In case you can't tell, this was originally a movie poster for Inception but Todd, being the whiz he is, made it into a little announcement to serve our purposes (if you can, read the fine print :)
Say hello to Pippy, expected to join our family in April, 2014!
Isn't he so cute?! Ok, we don't actually know that it's a boy, but, let's face it; boys do seem to be trending right now. I know a lot (like, about 20 people) who are currently pregnant, and of those who have announced a gender, the VAST majority are awaiting the arrival of little boys.
Perhaps you're wondering, "why 'Pippy'?" Well, we needed a placeholder until we can determine the gender, and Pippy was a name suggested to me by a friend here in South Africa. In ZA, seeds are called "pips," and since for the first several weeks the baby is roughly the size of some kind of seed my friend called it "Pippy," and it totally stuck! That's how Todd and I talk about "him" and I'm afraid I'll have a hard time switching to his real name when we're allowed to finally use it!
As anyone would expect, we are excited to be the recipients of such a sweet little blessing, and look forward to having our tiny world turned completely upside-down! We thank God for answered prayers and for always knowing what's best for us at every point in our lives.
Stay tuned...I have an idea I just got a whole lot of brand new material :)
Congratulations!! Thrilled to hear the big news :)
ReplyDeletePippy's good. That could totally be the child's nickname once "he" is born. ;)
ReplyDeleteas far as nicknames I was thinking of Spurg, or Vince (sorry, private family application) of course T3PO would be ok too.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Pippy needs to come just a few days late. Like, on April 6th. For no particular reason of any great importance.
