We are getting closer and closer to “the day.” I snapped these pictures during a “fika” today. I think Mir looks great especially considering it is getting harder to sleep at night. I am so proud of her!
Yesterday we talked with our Dr. and confirmed that our baby is quite stubborn. It is sitting quite comfortably on it’s behind and dosn’t really want to turn downward. We all think it is best to do a C section in this case. So, on Sept.10th we are going to have a new addition to our family! We appreciated your prayers and thoughts, and we are both very comfortable and happy with this decision.
As for the name…So far we like 2 boy names and 3 girl names. It is so much fun to dream about which one we will finally settle on. I wrote all 5 names down and scrambled the letters. Here they are…
AAAEEIIIOOYWHHHLLLLLMMNPSST
Maybe someone can make something of this…maybe not. In any case we can’t confirm anything until Sept 10th…

Mirjam you look beautiful! September 10 will come sooner that you know it. Umm..just one question about the name scramble is the baby’s name going to be English or Swedish?

We picked names that work both in Swedish and English.

From what I can decifer, my niece or nephew will have the name E-I-E-I-O!!!! I’m so excited because I once sang a song about him/her on a farm!!! WOW. If I only I’d known when I was 4 that I would know someone named this, I would have sang the song in tune

Wow, you look just wonderful! Thank you Sam for these pictures.
I see the unisex name “Psst”. That is a little unusual but then I shouldn’t be pointing fingers.

Here is our guess using all the letters:
Wilhelm
Sophie
Latoya
Sh
Lml
I think you need to import some more vowels. Our vote goes for Latoya! Although “Sh” will work in most cultures, it may have a quietening effect that can be quite irritating.
P.S. Mir: You look gorgeous. We are praying for you.

I was wondering if I could buy a vowel. I’m not too good with word games ,but if you gave me a little more to work with I know I could come up with something. I only see Lassie and Yahoo at first glance.
Jonas said,

and Nathalie you got some really good names. “Why Not”! “Why Not” come and eat! That is just super funny. Great Blog!

Sarah said,

I guess Emily or Emma for a girl and William for a boy. We pray you have a good delivery. Enjoy

I am now adding a v as I like another name!
Irish said,

There are enough letters there to make William. I doubt that you will name your child Toy, or Whee.
You look well, Mir! Will think of the three of you on September 10.

We went to IKEA for coffee today. They were serving cake in the deli. It was prince cake with a green frosting. Did somebody have a baby???? The green frosting doesn’t give a clue yet to the gender of the baby.
