And the winner is.......

First of all I wanted to thank all of you for your fabulous ideas and for taking the time to post!!! It was so fun and encouraging to see how many of you actually know I exist and took the time to help us come up with a name for this little one. Your ideas were very creative and helped me come up with a good list to talk over with my husband. I'm really excited! We don't usually make the name public until after the baby is born, but we'll have to see this time around!

Now for the moment you've all been waiting for.........






I numbered all of your names and put them into a wicker basket we had. I chose Bethany as the official number picker (because she was the only one who had finished her breakfast!). After much digging around with eyes closed ( she doesn't know her numbers yet so I don't know that it mattered!) she drew...............







RACHEL!!!!!!!


Now, I realize the fact that out of all the names in the basket, Bethany Rachel picking the person she was named after seems a little suspicious, but please trust me when I say it was all fair and above board!

I just wanted to thank you all again. This has been so fun for me and has made me even more ( if that's possible) excited to meet this little one! I loved hearing from each of you and hope that you will come visit again ( and maybe leave a comment so I know you're visiting!). Have a great day!
