>I was laying in bed thinking about hopping on Etsy to try and find a suitable homecoming outfit for “Boo.” Should I get something with “Boo” embroidered on it? Should I get a “Little Sis” onesie? What will my little girl come home in, and frankly, why the heck is this so important that at midnight, I am stressing about this small detail?
And as I’m staring at the dark ceiling for hour #2 now, I realize that I have no real attachment to this nickname. I’m not even sure where it originated, but I’ve been holding on tight for 8 months now. Bean’s nickname was slam dunk from day one. So much so that I had it tattooed on her stocking for her first Christmas while still in the womb. I couldn’t even bring myself to do the same for “Boo” this year. So, 7 weeks before she makes her grand entrance into this world, I find myself without a natural nickname for her and this makes me a little sad…
Ps. Don’t worry Aunt Chick, we promise to still make loving use of our “Boo” blanket every day.
>i completely understand what you mean! And p.s. I also stare at the ceiling at night…so annoying!! AND i was also recently stressing about the homecoming outfit, lol. So looks like we’re both either normal or abnormal together ; )
>Aww. But I love Boo! I thought Boo originated because you had a doctor’s appointment around halloween? The first major one?
