Baby octopus/el​mo or baby Dora?

We are all so excited for this new arrival. I'm in my 20th week and still feel like I've been pregnant for 90, feeling lots of pain in my back, etc. However, I've been happy that I can eat more stuff, too ( I was just told this last month I gained 6 pounds thanks to my mom's tortillas). Anyway Glenn and I made our bets. He kept saying it was a boy and I kept saying it was a girl. The kids know that Mom is always right, but just in case Ian tells me "mom, if it's a boy we can call him octopus, but if it's a girl we can name her Dora. I really wish it could be a boy." Nicky kept wishing for a boy so we could have the matched 3 girls and 3 boys in the house. I tried to prepare her this morning just in case I was right again. Hanna kept poking at my belly and calling the baby "baby Elmo." Well, we have the results of the ultrasound and, just so you know, we would have been happy either way. Here are the pictures of our new baby:

No we won't name him Elmo/octopus or Dora. However as we did with Ian we are asking our family and friends suggestions on names. It's always hard to find the good one. I remember Aunt Helen suggested Ian and he is definitely an Ian :)

Until next time...
