Meet Our New Baby Girl!


Here is my daughter! Not too bad, eh? This is a profile view. That's her head on the right, and if you look closely you can make out a nose, mouth and chin. Her official due date is July 24, 2010, but the baby doctor has requested her presence a week early.


We're taking suggestions for names. I like "Olivia." Our church is on Olive in St. Louis, so I like that connection. I thought "Olivia" was very unique, until I learned that it's the sixth most popular name for baby girls. I also like Amelia Faith---Amelia means work, or industrious. Faith and works---get it? Christina is compiling her list. I'll post a poll here and put the matter to a non-binding vote as soon as we've narrowed it down to several options.

  2. Congrats! I LOVE the name Olivia...Tom, however was not so excited about it, and so neither of our girls bear that name. So happy for you and your family and can't wait to meet the little lady! :)

  3. Somebody at work today suggested Helga! Christina likes Anna. We'll see. We're getting a dog for Easter, and I'm pretty sure it will be named Cookie, or maybe Chipper. There's a lot less pressure when it comes to dog names.
