Probably won’t get that book deal 😉 But that’s okay, I have enough other plotbunnies, and one almost completely drafted other series, so the next submission can just get sold. Fair trade off, right?
I’m looking forward to November, and trying to juggle both my writing, editing and a baby. Should be exciting, right? Never a dull moment haha! Talk about more inspiration and motivation 😀
Hope everyone is doing great – if you’ve not yet signed up for #writemotivation July – pop on over here and do so!
OMIGOD!! Congratulations to you both!! That’s so exciting!! MORE EXCLAMATION POINTS THAN EVER BEFORE!!!!!!
Have you chosen a name?
Aw congrats on the girl and I wish you well with the pregnancy. And hey, life will deliver that book deal as well! 🙂
No need to expect that you’ve had too much good. Enjoy all this wonderful-ness happening. Hoping your novel gets sold on submission to add to the beautiful gifts coming your way.
I’m so glad you’re having what you wanted. And don’t sweat it – just because all the good things are happening, it doesn’t mean more good things won’t follow. Maybe the book deal won’t come this year, but it will come and before too long, I’m sure. This is your year, maybe even your decade, who knows! 🙂
Psh, TDP will sell. I’ll go buy a hat and eat it if I’m wrong. (I make no promises that it won’t be a gummy hat, granted). Seriously, congrats sweetie. You’re having a WONDERFUL year, and you deserve it! <3
*scowls* If you think I’m going to skip over that book deal deprecation in the middle just because you’re going to have a little girl who is absolutely ADORABLE, you’ve got another thing coming. Sometimes life gives you ALL THE THINGS, and I think 2012 is totally your year. <3 <3 <3
Well congratulations! Honestly, I think baby girls have cuter outfits anyway. Yes, they are all pink but I remember how hard it was to find something for my nephew when he was a baby.
Good luck with the writing and the baby and all the balancing that comes with it 🙂
*happy dance and twirlies with chocolate chip cookies* yay for you!
Oh and stop berating yourself on the book! I’m with Leigh…I’ll make her pick up two and join the company or eating (gummy) hats!
Congrats on getting what you wanted! We already have our little girl, so we are hoping for a boy next time – of course, I need to get pregnant first.
Purple is in season here in Australia this winter for little girls. Overwhelmingly so. You walk into a shop and you are left with a resounding impression of…purple.
It’s been your year, all right!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! I’m SO happy for you 🙂
Biggest hugs!

Congratulations!!! 🙂 Sounds like you’re having a fabulous 2012!
So happy for you! While any baby is a blessing, it’s always fun to get the gender you were hoping for. I’m sure you’ll find a way to juggle all the craziness. It seems overwhelming at first, but after a little while, it’s old hat. I thought I’d never adjust to to two kids after having one, but now we’re thinking about a third. What is wrong with me? 🙂 It’s tough to find girl stuff that isn’t pink, but I’ve had better luck on the internet, and at boutique stores, if you have any near you.
