So, um, we picked a name.
More accurately, I got around to sorting the names by preference, my top choice matched Liz's, and so... the Particle has a name now.
Here's the thing. I don't want to tell anyone what it is yet.
I don't know why. I don't know when we'll tell people. I'm of half a mind to wait until the birth, and then make it part of the birth announcements. Now introducing Apollonia Gertrude Brooks. Whoops. There goes the surprise. Ha.
I like having secrets. I don't think I'm alone in that respect. And there's just something about there being some surprise that we can still spring on people, after all the ultrasounds and constant updates and medical examinations, where it seems like all the details are out in the open.
Or maybe I've just gone insane early, and beat the rush.

Of course it's "Enid Candi."

I like Enid. but, we never really knew each other anyway.
