The story behind Mango...

I know there are a few people out there that are very confused that we have nicknamed our first child Mango. Here's the story behind the name...

Just two weeks after we found out we were pregnant we flew to Hawaii (the trip had been planned months in advance, the pregnancy was just a bonus!) to vacation with Cheri's parents and visit with Nolan's parents. We were so blessed to be able to tell both our parents the great news in person in Hawaii! While we were in Hawaii I ate TONS of mangos. (They are much better in Hawaii). Nolan made the joke that our baby better not come out orange from me eating too many mangos. Then it just became the perfect nickname because we didn't want to call the baby "it" and we couldn't think of anything else that was cute. We just decided we would call the baby mango and it caught on! And yes, Nolan has already nicknamed our next child guava. But we won't have to worry about that for a while...one step at a time!!!

Our little Mango will have a real name soon! We have our 20 week appointment December 18th! We will be getting an ultrasound to determine the gender and to measure the growth and progress. But we won't really know the gender until Christmas morning.

Be sure to log on 2-3 days after Christmas to find out the gender of our little Mango!!!
