The Name Game

Because I've been asked this question a lot, I'm putting the answer to Jen's question as a separate post, rather than a comment.

We haven't chosen a name yet. To be honest, we really haven't talked about it that much. Occasionally we'll bat names around (generally while laying in bed right before we fall asleep). It's not because we fight about it (as does one couple in our SS class) - it's mainly because we both have a hard time pinning down a name without seeing her. I think we are pretty settled on a first name but that could change once she arrives. We haven't really told any of the names on our list - mainly to keep the peanut gallery quiet. It's been nice not having to fend off hideous names. Once people find out we aren't telling anything they stop volunteering.

As for what we call her right now - it's very original - "the baby". :-)

Uncle Jack and Aunt Julie call the baby- No Name. :)

Piper symphathizes with the baby as she was the puppy for several days and we could see what she looked like. She says that she is going to call her the "peanut" in stead of a name until one can be agreed upon. She also wishes she could come to the shower, but regrets to inform you that she will be with her boyfriend Hugo all weekend with Annabelle as chaperone. Mom will be coming bearing gifts, though.

I guess I just can't compete with a boy. :-)

It's funny you call her peanut. Several people at work described one of the early ultrasounds as looking like a peanut with a bow-tie.
