What’s in a name?

So you may notice that I never mentioned little man’s name during the telling of his birth story. That’s because we really didn’t know yet what it was. We had it narrowed down but had not quite decided. But then about 20 hours after he was born Nick informed me that his name was one that we had already eliminated. He said “Jen, his name is Declan. I don’t know why, I can’t explain it, but the only thing that I can only call him is Declan.” I was half asleep and said “ok”.

So his name is Declan Patrick Lloyd. Declan because we like it. Patrick in honor of my mother, sorry Mom, I’d wait for a girl but I’m afraid it might not happen!
