A few people have inquired about the name Alisabel, so I thought I’d dedicate a post to Zoe’s middle name. Q and I wanted to honor both his paternal grandpa (first name: Alvin) and my maternal grandma (middle name: Isabelle), so we decided to combine the two names. It’s actually pronounced like Elizabeth, but with a “bell” at the end. So: eh-liz-eh-bell. As for her first name, we both liked the name Zoe – and it also honors Q’s maternal grandma, Zahava.<\/p>\n
Also, I should point out that the second photo gallery is now up. It’s located on the right and is called “Zoe’s First Days at Home.” She looks a lot different than her early (hospital) days, doesn’t she??<\/p>\n

PS. After I posted this, Zoe’s doctor called and said her platelets are WAY up: over 300K! (She had blood work done this morning.) That is the best news we’ve gotten in awhile, and we are thrilled! Yea, platelets!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
