We had been so sure this was a boy (without having had an ultrasound, just going by size and heart rate) that we hadn't settled on a girl name until Monday. Maybe that's why she was waiting to come--we didn't have her name yet! As I waited for labor to progress, I surfed name sites and came up with a list of six or seven and emailed it to Darrell at work. He liked Lanie the best, and we wanted to use Ruth (after Grandma Kilcup) for a middle name. We didn't know the meaning, we just both liked the sound of it. We found out today that Lanie means "torch" or "bright light". Our prayer is that Lanie will be a bright light for God in this world and will touch many with her friendship (Ruth means "friend"). We thank God for this precious blessing, and for giving us the right name for her.
Darrell and I have been having a relaxing day, and haven't taken any new pictures today, but here are a few more from last night. Taylor was the photographer, and that's why she wasn't in the earlier pictures. And of course, the proud Grandmas!
Tonight the gang will all be back! My mom has been such a blessing in keeping them since Saturday. Thanks Mom!!!!!!
Love to all,
Cari
