bananarama's Writing Congrats - Round 1
Sorry, but no sign-ups welcome.
Anyway, one year has passed. The couples have all had babies. The naming rules will vary from person to person.
There are no bad events in this round. But be warned: their may be a loss of a job, an affair, a divorce, a death in the family, or something else bad in later rounds. One of the spouses could even die. Anything can happen, so be prepared.
For the writing, write anything you want in addition to the event.
Note: I forgot to require you to put down your UN when you posted to the sign-ups. So do it from now on.

When pregnant, Jennifer could not determine whether the baby was a girl or a boy. This made it hard to think of names for the baby. They knew that the middle name would be Jade, as they loved it on both a girl and a boy, but they had troubles with finding the first names. Romano prefers the name to sound a bit Italian, however Jennifer liked either really long names or really short names. Lacey was on their shortlist and when she came out R&J just knew that she was a Lacey. Parents and Baby are now doing well.

Is it possible that I could get a different random event?
Or at least, ignore this one? I actually didn't see it and wrote my family's little story, and then went back and saw it. I really can't figure out how to work it in.
And, for accuracy's sake, my family is actually currently unable to adopt a child from China.
("Age Requirements: Both parents must be between the ages of 30 and 50. Those couples who apply to adopt a special needs child must be between the ages of 30 and 55." -- http://adoption.state.gov/country/china.html#who1)
Here's what I wrote before I saw the random event:

DS: Mordecai Noll "Cai"
Very soon after they were married, Larry and Janis found they were expecting a baby. They weren't exactly planning it, since Janis still hadn't found work and Larry was very busy at the hospital almost all the time, but they were thrilled when they saw that thin blue line.
The left the sex of the baby a surprise until it's birth, and were very happy to have a son. Larry let Janis pick the name, as long as she ran it by him first, and she went through several names before they agreed on Mordecai, nicknamed Cai. They chose Noll as a middle name, even though it's a nickname. They just loved the sound of it.
Cai is now 2 months old and is a very happy healthy little boy. He has begun rolling over.
Larry and Janis Catchlove have Cai Catchlove.

Wil and Bekah were surprised to find that Bekah was already expecting so soon after their marriage! They were even more surprised to find out that it was twins! Brayden Iarlaith and Jayden Cathal were born on July 29th, nine months after Wil and Bekah got married. Luckily, the Bekah was able to finish out the school year. She doesn't intend to go back next year. Wil makes enough money to support the four of them. He's still showing--on a pro circuit now! He also trains horses during the week. Wil and Bekah's house was finished four months before the twins were born. It has eight bedrooms and lots of space for the family to grow. Bekah isn't sure what they're going to do with all of the bedrooms, but right now they have the master, the boys share the nursery, one is an office for Wil, one is a den, two are guest bedrooms, and the last bedroom is just used for storage currently--until Wil can build a garage.
