And.........it's a girl!!!


Well, it's been an interesting week. On Sunday I got sick and I must have infected my poor husband because by Monday he was also quite ill. Luckily, Mom came to visit us on Tuesday and took care of us (and our little doggies.) On Wednesday, I went with mom to my Dr's appointment and found out that the baby is a girl. Although mom and I were thrilled, I think we may have set Daniel's recovery back a few days. (Just kidding) Actually, he is pretty excited but insists that a penis may still grow between now and the baby's birth. Well, we'll just have to wait and see. Unfortunately, neither of us is feeling well just yet but hopefully a few more days of rest will fix that problem.
So, now that we know the baby is a girl (notwithstanding the many stories Daniel's family has passed on regarding incorrect ultrasounds) we would like your help in picking out a name. Please let us know which of the following is your favorite name and feel free to suggest your own as well (But please still pick one as your favorite even if you have a suggestion.) OK, here goes, Daniel's 3 favorites and my 3 favorites, though I'm not saying which one belongs to whom:
Danielle Elena (guess who picked this one?), Isabel or Isabella Elena, Francesca Elena, Alessandra Elena, Bianca Elena, or Natalia Elena. For those of you who don't know, my mother's family has a tradition of using the middle name Ellen for the first daughter so we will use either Ellen or Elena for the baby's middle name. Anyway, please let us know what you think--we love you all and look forward to seeing everyone once the baby is born. (Robert, Robin, Jared and Adelia, we look forward to seeing you much sooner :)
One other note: We also want to welcome my new sister-in-law Teresa to the family. Even though we haven't gotten to meet her yet we have heard great things about her and we're so happy that Scotty has found such a special person to share his life with. We look forward to meeting you, Teresa, and wish you and Scotty the best.
