Mira Michelle Dewsnup

!!! It's a miracle...she has a name!!!
haha.
I realized it's been a couple weeks since I've blogged. I do the same thing everyday. Tend to a crying baby. It's a good life. She actually slept for a six hour stretch last night. I was amazed! ...she calls... must go. Hopefully I'll get a pic up soon since she's a month tomorrow!

Wikipedia:
Mira, pronounced /ˈmaɪrə/, also known as Omicron Ceti (or ο Ceti / ο Cet), is a red giant star estimated 200-400 light years away in the constellation Cetus. Mira is a binary star, consisting of the red giant Mira A along with Mira B. Mira A is also an oscillating variable star and was the first non-supernova variable star discovered, with the possible exception of Algol. Apart from the unusual Eta Carinae, Mira is the brightest periodic variable in the sky that is not visible to the naked eye for part of its cycle. Its distance is uncertain; pre-Hipparcos estimates centered around 220 light-years,(1) while Hipparcos data suggests a distance of 418 light-years, albeit with a margin of error of ~14%.

is it totally silly that Rob found the name because of the red giant?? haha. Though I think in that case it's pronounced different.
