and the baby’s name is:

March 26, 2009

Well, there you have it. And yes, this is the winner of the poll I put here on the blog. So you may take full credit, friends. (Especially you, Kipp, ’cause I know you voted more than once).By the way, although Jafta is now enthusiastic, please know that there were MANY tears shed when we had a family meeting to tell the kids the name of their baby sister. Jafta had his heart set on Coconut, and he was dead serious about it. He wailed, he cried, and I did my best not to laugh at a four-year-old’s earnestness in saying, “But I wanted to name her Coconut!!” If you see him, best not to bring him up. It’s still a sensitive subject around here.

    Love it! What’s the middle name? I am 2.5 weeks from my due date and we can’t settle on a middle name. Chad asked me this morning while getting ready for work and I just threw the covers over my head!
