Irony

Sitting at my desk this morning I was paged for a phone call. On the other end of the phone happened to be my fast talking husband... to tell me of a coincidence he discovered, and was very excited about it.

While pregnant, I can clearly recall telling Andy to think of cool boys names 'just in case'. I was adamant that I was having a girl anyway, but suggested that he listened to names in the NHL and if he heard one to write it down. Before I knew it 'Johan' was our baby's name in utero. Each day he would rub my belly and talk to it letting little 'Johan' that Daddy loved s/him. (Shim as I called it). Ultrasound photos were introduced as Johan. Nonetheless, Johan became and everyday name but obviously I had settled on Hudson.

The phone call this morning was to let me know that Hudson and Johan Franzen (DET) share the same birth date.

Ironic.
