It's a (Wo)Man's World

The Results Are In!

No, not the name game, the other results... the gender! My poor husband was sent to Romania and couldn't be present at the ultrasound, but it worked out because my mother is on summer break and drove over to be with me. I got to call DJ in the midst of post-soccer video-gaming with his Romanian friends and let him know that we're going to have a baby GIRL. This means I'm following a trend of girls in my circle of friends - something in the water? Of course my mother and I had to go out and buy something to celebrate. I know we'll probably get gifted with more girlie cuteness than she could ever need, but I only spent $4 at Goodwill, so you can't fault me there. Here is a pic of the shirt and sweater I got for Isabella/Amber/Serena/Audra/Olive/Emma/Whatever-Her-Name-Is...

What's in a Name?

Alrighty, so we had our Beer Tasting / Baby Shower. The highlight of the night was of course playing the name game. And now that I've tallied most of the votes (I'm still allowing some late entries, but we've already had over 60!) I can reveal the winners - drum roll please...

GIRL - Isabella Grace Edwards
BOY - Lucas Oliver Edwards

So congratulations to Dad Edwards, Laura, Mark Blasco, Brian, Blake, Savina & Llew, Jonathan, Mariah, Charlie, Papa, Mama, and Mellie, who all voted for one of the winners.

And especially to those who voted for both - Ben, Meghan, and Bethany.

The other front runners we are keeping in consideration are:
GIRL - Audra Grace, Olive Elora, Amber Elora, Emma Grace, and Serena Joy
BOY - Kennedy Omar, Isaac Oliver, Isaac Josef, Kennedy Josef, and Jacob Oliver

Thank you all for participating - we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! =)
