Week #35: Happy Mother's Day, EQM!

Week #35.  This Sunday, May 12th, will be EQM's first Mother's Day.  Next year will definitely be more exciting for her with Baby Girl Mulvaney in her life, but let me be one of the first to wish EQM a very happy Mother's Day 2013!

Let's kick off Week #35 with a beautiful photo of the happy parents-to-be at their baby shower last weekend.  



EQM's sister, Liz, and her boss and friend, Chris, planned and hosted the event at Chris's beautiful home in San Diego.  I love the fact that it was a co-ed shower and I'm sure Matt did, too!  Since Baby Girl Mulvaney's nursery has been decorated with a Winnie the Pooh theme, Chris and Liz added some really sweet "Pooh" touches to the event.  So adorable!  The "parents-to-bee" received lots of wonderful gifts from friends and family members, including some really nice books for their sweet baby girl.   Her grandparents look forward to reading some of those books to her!

So with a June 12th due date fast approaching,  there's not much time left for me to come up with that perfect name for Baby Girl Mulvaney.  And I also know that her parents may not need or want my suggestions at this point.... but I can have fun, right?   The parents-to-be certainly aren't giving us any hints, so let's just roll with this until Baby Girl Mulvaney arrives and we find out!

This week's choice of name has an obvious connection to the Pooh theme, and it would be a nice shout out to one of Matt's great-aunts, a retired kindergarten teacher, who is the kindest, sweetest lady ever.  Its origin is primarily Welsh and the meaning is all encompassing:  fair, pure, happiness, holy, blessed reconciliation, joy and peace, first born daughter.  Wow!  This name has it all!  And believe it or not, the most famous individual with this name is a bear who happens to be Christopher Robin's best friend. Why not?
