IT’S A GIRL!

The long wait to find out the sex is over. I have been hoping for a girl so that I could use my Grandmother’s name.

Behold! Lillian Elsie Ruckman. Click the Photo for a better view.

And just for fun, here is some information on what each of the names stand for. Not that I was even thinking about that anyways.

The girl’s name Lillian \l(il)-lian\ is pronounced LIL-ee-an. It is of Latin origin, and its meaning is “lily”. Flower name. Lillian is a very popular female first name and a popular surname (source: 1990 U.S. Census).

Elsie:

The girl’s name Elsie \e-lsie, el-sie\ is a variant of Elsa. Elsie is a very popular female first name and a very rare surname (source: 1990 U.S. Census).

I am pleased to bring you the never ending series “The baby” Part 1 of infinity. I figured I would start this series with a couple photos of the fetus at 9 weeks 6 days from conception. That would put the due date on or near October 23rd and the day of conception on January 18th, 2008 which is a Friday. I can’t exactly recall what I was doing that day, but without remembering I am sure I know one thing I did that day. As you can see below, the construction of the baby is progressing as expected. The planned birthing will be on October 17th currently. Click for a larger and less blurry picture.
