New Job, Capri, and your thoughts

I have finished my first week at Mercy. The first two days were for hospital orientation, Thursday for a computer class and CPR. And yesterday, Friday, my first shift in the NICU. 12 hours is hard. The people that I work with are really nice and I know that I will love them. I'm so excited to learn everything I can.
On another note, Capri is so exciting! For the past week or so we have been able to actually see her kicks on my belly. I wake up in the morning and the first thing I do is put my hand my belly to feel her kicking. She kicks when I roll over to lay on my other side. This morning she did something that made my belly go up in two different places. I can't help but feel a little thrill every time. Speaking of Capri, we keep changing her middle name. We've played with Luisa, Olivia, Elise, Mia, Milagros, and Ruth. Okay, he hasn't really liked Elise, Olivia, or Ruth. For the past few weeks we've said that her middle name will be Mia. But I wanted something more special for her. She's our little miracle. While we were at Walmart this week, I brought it up that I would like Milagros for her middle name. Leo said that he had been thinking the same thing. So, we are pretty certain that will be her middle name. But we also might shorten it to just Mili. Thoughts? Ideas? Tell us what you think.

Milagros goes better with Capri.
Plus people might call her Milli Vanilli.

Hmmm I was about to say I liked Mili, but then I read Phil's comment. Milli Vanilli is old school, though, so her peers probably won't think about it. And you're pronouncing it differently, too. So, I still like Mili. (For the record, I liked Mia, but Mili goes better with "Capri".)

She is a miracle for our whole family-and Milagros is the perfect name. It goes well with Capri too.
It'll be a beautiful name for a beautiful baby-
