We've picked a name!

It's been decided....

Jeff and I have been talking about what we'd name our children for years.  Of course, I've initiated every conversation and Jeff has kindly humored me!  We've always disagreed on boy names and had a few girl names we both liked.  On the day we went in for the sonogram that told us the gender of our baby...we had a little dry-erase board on the refrigerator where we had a list of potential boy names (none of which we mutually agreed on) and a list of girl names.  Although, saying we had a list of girl names is not entirely accurate because we had one - Hannah.  I knew if we were having a boy we'd have some trouble agreeing, but if the doc said it was a girl I felt we both knew in our hearts she would be named Hannah. It's funny what happens when you start talking about names for your unborn child.  Your significant other will say one name which makes you cringe as you flash back to someone with that name and very unpleasant thoughts come to mind.  And vice-versa.   However, when we say "Hannah" nothing bad happens.  No bad thoughts, no bad memories.  Only good thoughts/feelings.  In fact, we have a very close friend named Hannah who for the 10+ years I've known her and the 7+ years Jeff's known her has been nothing short of a great friend. 

Needless to say, Hannah is such a sweet name and we both just felt it was perfect.
