Well I've been sick for what seems like forever! Now Nikirhe is sick, Ernie is getting sick and Amy is sick too! Man we are passing it around. It's not as bad now as it was. No fever thank the Lord and mostly just congestion and cough with lots of restlessness at night for Niki.
You know I never thought I'd have a namesake but as I look at my beautiful little girl and thank God for her each and every day I'm no longer annoyed with Ernie for wanting to give her a combination of my names. I may have explained this last year when she was born but as it gets closer to her birthday I am a bit sentimental!
Nikirhe is a combination of my two middle names Nikita and LaRhe(pronounced La Ray) So there for Nikirhe is pronounced Niki-ray... we get nurses pronouncing it Ni ky re and Nik r he ugh! Just say the last name if you can't pronounce the first name! LOL
That is the only problem I had with him wanting to name her Nikirhe. People would never pronounce it correctly nor spell it correctly. She will ( like her mother) never be able to find things that have her name on them unless she shortens to Niki which I suspect she will! LOL I call her Niki 90% of the time anyway.
I liked Sophia from the movie Mama Mia... and since my little girl's heritage is Hispanic I chose the more Latin spelling Sofia rather than the original Greek spelling. And instead of just naming her Sofi I decided on Sofia so if she so chooses at some point she can use Sofi or Sofia.
I know I'm rambling but I have had this on my mind as of late and guess with her 1st year coming to a close in two weeks I am remember how on this day in 2009 I was preparing for Thanksgiving, content on never having a baby and only being a semi adoptive mother to Holly while raising my dogs and pursuing a career in Insurance sales.
Funny how God works! I am SOOOOOO very thankful for my beautiful daughter Nikirhe Sofia Graham!
