And the ultrasound says...

It’s another girl!!!
Sorry for the delay everyone in posting a message on our web site or for emailing.
We had our ultrasound today and found out that Grace will have a little sister. She looks well and is healthy (and active too!)
Her name will be Emilea Faith. Emilea is pronounced just like Amelia. We are spelling it differently for two reasons: 1. Paul’s great-grandfather that immigrated to the U.S. from Sweden was named Emil. This is Paul’s way of paying tribute to that. 2. Bloomquist is obviously Swedish and we looked it up and Emilea is the proper Swedish spelling for Amelia. So yes, we are one of those parents that spells kids’ names weird.
We would send you pictures to show off the new little girl, but she was camera shy. Every time the tech would get her to turn towards the “camera” she would quickly turn her face the other way. So we don’t have any cute face or body ultrasounds. But we know for sure that it’s a girl with ten fingers and ten toes.
All is well and we’re still set on a June due date!

Love,
Paul, Kelli & Grace Bloomquist
