Wow - it took me a second to realize that was Donna and your baby! I love those ultrasounds, it gets you in contact with the baby way before delivery. Does Sara understand and see the baby? I'll bet there's excitement all throughout your family.
Sarah can't wait for her, as she insists, little brother. What do ya'll think of the name Benjamin? Ben Potter...a good, strong name, I think. (Bennie and/or Benjie NOT ALLOWED!)
I like the name Ben. But I think its important to try to think like a middle-school kid when picking names. For instance, I remember a kid in Junior High named Ben. He hated his name because people called him Ben-dover. Maybe I'm just more sensitive to this having gone through 9 years of public school as...well, you know what I mean.
We were going to name Erik "Loren", Dave's middle name, until we realized kids would tease him. Erik is pretty strong, Loren is his middle name. I had to ask Dave about the Ben tease name. We like the name Ben, there aren't very many Bens so we have nothing to add about behavior. Some names have reputations. Matthews and Adams, watch out! Dave suggested taking letters from all the girls to combine to a boy's name. Hmmmm
That is awesome Uncle Tom congratulations. As for the names I agree you need to think of all the potential teasing kids can be very cruel. I like Ben its a very good name.

Boy? Girl? It doesn't matter as long as he or she looks more like Donna and less like Tom!
Congratulations! : )
