Yay!
So excited for you and your family, Laurie!
You're an inspiration to people everywhere. Life goes on. You are so strong and brave. This is sure to be a VERY special boy. And I have two names in the finals, woo hoo! I was really close to using Phoenix for my son. When the time came we thought he was a Lucas, and it suits him so well. You'll know when you see him for the first time...or if you need to wait a few days that's o.k. too. Take your time.
Phoenix is suitable though, since it is a bird that is continually reborn from it's own ashes...Life goes on.
I'll be thinking of you on the fourth.
Celeste
