Sharing our experiences of serving in the Peace Corps in West Africa. Our travels home. Everything thereafter.

July 24th cometh and goeth.
As of this posting, Sonia is eight days beyond her due date. Through the last 41 weeks, we have managed to keep the suspense alive, not finding out if Baby G is a little boy or little girl. And now the added suspense of not knowing when he/she is planning to arrive. In the meantime, we're doing all the things old wives tell us to do to encourage labor. Nothing seems to be working yet. But no worries. Had an ultrasound today and it looks like Baby G is content just hanging out for now. Can't say I really blame him/her.
Stay tuned for more updates to Babywatch 2011.
P.S. Any final name ideas?

The next adventure.
Coming July 24, 2011.
While there are still 6 months to go, we are feeling overwhelmed with the responsibility of choosing a lifelong name for our future child. So, we are opening up a contest, so to speak, to pick the perfect name for little "X".
If we decide to adorn our future child with the name that you have chosen, then you will receive a really fabulous prize (to-be-determined). Please submit all name ideas to the comments section here, or my emailing them to ryanetsonia@gmail.com
Here are our guidelines:
1.) we won't be finding out if it's a boy or girl until the day it arrives, so feel free to explore both sexes
2.) we need a name that works well in both French and English. So please take that into account. Remember, Hailey in French would be pronounced "Al-eh", which resembles the word "aller", or to-go.
3.) all names should go through the standard "how could other mean kids bastardize the name?" So no Chuck, or Richard, or Laird (marde) please.
4.) must work well with the family name Gallagher
5.) name must be unique but not bizarre (Moon Unit?)
6. extra bonus for working in an accent like an umlaut (double dots)
Thank you for your help.
Good luck.
