Are you a winner??!

We have had a request for a picture of the charm bracelet and who are we to deny anyone?!

We have also had many inquiries about the initials engraved on the charm.

When we began talking about names we decided that we were going to keep the name to ourselves until after the baby is born. There are a few reasons for this.

First, while we are pretty sure that the name we have chosen will be the name of the baby we want to wait until we actually meet her to be extra special sure the name suits her. (Incidentally, when Rob gave me the bracelet I questioned how we could change the name if we needed to. He said we could just get another charm made with different initials! He's a smart one, that Rob.)

Second, knowing the sex of the baby takes a tiny bit of the excitement out of announcing the birth. So, keeping the name a secret gives a bit of suspense to the whole thing. This applies mostly to us, we get a kick out of having a secret. Secrets are fun.

All of the guesses that have come our way recently sparked an idea. We are going to hold a contest on this here blog!

This is how it works:

1 - You can enter by leaving a comment on this post (or any other post) with your idea of what the first and middle name may be. Don't forget to tell us who you are!
(Leaving a comment is simple. Just click on the link "XX comments" (the XX represents how many comments have been left by the time you are reading) at the end of this post. Write your comment in the comment box. Choose an identity, copy the letters of the word verification into the box, and click Login and Publish. Easy Peasy.)

2 - You can enter as many times as you like until the birth of the baby. This could be anytime between now and the first week of March! YOU MUST LEAVE A COMMENT TO ENTER. Telling us in person or on the phone does NOT enter you into the contest.

3 - We will NOT tell you or anyone else if you have the right answer. So please do not ask, as you can see in #5 below one of us has a weak constitution.

4 - After the Lil' Stomper is born we will announce the winner (or winners). There will be a prize for the person that gets the FULL name right (first and middle) and a prize for the Most Creative Entry.

5 - It has come to my attention that one of us has a big mouth and might have accidentally released the name of said baby upon being coerced by promises of Personalized Fabulous Gifts. If you are somehow in the know and accidentally have knowledge of the real name you can enter but you should not ruin it for everyone else. Go for the Most Creative Entry Prize instead.

6 - The prizes are as follows:

The "I got it right, I am a genius" Prize will be a $25 gift certificate to a restaurant of your choosing.

The "I am the funniest person ever and I came up with a ridiculously creative name" Prize will be a picture of the baby signed by the baby herself.

Ready for your hint? Here are the initials...
