What's in a name?
So, we have been a little slack in updating our blog and for that we apologize. But concern yourself no more with whether we will update more frequently because, I assure you, we shall! We made a New Year's resolution and everything, and everyone knows those things are never reneged on.
For our first post of the new year we figured we would bring out the big gun: the baby name. After weeks and weeks of thoughtful consideration we have decided to name our baby girl...
Lana Joyce Barnes!
Wow. Now that we wrote it on the internet there is no turning back! Seriously though, we are pleased with the name we found ourselves drawn to. We knew from the beginning that her middle name would be Joyce, named for Christy's late grandmother.
Lana...is the name of Superman's high school girlfriend. That's right. While she appears in the comics/graphic novels, Christy first heard the name and took a strong liking to it as we watched the TV show Smallville, which is based on the graphic novel "Superman For All Seasons". Now, for those of you that are thinking I'm the one that pushed this name because you know I am a huge geek please know that it was Christy's suggestion and insistence that we go with this name. I mean, everyone knows that if I had been allowed to force a name our first child - male or female - would have been named Batman Frodo Barnes. That's just how I roll.
In all seriousness, we are very excited about the arrival of our daughter in just a few shorts months. Please continue to pray for us as we prepare our home and our hearts to properly care and provide for Lana Joyce physically and spiritually.
