It's a Girl! And a Boy!


At her doctor's appointment on Wednesday, Maria Jose learned that, if all goes well, sometime this fall Emilio will be able to welcome a younger sister and a younger brother to our new home.

Mari is now more than 21 weeks down the road on this. November 24th is the official due date, but we have been advised that it is unlikely the kids will want to wait that long.

We are, in a word, psyched.

That's exciting news! A girl and a boy! Wow! Two boys and a girl make a nice family. Lots of love.

Julie said...

Congratulations! That's the exact result I was hoping for!

Name the girl Susudio and the boy Eagleforce 2!

Steve said...

Thanks, Jack.

Phil Collins's "Sussudio" came in at #23 in VH1's Top 50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs. #22 was "The Thong Song."

Julie said...

So you've decided to go with Thong then instead?

Or: Name the girl Cornelia the mother of the Gracchi and the boy Marcus Aemilius Scaurus Princeps Senatus

Congratulations! The whole Nelson clan will look forward to meeting the new babies & seeing your new home. We should be living in the vicinity by the time school starts no matter what's happened (or not happened) with our Texas house. Hope you're still up for meeting us at a Cubs game sometime early fall.

Today's names parade:
Ferdinand y Isabella
Jose Maria y Maria Jose
But who can top Marcus Aemilius Scaurus Princeps Senatus Ruiz Benton y Thong?

Steve said...

Just think, Amy: a year from now we may be able to field an entire starting baseball nine by merging your team and ours.

Whoa Steve...I hope you're counting the adults in that lineup because I am personally not adding any more to our team. :)

Steve said...

Counting adults, yes.
How about: Gary can pitch, I'll catch, we'll put Noah at short, Daniel at second, Mari at third, and you can play first, Amy. Emilio will play centerfield and we'll put the twins in the corner outfield spots. For now. But we can let Gary make the calls on positions. These are just suggestions . . .

Great Ruiz-Benton Clan! So much better than Great Scott. Congratulations to you three for the fourth and fifth quickly to be. How are you feeling Mari? I think of you a lot and wish all the best for all of you. I'll bet this pregnancy is going by sooo fast! Love you all five!

You'd better put me in a non-crucial position. I am not your go to gal in baseball. I think you'd be better off with one of the twins as an infant playing infield instead of me. Daniel has volunteered to be our first baseman and Noah typically like to play second. Now...who are playing against?

Steve said...

I'm fine with Daniel at first and Noah at second.

I don't want that hard baseball anywhere near my babies, so they are all playing a deep, deep outfield at least for these first few seasons. Maybe we can get baseball mitts that are big enough for them to sleep under.

You and Mari and I will have divide up the third base, short stop, catcher duties.
