I saw Mike at Bob's Birthday and he sounds so excited and it sounds like you are too! i love the names by the way! very unique and cute!!!

OH! i wanted to let you know, i don't know what you are doing for research and such for baby things, but my friend nicole had a baby (chole) last april and is pregnant again, and does a lot on myspace with baby groups and mommy pages and such, if you ever want a little advice or places to search she might be able to help you out, she's on my top friends list, feel free to check out the mommy pages on her myspace page!!

Hope all is well other wise, and again CONGRATS! and soon a warm welcome to little baby O :)
