A Lovely Sight to an Expectant Woman



Audrey and Micah Tavares dropped in today to show off their one month old little bundle, Mercedes. I had never seen Jay with a baby before so once I saw him with her in his lap, absolutely consumed with her, tickling her feet and generally swooning over every cute thing she did I also began to swoon a little. It is so weird that we are going to be parents. But I think our time with Mercedes today made us ever more excited!

Yep.

Kate and Andrew Riley have a daughter named Ireland. Now that's hot. Ok, maybe I'm biased.

A Girl?

According to the Chinese Lunar Calendar, I am having a girl. It is supposed to be 93% accurate. It is also, like, a million years old. I don't know.....

The Perfect Name

Jay and I spent some time today trying to figure out a middle name for the baby if it so happens to be a little girl (which I still think would be near-miraculous considering the odds). We love Madeleine for a first name; however, Steve and Maria are set on that name for a girl as well and seeing as they are due first (by three days) and that our children will likely be growing up together (as in seeing each other on special trips and occassions and being good friends), we don't want duplicate names. Supposing Madeleine were the first name...that's as far as we have progressed! We can't seem to find a good, meaningful second name. We don't want to do the whole "inherit a family name" thing because that just gets complicated. We want the name to be beautiful and have a nice (not necessarily Christian) meaning. I am tired of looking through baby name books.
Here is what we have thus far come up with (and none really grab us):

1. Alina (means "bright" or "fair")
2. Poopsmith (means "poopsmith"--Jay is particularly fond of this one)
3. Isabella (I don't know what it means)

So what I am wondering is if any of you know of, or have heard of, some unique, beautiful names that might suit a Legg baby with the first name Madeleine. Greg/Kris do not count.
