Guest guest Posted October 24, 2001 Report Share Posted October 24, 2001 Just got told my SIL in Chicago had a little baby girl last night (it was due 10 days ago)!! My brother - the eternal bachelor - sounds thrilled to bits!! Thanks to those of you who gave advice on birth US style - in the end SIL and DB wrote a 5-page birth plan, took it to hospital to discuss it with the doctors, and got told off for wanting all the wrong things (and 'why hadn't they asked for midwife care to start with'). So three weeks ago they scoured Chicago for hospitals with midwife care who would take them so late in the process (just days really before the due date) and thankfully found one - a Swedish hospital not too far away. Now I am dying to hear how it all went... but main thing is they sound happy and I've got a brand new baby niece! Karina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 24, 2001 Report Share Posted October 24, 2001 Congratulations to you and your family Karina.. Any name decided on yet (one of my big passions ;o) ) Lonnie Phoebe & Eloisa's mama & expecting a Christmas delivery... My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what you start. So far today, I have finished 2 bags of chips and a Chocolate cake. I feel better already.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2001 Report Share Posted October 25, 2001 She's called Dahlia!!! Not quite sure how to pronounce it yet, with a Norwegian Dad and Lebanese mum, living in the US, there are many options! Does anyone know what the name means?

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2001 Report Share Posted October 25, 2001 its a flower,..... always been Day-lee-ah in our gardens! no idea if it has another meaning (or pronunciation when used as a name for that matter) Didn;t Bertie Wooster have an Aunt Dahlia? (to go with his Aunt Agatha...) _________________ Angi 0:-) > She's called Dahlia!!! > Not quite sure how to pronounce it yet, with a Norwegian Dad and > Lebanese mum, living in the US, there are many options! > Does anyone know what the name means? > > Karina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2001 Report Share Posted October 25, 2001 It's a flower isn't it? I pronounce it Day lee ah, but that might be my German mother's bastardisation of it!

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2001 Report Share Posted October 26, 2001 I used to know an Israeli Jewish lady (as opposed to standard british of eastern european origin jewish lady) whose name was Dalia - when I asked her what it meant she looked at me all puzzled and said " It's a flower! " ... so if I were you I'd assume the same! And yes, Angi, Dahlia was his good and deserving Aunt, unlike Agatha who ate broken bottles and wore barbed wire next to the skin.
