The Baby is Here:
Born: January 21, 2012 at 3:20 a.m.
3878 grams, 51.5 centimeters (oh hey there, metric system!)
In U.S. terms, 8 1/2 lbs. and 20 1/4 inches
AND NAMED:
Quincy Parker Makoto Ellis
Quincy: French, meaning the Fifth, as he is the fifth member of our little family.
Also, Fox was reading Dracula while I was pregnant. Quincey Morris is a character in it-- the only American in a foreign country.
Parker: Fox's paternal grandmother's maiden name
Makoto: Japanese, meaning strong and peace-loving.
We have loved Quincy Parker as a name for a long time, but it just didn't seem right for
this boy at first. Finally, as we were filling out the hospital paperwork, we knew it was because
he needed a special Japanese name in there, so Fox chose his favorite and used a very old kanji for it.
Everyone is having a ton of fun getting their kisses and cuddles on with this cutie.
Who does he look like? He blended in really well in the nursery
with all that black hair!
Yes, that is Cash forcing Quincy's fingers into a peace sign. Oy.
We are all doing great! I had a great birth experience, and the hospital was amazing!
Birth story to follow...

Still cannot see the pics but I do love the name (Quincy is growing on me) and you found the literature connection too (: I did not think a japanese name would go with Quincy but Makoto sounds really good with it!!! So will his nickname be "Kewpie" (doll) get it "Q""P". Baby Kewpie!
we can't see the photos either...maybe post on FB? Awesome name, I hope you are doing good!
Congratulations!!! Can't see the pics either but I love the name and am so happy you had a good experience!!
