I have to put all the stats on the blog. Only because it's the first place I check when I forget who weighed what in our house... sad but true.
We took forever to decide on a name for Lucy. We had several girl names we liked but they were all just runner ups in case we couldn't come up with something better. While my parents were here in June David and I were discussing names and someone said "Lucy" we all looked at each other and said "yes!"
After that we started trying to think of middle names. I wanted to keep with the one syllable girl name trend we have going now. Mostly because we use our girls' middle names all the time. We went through every single syllable girl name found on the Internet and couldn't decide on one. Then this summer David looked at me while we were in Midway and said "Why don't we just do Mack?" and it sounded so right since that was the reason we both love the name Lucy.
I read the biography of Joseph Smith by His Mother a couple summers ago and fell in love with Lucy Mack Smith. Talk about a woman to be named after. So there it is Lucy Mack. My side of the family keeps raving about how Mack will be the coolest nickname for a little girl. Doesn't matter what we call her - I'm already in love with this little girl.

I love that name. Now I want to read that book too! When I hear Lucy it reminds me of my grandmother. She loved Snoopy and Lucy was her favorite character and had Lucy stuff all over the house. I received a Lucy card from her every year on my birthday, so, I love all of your kids and their names, but, Lucy will always have a special place in my heart because I'll think of my late grandmother every time I hear you mention her name!! I'll stop leaving the world's longest comments now, I guess I get "chatty" when I'm really excited and I couldn't be happier for you guys!!!
Super cute name! I love hearing about how people come up with the names for their kids!
