Congratulations!

re: naming suggestions, what about the name of one of the grandmothers/great-grandmothers? Catherine was the name of both of my grandmothers, which made it an easy choice.

Btw, I kept meaning to reply to your email but never had time. But yes, having a baby to hold on Christmas this year was the best thing ever. :-) I can't believe she's three months old already!

Please note that I have corrected the post to reflect that Grandpa Daley will be 90 this year.

Ah, yes, other October birthdays. I'll have plenty of chances to make someone I know happy. (:

DSTB - not only is there H, I, J, but the children's middle names are C, D. So we were trying to think of a name K.E. but it just wasn't working for a boy. And any girl name would have spelling trouble. So we gave up on that, but later I realized that N.H. does follow the pattern, only skipping down the alphabet.

I like Noelle for a girl name, but Barbara has already pointed out that it would be hard having a Noah and a Noelle in the same household (she had a Jon and a Josh so she knows.) And really, that name is best for a December birthday anyway.

People are welcome to make suggestions, but keep in mind that we don't do too much thinking ahead of time, preferring to meet the baby before finding his/her name.

Oops, I meant five generations, and the last one runs off the edge of the page.... It's a pretty even distribution, with a slight bias towards girls, just as one might expect: 72 girls, 67 boys, 3 unknown.

Just for fun, I decided to look at the sex distribution on Heather's side back four generations. Of course we all know how important the male line is for determining sex, but I'm not convinced the data mean anything anyway, so Jon's side is left as an exercise for the reader.

Parents:gg

Grandparents:bg/gbbg

GGrandparents:gb/bg/bg/gggb

I think big brother Noah already has claim to Hezekiah.

I had thought of the name Peter yesterday (I don't know why). Before Noah was born, I had been trying to come up with a "K" name because the Daley's already had H, I & J, but then they jumped to N, so I guess I don't need to keep an alphabetical order going.

Yes, I will be guessing that baby Daley will be a boy. (Sorry Jonathan) Isn't there some medical evidence to support that if you have already had several children of the same sex, you are more likely to have that same sex again?

Don't forget a couple of VIA's (Very Important Aunts)!

Hmmm, Jon beating you in Scrabble...that's a critical sign. Have to pit you against Stephan sometime....

Oh, and I totally didn't read the title of the post, so I got to the second paragraph then looked at the title. I initially thought the post was just about how everyone keeps asking you :-).

Wow, congratulations! That's really nice spacing! I think I had been wondering when the next was going to come, but of course wasn't going to ask :-).
