Writing the previous post without telling the baby's name was not so smart. So here goes: Our baby's name is Léo James Mathias. It's pronounced lay-o, not lee-o. We can't wait to meet him. 3 more weeks!
Update: Oh, and while I'm at it... Mathias is "mat-ee-as."

Love it!!
Many, many people have much trouble pronouncing Shea and Isla ;) 'Sheee-ah? Eeeee-sss-la?' Um, no.
I just *love* his name! Good job guys!
Hahaha (laughing at the last post)! Oh no you didn't. :-) "lay-o" is also the Spanish pronunciation, so at least the French and Spanish speakers will always get it right! That said, you, and Léo, might have to be correcting people all of your lives but that's ok because it's such a WONDERFUL name you won't mind repeating it over and over (especially once you're holding him in your arms and you can say it to his face!) (Actually I'm in love with ALL of his names, so please don't mind me if I call him by all of them for a very long time.)
And Portuguese speakers. Probably a lot more out there too...
