Hey Hsta, congrats on the baby and getting her home.
Thanks, we find out Friday how much longer she will be on the IV antibiotics. She is really back to her old self again now... well, as "old" as 8 months can be considered... heh. Anyway, she is being able to walk and crawl again at full speed. I can't begin to tell you how HUGE a relief that is after going so long without her moving her left leg at all.
On a side note, she has developed a serious mistrust of anyone coming near her wearing blue.
Jadzia? Seriously? Well, lets hope she grows up to be as beautiful and smart as the "real" Jadzia!
Yes, indeed, her name is Jadzia Marie Haines and, naturally, her nickname is "Baby Dax." She is named after my wife's favorite Star Trek character. There is family history on my wife's side with this since her younger sister Kalynda, Jadzia's aunt, was named after an alien female from TOS. In fact, out of my 4 kids, my eldest daughter is the only one that doesn't have a "Star Trek" name. Instead, Annie is named after my older sister Sueanne that died of bone cancer when she was 14. In age between Annie and Jadzia are my two boys James T. and Benjamin.
My best friend I was in the Gulf War with named his son Montgomery Scott, so it might to be more common than one would suppose.
P.S. "Jadzia" also happens to be the Polish word for "Princess" so that is what we tell all the non-Trekkers who ask about her name.
