Adam Pictures

Here he is, folks. Born today 2:09 pm; 9 lbs., 6 oz; 20 inches; and purple.

Adam Something?

Well, tomorrow is the big day. Another birthday for me to try to rememeber. While Connor and Alex are in Delaware, assisting at the Bishop's Instalation ceremonies, Mommom will watch the rest of the crew while Vicki and I head over the bridge for baby delivering. We stil don't have a definite name picked out, but it looks like the first name will be Adam. I know, it doesn't make sense to have the First Man's name be our eighth kid's name, but I think we've all agreed on the first name. The next decision is the middle name. Paul, Daniel, or Joseph are the top choices right now. I know, some weirdos like me automatically think "twelve" as in Adam Twelve, the old TV show, but now I'm showing my age. It won't be Adam Twelve (or even Adam Eight), I can guarantee that. Now, if he was the twelfth kid, I wouldn't be able resist.

So, pray for us tomorrow. Let's hope it all goes as well as it has the last six times we visited the maternity ward. Send us you mental choices: Adam Paul, Adam Daniel, or Adam Joseph. I'll let you know which one wins when the Birth Certificate is complete.

New Due Date

Due to our busy schedule of softball (several days a week), soccer (four kids playing, including two travel teams), football, piano, etc, we decided that the best day to have a baby would be a Monday. The only thing affected would be piano, and I'm hoping I'll be able to get Kenzie to softball practice on Tuesday. The hospital is kinda in the neighborhood; at least it's in the same county as the field. So, with the doctor's blessing, we chose this coming Monday to induce baby's arrival. New due Date: 9/8/08. With the delivery date looming, we are now feeling a bit of name desparation. There has been no obvious choice for this boy. It was easier to choose with the older kids; there were more names to pick from, and fewer people around to include in the decision. Trying to get nine of us to agree on anything is harder than getting Barak to pick Hilary as Veep. If anyone out there has any suggestions, let me know, maybe you'll come up with something we can all agree on.

64 Days?

Can you believe it's only 64 days until the next kid is due to arrive? I can't. Time flies.

Number 8...or more?
