Rudolph the red nosed fetus

So unfortunately due to crazy hormones I keep having dreams in the middle of the night that are very crazy and at the same time very real to me. On one occasion mid december I was falling asleep as Dave was flipping through the channels on our TV and he came across the clamation Christmas Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Special. I fall asleep.
Some background information on the dream is that the original decendant of Dave's family from Switzerland was named Rudolph Frederick. I dreamed that we MUST name our baby Rudolph and that we would call him Rudy for short. Not only is it a family name but for those of you who know my husband it would fullfill all sorts of life dreams about a kid who is five foot seven walking on to a college football team. At least in my crazy dream filled sleep this all made perfect sense.
When I awoke Dave at 4:00 am to explain my new revalation and its perfection for our child..... Dave was less than thrilled. However, as we have found on our family vacation to Mexico it has a pretty good ring to it and the nickname Rudy seems to have stuck :) :). Our rules are that it will be an in-vitro name only for the poor kids sake.

See if I had read this first, I would have understood the Rudy thing from the Christmas post!
