38 weeks and goin' strong!

Here are some pics at 38 weeks! Due date is still on target for Feb. 10, and we finally decided on a name: Anna Grace McCurdy. A few factors we took into consideration when choosing the name (in no particular order of importance):

1) Easy to say
2) Easy to spell
3) Initials didn't spell something crazy
4) Luke 2:36-38 Anna was a prophetess in the Bible who worshiped God day and night. We pray this will be a defining characteristic in her life.
5) My mom's name is Anita, so this name was a way to honor her
6) Middle name "Grace" because it is by the Lord's grace that we will have her in our lives.... grace, by definition, is the receiving of a gift that we do not deserve.

We look forward to meeting her and welcoming her to our family!

Oh, and hey! I guess no one really knows if she'll be born in the year of the tiger or the rabbit yet!! Suspense . . .

If you need some way to pass the time, we're hosting our 5th annual contest--lots of rabbit love--what better way to commemorate Anna's birth?!

I know you are ready! You are looking great. Thanks for not naming her Anita. Your great aunt's name is Anna, so we'll name the baby after her.
