Yes, we've decided on Kailey Ann Nelson. Heather and I had strongly considered that name for months, but we really struggled with the spelling. There are about nine different spellings and we just chose the one we like the best.
Heather is doing very well and our little girl is very hungry. She actually looks a lot like Ethan did when he was born, but she acts a little different. Notably, she sticks her tongue out ALL THE TIME.
Even before she was born we could see her on the ultrasound sticking her tongue out at us.
Maybe this is normal, but Ethan is tongue-tied, so he's never stuck his tongue out at us including his first few hours of life. The other different activity is that this baby is much more mellow and subdued than Ethan was. She's far quieter and much more content to just lie there and look at you rather than needing to do something. Our fingers are crossed that she'll stay that way for at least a little while.

I'll let Heather gush on in a different posting about how adorable Ethan was when he came in, but it was VERY cute.
