Don't make assumptions...

So, we've been so excited that we are naming the baby after both her grandmothers. What we didn't check was how to spell those names! Will's mom was easy because she goes by Mary Carroll and we see her name all the time. Ann was my mom's middle name though and she took her maiden name so we never saw this name written down. I completely assumed she spelled it Anne and just found out the other day when I was talking to her that neither she nor my grandmother had an "e" on the end of Ann. So, I've been spelling her name wrong... hahaha.... and now it is officially Ann Carroll. I'm just glad we had this conversation before we were all at the hospital signing the birth certificate! And it made me feel better my brother thought there was an "e" too. Already spelling my child's name wrong... what next? hahahaha

Hahaha! I can relate...Elliana's middle name Mae was after my grandmother, Eva May! Oops! I always thought it was MAE, but I found out too late. I like the spelling "Mae" better though, so it all works out. Granny isn't offended. :)
