Expecting my first child in October

[ladycrystala.livejournal.com]

Today is my first wedding anniversary. My husband and I have been together for almost 4 years and married one year. We're expecting our first baby in October. Funny thing is that on our 3rd date Ryan tossed this question at me: "so you want children?" "sure" I tell him. Then he tells me that he wants kids and already has names for them! LOL! I love the names.

We'll find in early June if we are having a boy or a girl. For a boy we have Wesley Ryan Sullivan. For a girl we have Alora Jane Sullivan. We went with Ryan as a middle name to continue a tradition in his family. Jane is my mother-in-law's name and I though it was pretty with Alora. The first names came from his two favorite heros in his two favorite movies. Alora was the baby's name in Willow. Wesley was the hero in the Princess Bride. Yep, my dear husband is a romantic sort of fellow. LOL

Anyhow, in June I'll introduce you to our little one! We can't wait!

I think the Princess Bride dude's name was actually Westley, but I like Wesley, too. :)

Nice names! Congratulations on your little one; they're such blessings.

You're right. I think my husband was going for the Irish spelling of Wesley. I like the way it sounds with Ryan.

Yeah, the hero in the Princess Bride was actually Westley :) It's a nice name either way, though.

Yay!

I'm going nuts over Alora Jane right now, absolutely gorgeous! I'm soooo suggesting this to the husband when he gets home. I just think it's so lovely and 'different' without being STUPID. Wonderful name! I hope you have a girl ;) I think it's Westley too, but I like Wesley MUCH better. Keep us posted with how everything goes!

Would you mind terribly if I added you? You seem very interesting.

Pretty huh? I love it as well as the spelling. It sounds so pretty.

Aww, congratulations. :) And I like the name Alora. It's unusual. Alora. I really like it.

The characters of which you speak are actually Westley and Elora (I love Willow and The Princess Bride) not that that matters if you like the other names you mentioned, just saying.

Thanks! Ryan and I were wondering how Elora was spelled. Now we know. I think he's going for a more conventional spelling of Wesley.
