And though I don't get the official report until Monday, everything appeared OK from what we could see (hands, legs, brain, heart - check).
Now I need a good combo girl name: I want a mystic and an obscure movie or pop culture reference. :P
For years my choice was Fiona, but then Shrek made it too visible (I chose it after falling in love with The Secret of Roan Inish). I thought Julian and Mechtild both sounded cool with Fiona. But nowadays we're leaning towards something even more - nearly celebrity-style - weird. It's gonna have to stay a secret, though!
Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer. —Rainer Maria Rilke
About Me
- Stasi
- I am currently staying at home and taking care of my children (born 6/08 and 7/10). In my little free time, I teach and write liturgy. My work is currently available through the clayfire project (sparkhouse publishing, a division of Augsburg). I teach for Fuller Seminary online. I am also very interested in the spirituality of food and how faith impacts the choices people make around eating. I am writing articles and perhaps one day a book on this topic.

Congratulations (from a long-time, on-and-off lurker)! I am pregnant, too, and I found out in November that I am having a boy. (He'll be our second.) I was so sure it was going to be a girl, though, that I had all sorts of girl names floating around my head. The one I was closest to was Claire Mathilde. Now we do have a nice boy's name picked out, but we're keeping it a secret, too. Anyway, good luck with your pregnancy!
One of the things we seriously considered doing was choosing a middle name based on the saint for the day she was born. She was 15 days postdate so we went through a lot of possibilities, some of them quite beautiful (others which made my mother shake her head in disbelief--"Martyrs of Uganda" was quite the nominal challenge). As it happened there was no saint for her birthday so we went with "Madalyn" as a tribute to Grandmom.
How about "Dunia"
