Out of time so taken out of our hands!

We did not name any of our three children til after we looked at them and held them. For the first two boys, we kinda had a "short list" but since we didn't find out the sex til delivery..it was extra special making sure the names "fit" the faces. Our third child, I was sure was son number three and was prepared with a boy's name. HA! Along came daddy's girl and much indecision. Finally when push came to shove and five days later when the hospital was ready for us to go home and there was still no name on the birth certificate, two shifts of nurses at the nurses station took a poll. They asked everyone that passed by that might have an opinion. I still have our sweet Emma Elizabeth's "tally sheet" in her baby box. Ironically, it worked out perfectly and fell in line with the family names we gave the two boys.
