Happy Mother's Day.....and an unexpected gift!

Well, as most of you know, Wess and I are not very good at coming to an agreement on baby names! Both Quinton and Weston's names were finalized after they arrived and with this baby, I just wanted to know her name before we got to the hospital!
A couple of months ago, we came across the name Olivia and I fell in love with that name. Wess "liked" the name but wanted to just think on it some more. After some discussions and changing the spelling to "Alivia", he still liked the name, but just wanted to wait in case some other name that we liked popped up.
Needless to say, I am getting a little stressed about her upcoming arrival and feel like we are extremely unprepared in comparison to our first two. So to jump start the "thinking" again, I took it upon myself to buy the letters and decorate them to match the non-existent baby theme that I know is going to all come together in the next few weeks!!


Wess was a little surprised to find that I had gotten so brave and crafty, so I told him with letters like "A" and "I", that even if we came up with something else, I knew I would at least be able to use a few of the letters. However, it doesn't look like that is going to be necessary. This morning in my Mother's Day card, the three sweetest names in the whole world (see below) were on that card and I can now officially announce that "ALIVIA GRACE GANO" will be arriving very soon and we are getting very excited to get to meet her! I must also add that regardless of whether I had received this unexpected "name gift" today or if I hadn't, I have the most wonderful husband ever and I love him and thank him for each and every day that we get to spend together!

We love the name Alivia, and can't wait for our 1st Granddaughter to get here! We also agree that you have a wonderful Husband and the best Daddy any kids could have!! We might add Wes is without a doubt our very favorite Son-In-Law! (Although we consider him more like a real son... but we could be in trouble if we said he's our favorite son)!!!
