Dear Baby Sebastian,
First of all, I realize that in a few weeks when our NIPT testing results come back, I may have to change the name I have provided you with. You're probably wondering "Why Sebastian?"
As much as I do appreciate "the Little Mermaid", that is not the cause of your namesake. I have been dreaming about baby names long before you became an embryo and eventually a fetus. I also have an intuition I have XY chromosomes floating around in there, but I could be wrong.
When your Mama was approximately 14, I really thought I would someday marry a boy named Sebastian. Sebastian was going to be cool, smart, musical, and probably wear glasses. He was going to be calm and collected with no criminal record. He was going to be well-dressed, and different from all the other boys with brown eyes.
I did not end up marrying a boy named Sebastian. I married your father, Ryan. Your dad was an exceptional candidate for the qualifications of marriage, even though his name wasn't Sebastian.
When I informed your dad of the name Sebastian, he started to sing one of the tunes from "The Little Mermaid", laughed, and said "no". (He has a funny sense of humor sometimes...). So while you are in my womb, I will call you Sebastian.
Or at least until our NIPT testing informs me that you are not a boy. Then, we will have to come up with a new name for you - which I have plenty to choose from. Don't worry, your nickname won't be Sebastianette.
Sincerely,
Your Madre
