So our current tasks concerning the pregnancy are: find a name for the baby, and keep the baby inside until it is fully developed. We still haven't settled on a name, and we are developing a bad track record in this regard. It took us until a week after she was born to finally arrive at Rowyn's name. But worrying about baby names has been slowly supplanted in Elizabeth's mind by worrying about all the strong contractions she's been having. Painful, frequent ones. Any time she stands up. And she still has two months to go. Bed rest isn't her thing (not that it's anybody's thing), and she and I are both hoping that this is just a phase of uterus-strengthening exercises, but it might be more than that. Time (and communication with our midwife) will tell.
Well, I hope to write more on this blog than I have the last year or so. Perhaps the new baby will provide the impetus. I've been working on a novel, and that is where most of my writing time, what little I have, has been spent of late.

I hope it is a passing phase. Joal, it doesn't matter what you write about it is just pleasant to read it. I hope you don't try to put scary parts in your novel, its just going to turn out comforting. Maybe its because I know you, and your writing reminds me of you, and so there is a delightful association.
Anyway, I know you wrote that blog entry to solicit baby girl names, so here ya go:
Here is a selection of the "fantasy" flavor:
Fantasia Lee
Rohessia Lee
Autumn Lee
Briantia Lee
Lidendra Lee
I've always thought you should save your favorite name for your second or third child. The oldest already has the upper hand, might as well not have the best name, too. Good luck beating Senora, that's a good one.
