Dani went to the doctor today and was told that even if she wasn't being induced tomorrow, this baby would probably be here in the next day or two whether we like it or not (we like it). We're counting down the hours until Liam becomes a big brother and we have a daughter. Unless Baby decides to get all tricky tonight, we'll be showing up at the hospital tomorrow at 7am with an agenda.
So far Liam is leveraging all of his persuasive powers to convince us that her name should be Rainey. Although we're still undecided on a name, the current front runner is Elsie Maren. Others on the short list (not in order) are Alaina, Cailyn, and Elise.
Liam just told us that the thing he's most excited to teach her is how to jump on Nana's trampoline...naked. Hmmmm. Dani says she's most excited about meeting her for the first time and finding out what she looks like, and that she's least excited about having stitches in her ____. I'm looking forward to late night rocking sessions where it's just me and her, and to watch Liam teach her whatever tricks he has in store (certainly to include using cardboard-tube telescopes, riding scooters, scaring birds, and bug-finding).
Dani's mom will arrive in time for the party, and my parents will come on Friday to keep the party rockin'.
Here's to life and the Firth family. Tomorrow they'll both get bigger and a lot more exciting.

Can't wait! I just realized today...that your baby girl will have the same birthday as my baby girl...Azaleia was born May 4th...2009. Super special to share a beautiful date. Wishing you the best and hope recovery is very fast. Wish I could meet that little darling! Love you Nelly!
Yay for the Female Firth baby! And she'll be born on Grandma Marilyn's Birthday! I vote for Cailyn cause it's like a combo of Krystal and Marilyn... Maybe you could spell it with a K? Just saying! ;) Good luck! Love ya!
