The 9 months thing is a bit misleading. it's more like 10 really, when you take into account that they start counting from the date of your last period. It's 40 weeks, average.

Women are actually pregnant for more than 9 months. 40 weeks is considered full-term, and the big gender-determining sonogram is done at 20 weeks (i.e., about 4 1/2 months.) So she has about another 20 weeks from the date of the sonogram. I'm assuming that was recent, so June 1st sounds about right. First pregnancies are more often late than early anyway.

My son was born on May 31st last year (and I recall my sonogram was a couple of days after New Years too), so maybe they'll share a birthday.

In American dialects it usually does-- Eye-err-land.

Technically it's a dipthong, but we tend to stretch those out.

Ah. Maybe I never heard an American say it. Thanks. Weird, but thanks. We say Ire-land. Never occurred to me there was any other way, but it probably shoud have.

In which case I'd vote against a first name with 3 syllables. Too many over all.

Nina is perfect. As you were.

You can't go wrong naming the kid after what you were drunk on when it was conceived ...

You can track the progress of a marriage that way -or so my kids Love, Chardonnay, Bud, Betty-Ford and Meths tell me.

My wife seems pretty attached to Nina Michelle Ireland. It's growing on me too.
