Knowing is Half the Battle

We found out what the seh of our child is this month. Yes, I said seh. Our family has an inside joke that we don't say sex because it is a bad word. Instead we just say seh. That has kind of morphed into other uses such as call me on my seh phone rather than cell phone but I digress. Anyway, Kuulei and I went down for an ultra sound Dec 14th the Monday after I came home from Grenada. I had a huge smile on my face just like cookie monster always does when he sees cookies. I saw a head, arms, legs, and then we got down to the nitty gritty to see if it was a boy or girl. I saw what seemed to be a boy then all the sudden the ultrasound got into focus and there was no doubt we were having a girl! I was very happy and excited but at the same time I thought, "heaven help me when she is a teenager". I am sure I will be one of those dads. We had Ezekiel as a name for a boy and Alette for a girl's name so looks like our daughter is going to be called Alette Ke'Alohimaikalanimai Harker. I have been practicing saying her middle name. Kuulei's eldest brother came up with the middle name for us, it means the shining brilliance from heaven here upon us. I thought that was quite fitting because that is how I feel about the whole thing. Our little angel, I can't wait to see her in person.
