Baby Godwin's First Gift

Just so you all know Baby Godwin has alot of names...none of which Michael or I have coined. Mamma calls her Baby Godwin, and she was the giver of the first gift. See it pictured below. It is a little shirt by Gerber that she stiched the trim on while Daddy drove them to the Delta for Nancy and Roger's wedding. She wrapped it in a blue bag which Michael took as a good sign. Please note her "A" in the back of the shirt. She is working on her signature. I put it next to Lauren's purple ink pen so ya'll can see how small it is. It is for a 5-8 lb. newborn...and I am hoping it will fit the baby just right. 5-8 lbs. seems like a good healthy weight...10 lbs. scares me! Back to Baby Godwin's many names: Elizabeth calls her Elizabeth Jr. Tracy and Carolyn decided to call her Clyde, Melanie calls her Simon, and Veronica calls her Cleophus.

I think Elizabeth is calling her Elizabeth Jr. because she thinks if she has to share her birthday with the baby she should get something. When I called Elizabeth and told her I was pregnant she replied, "What...I thought I was done celebrating you for a while." So needless to say she loved hearing the due date of December 13th was the day before her birthday.

I think you should name the baby Punky Brewster. It's the perfect name for a girl or a boy!
