Her full name will be Maragaret Ruth named after Lisa’s mom and my mom, respectively, and we’ll call her Maggie. It took us a minute to get our thoughts reshuffled because Lisa and I both really thought it would be a boy. Of course, me being a guy I was all, “It’s a boy, blah blah blah.” But when I thought about holding that little girl in my arms, I melted. Or as Miguel said when he first heard, “Man your life is over!” As for Lisa, she is utterly enthralled in redesigning the baby room now that we’re planning for a girl.
As we both figured, now that we know what we are having it’s even more real, which makes it that much scarier. But more than scared, we’re super-excited. We’ve both always wanted this and now our dreams really are coming true.
