'I didn’t really think through how much it would mean to him to come home and announce the name was his choice.'
Years ago, I saw a social media post touting the “secret” to making sure your kids felt connected to new baby siblings from the beginning. It’s not “the” baby, the post said — it’s “our” baby. I could even say that it’s “their baby.”
Baby day approached and we still all hadn’t agreed on a name. I gave birth, still not knowing the baby’s name. In a postpartum half-awake stupor, my husband rattled off the list of two or three we’d narrowed it down to. But one name, on the bottom of the list, wasn’t one I’d heard much about —. My husband told me our oldest son had added it. Stressed at the idea of picking yet another name someone would carry for life, I shrugged and told my husband to pick, and went back to sleep.
