Name Change?

So.... Everyone around here seems to think that Shortcake is not such a good nickname for our little baby girl. Not because she isn't a cute little shortcake that I want to eat up with strawberries and whipped cream. Who wouldn't want to eat this cute little morsel?

The problem lies in that when Little Monster tries to pronounce her name, it comes out sounding a lot more like "butterball" than her real name. So. Everyone thinks her blog name should be Butterball. I feel badly for the poor girl, because surely that's a nickname that is going to stick, making Junior High a million times worse than it already was destined to be. So. Tell me, what do you think? Should we rename Shortcake to Butterball??

Announcing....

The newest member of our family: Shortcake.

There was some worry about how big she was going to be, and after an ultrasound guessed she'd be around 10 lb 13 oz, we were wheeled into the OR within an hour or so. At 1:30 PM yesterday, she was here. She weighed in at 9 lb 7 oz. 3 oz smaller than her brother, but no less cute!

We are in love. I am happy, and have been up and walking around and showered and walking around and feel human again, if a bit tender. And sleepy. Mommy is going to nap while she can.

Happy Birthday (yesterday) Shortcake! More details to come later!
