Update

We still don't have a name for our soon to be birthed daughter.

DrMark recommended "Baby Girl", a name actually used at his former hospital.

For those unaware, Anne had a problem in her intestinal tract. She had surgery and is fine except for her inability to eat much yet. So she was missed at the West Boylston Memorial Day cookout.

See everyone next week.

Who Picked Maureen in the Baby Pool?

So nobody won the FFW Pool (Fertile Family Women).

On one hand I am suprised because I saw Mo chug a beer when we visited around Easter. Then again, maybe she didn't know at the time or I was simply fooled.

On the other hand, I am not surprised. They have that big beautiful house and need to fill up the bedrooms - otherwise the inlaws may try to move in.

She is due December 28th.

I figured I would keep up my streak of announcing a pregnancy before a family wedding, as there is no way in hell that I would be able to hide it during Joe and Kelly's wedding. I'm feeling pretty good, and the boys are excited for a "Christmas baby," as they call it.

Lucky for the Joey and Kelly, Mo won't be sloshed at their wedding - as she was at Maggie and Ryan's.

Mo, it looks like that gate works, huh? (private joke)

Congrats.

This wasn't my typical business trip--I stayed in a five star Intercontinental Hotel with an amazing view of the Bosphorus and Marmara Sea. I also had a chance to do some sightseeing with a colleague before all the work started, including the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and the Grand Bazaar. On one of my last nights in Istanbul we all went out to huge restaurant frequented by foreign tourists. Our MC spoke about a dozen languages and we were treated to all sorts of traditional music and dancing, and there was much interaction with the audience. Among the hundreds of people in the restaurant one "lucky" person was singled out by a belly dancer for special attention...including hands run through his well-coiffed hair.

Any Name Suggestions?

This baby girl is really kicking. Inez is scheduled for a c-section on June 14th. She is planning on making Joe and Kelly's wedding (and John will be down as well - with a sitter).

We are open to any name suggestions as we're really stumped. The only name we like is Anna (but can't even find a middle name to go with that).

Any help or jests would be appreciated.

Kelly's Shower

Helena sent me an email titled "beautiful women enjoying a shower" with four attached pictures.

If it came from someone else, I would have suspected intentional adult content humor but from humorless Helena, it must have been accidental.
