People are so polite

Ok, seriously, why didn't anyone question the name??? No, Vanessa, I am not naming the baby Ruggelina. I thought you would know me well enough by now!

So, let me explain. Ruggles is actually the only name that Steve and I can talk about without really arguing. We happened upon it one day while reading the D & C -- some poor man's first name was actually Ruggles. I swear. Anyways, ever since, we kind of avoid discussing real names, and Ruggles keeps coming up as a joke.

And, knowing my husband, and how fond he is of making permanent decisions, the poor girl will be called Ruggles until the day she's born to avoid the real discussion. And then she'll probably end up with some really generic name like Stephenie or Jackie.

Ruggelina (Ruggles) Johnson -- Due September 23, 2009

Jackie: Um, so can you tell us what it is?

Dr. Tabsh: Girl.

Steve: Really?

Dr. Tabsh: Let me put it to you this way: I didn't see a p____.

(Later)

Steve: Just because he didn't see it, doesn't mean it's not there.

Jackie: Ok Steve.
