i am pleased to announce that in august the girls will overtake the house. the boys will be outnumbered 3 to 2...we are having another girl! ella always knew the baby was going to be a girl. even before i knew i was pregnant she was telling me that she was going to have a sister. she thinks we should name the baby tinkerbell and got very upset when i told her that was not a choice. don't know quite how beckett will respond. i am just hoping his sweetness stays with him and that he doesn't turn on me come august.
we are having the baby here in morocco. we opted out of maternity coverage upon moving here because we did not plan on getting pregnant this year and....surprise! the medical costs here are amazingly cheap. i get my blood taken for about $15 and have a check up with an ultrasound for about $20. it is great. we will actually be able to pay for the delivery (including epidural) in cash. pretty cool.
i am seeing a great doctor. she was trained in france and has delivered lots of babies in our community. she knows some english, but things do get lost in translation so one of my friends goes with me to my appointments (she was a labor and delivery nurse back in the states.) i feel very well cared for. now, about the clinic. i haven't been there yet. haven't done the whole "tour" thing. just kidding, they don't do that here. what i do know about the clinic is that there is a vip room that i will be requesting because it is a room by myself and has a shower and air conditioning (august is way hot here!) it should be an adventure to say the least.

Congratulations on baby girl!!!! Just like my family-and my younger brother was always a sweetheart! Now my little sister...well, she is 7 years younger than me so you won't have the 3rd child being spoiled rotten syndrome since Ella and her will only be 4 years apart. So excited for you!!!
Congratulations! She'll have a wonderful big sis to show her the girly ropes. We can't wait to meet the newest Douglass - no doubt she'll be just as lovely as the rest of the lot! Love you!
ps - why not meet Ella in the middle and name her Belle? short for tinkerbell?
How exciting! Glad Ella is getting her little sister. Take care!
Yea! Girls are so fun! Tinkerbell is hilarious! Bronwyn told me awhile back that she wanted to changer her own name to Snowflake. I said no, but what I was really thinking was, only if you become a stripper honey!
And I'm totally jealous it's so cheap. We paid cash for our last 2 (that sounds so funny) and the total tag was around 12k. And that was with NO epidural or pain meds!
omgg! heyy!
