We Met the Doula

Today was pretty exciting because we got to meet our doula, Melissa, in person for the first time. We both really liked her. She seems to have a great reputation, too. I keep hearing good things about her. I hear that she and my doctor work really well together as a team, too. Thank goodness.

In baby name news, I've really appreciated all the feedback from everyone. I'll add a few points in defense of Sophia as a middle name that I hadn't mentioned in my previous post:
-Like Calla, it's from the Greek, so the names complement one another.
-Sophia comes from a Greek word that means Wisdom.
-I like the rhythm or meter of the two names together.
-When we decided, some years back, that we would have a baby someday, we would refer to our "imaginary baby" as Sophia/Sophie. This was before the name shot to the top of the baby name popularity charts, though. Once I became pregnant, we decided that her first name would not be Sophia or Sophie (or anything else on the Top Ten Most Popular Baby Names list).
-We both think it's a beautiful name. :)
-My mom REALLY likes it!
-Then there was this:
