Ok, so this is a random thread to post, but I just had to share...
Some of you know that our little boy will be called Vincent. Today, I had my GTT at the hospital, and got chatting to the lovely nurse lady who took my blood etc. She asked us what we were having, and I told her it's a boy, and that we were really pleased because we'd really hoped for a boy. And she asked me whether we had any name ideas yet, and I said "Oh yes, we know his name" And I told her "He's going to be called Vincent".
She had the (now familiar) moment of surprise that it was an unusual name, and then she said "Ooooh, I like that! What a lovely name!" So we were beaming, and then she said "There's a song called Vincent, isn't there?" And I thought "Oh no, I hope it's not some crappy song, I'd be gutted" lol but she said it was by Don McLean, and I had some hope that it might be good, as I know I'd heard that he was one of the all-time best songwriters (from my mum!)
Still, I was NOT prepared when I got home and turned the laptop on and looked it up on you tube...

I just bawled my eyes out as I sat here listening to the most BEAUTIFUL song I have ever heard.... I am AMAZED!! In fact, I realise that I've heard this song before, yeeeeears ago, when I was tiny and my mum must have played it. But I always just knew it as "Starry starry night" and didn't realise it was actually called "Vincent" !!!
LOL we're hoping that he has "eyes of China blue" now!!
*wipes eyes yet again* That really caught me off guard, my pregnancy emotions just poured out when I heard it hehehe...
Sorry again for the random post Hope you enjoy the song
