We saw the ultrasound photos, and we said, &#8220;He&#8217;s Leo Nathaniel&#8221;. Ultimately, that was easy. I wrote about the name Leo awhile back, never imagining that someday I&#8217;d [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=xanthelinnea.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6418503&amp;post=850&amp;subd=xanthelinnea&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
