Ta Da! You've been named!

Hey Bella,

Here I am with you at almost 9 months. Not feeling to great lately because the extra weight (you!) ;o), is not helping with my hip issues, and therefore I not only waddle like a duck (which I'm sure you love the rocking), but also I can't walk too far without pain.

Everyone says that it will all be worth it once you are born and in my arms, and I'm sure that will be the case.

We have FINALLY found a name for you, and just in the nick of time. After much searching through our English and French baby name books, and your Papa wanting a common English name, and me a unique French name, we came up with "Elodine Olive Vilain" (pronounced "EL-OH-DEEN").

Elodie was one that I chose from the French name book that your Aunt Vero bought us, and your Dad liked the sound of it. The book says that you are named after a French actress. The middle name is my doing, so I apologize in advance, but your Mom loves to eat olives. Because I know that I am going to love you, and I can always say "Olive You" (I love you), I thought this was an appropriate middle name for you. So therefore, you will be my little olive.
