7 weeks 3 days: last night, the fun began

The phone rang about 6:00 last night. My dad and stepmom had come home from Dad's birthday afternoon of going to used bookstores and baseball card shops to find our package. They were SOOOOOO excited.

They asked about names, and we told them we were still thinking, though we have actually already come up with names. They called back about 90 minutes later with a long list of suggested names:

GIRLS
Lilly
Alexis
Sarah
Samantha
Tolly
Lindsay
Hannah
Amelia
Ariel
Shayla
Alicia
Renee
Diana
Cassandra

BOYS
Noah
Randolph
Bradley
Andrew
Jake/Jacob
Jack
Joel
Jeremiah
Martin
Michael
Mark
Thaddeus

We had already decided that we were not going to tell the names ahead of time so we came up with a phony list of finalists:

Girls: Tolly, Mia, Wilma, Ella and Zora

Boys: Clinton, Ezra, Michael, Miles and Langston.

The real choices? Guess you will have to wait to find out in February...
