And.........she's off to work!

Andi, that is. If everything continues the way it is right now, she should be off bed rest and back to work in the morning. Thank you all for your prayers.

Andi announced their choice of names for the baby on her blog, so I can now put them on mine. They had minimal trouble coming up with a girl's name. They were just torn between two. A girl will be named Abby Jo.

For the boy's name, we did it scientifically. In a moment of boredom last week, Andi and I each put 10 choices in a hat and drew them out. We agreed (without Jacob around) that the last one drawn would be IT. I did the drawing and it was just a fluke - honestly - that the first four drawn were her choices, eliminating them from consideration.

Next I drew out my first one and I'm sad to tell you that the baby will not be named Franklin Delano. Up on the chopping block after that, we eliminated Perry Donald...I have no idea who that would be named after.

The last one I drew out was mine and it is actually the one they have decided to go with. A baby boy will be named Keegan Levi. Levi is not set in stone and if you want to suggest anything, go right ahead.

Some that you can just leave off because they've already been vetoed would include Adam, Walker, Benjamin, Michael, Joseph, David, Scott, Christopher, James, Joshua, Josiah, Lee, Emerson, Cooper, Bryson, Todd, Andrew, Brock, John, Daniel, Parker, Perry (j/k), Jacob, Manning, Tyler, Taylor, Carter, Spencer, Matthew, Alexander, Logan, Nicholas, Christian, Samuel, Elijah, Jack, Lucas, Isaiah, Jordan, Thomas, Hayden, Grant, Travis, Shawn, Israel, Maddox, Simon, Simeon, Asher, Quinn, Griffin, Ryder, Lincoln, Lexington, Myles, Phillip, Declan, Liam, Finn, Bryan, Jackson, Silas, Elliot, Reed, Chandler, Issac, Jameson, Porter, Aaron and Graham ...plus about a thousand others I can't think of right now.
But really - feel free to make suggestions.

For the purposes of calling the baby something before we know the sex of it, we will be calling the baby, "Keeby". Thank you God for keeping Keeby safe and growing during the past week.
