Last week, Lexi told us that the baby could have the same name as she has, because she wants to share everything with the baby. How sweet, right? We had to explain to her that you don't usually give two children the same name, because it would be too confusing. "But my name's great!" Yes. Yes it is. You are great.
Matt and I have been discussing baby names though. We haven't come to any decisions just yet, because we both have some strong opinions on this topic. I'm concerned that we'll finally pick a name and then the expectant mother will hate it or something. Eek!
We were a family of three who grew our family through the process of open, domestic, transracial adoption. God has blessed us and we are thankful.

Pretty Rainbow
Matt and I have discussed names a bit, but we aren't settled on anything just yet. It is a fun thing to think about while we are in the midst of preparing for the homestudy.
Lexi declared that she has the perfect name for the baby, "Pretty!"
"Pretty?"
"Yes, Pretty Rainbow."
Well, I suppose that is an idea, but I'm pretty sure my undercover hippie status would be blown out of the water.
She's really thought it through too, "If it is a girl, she will be Pretty Rainbow Girl. If it is a boy, he can be Pretty Rainbow Boy." Brilliant!
I told her that Pretty Rainbow might just have to be her nickname for the baby. She's seriously in love with the idea of naming the baby Pretty Rainbow.
Now, she said all of this right before bed last night, so I thought she might just let it go. Nope. The first she said upon waking this morning was, "You remember what I want to name the baby right?"
"I do."
"Pretty Rainbow Girl or Boy!"
