Our Little Girl!
After long, sleepless hours of thought, and an extensive name search, we are proud to introduce the newest addition to our family....
Mia Jean Chin
Born: April 16, 2008 @ 12:21pm ET
Weighing: 7lbs, 13 oz
Height: 19 1/2 inches
Everything went exactly to plan, no surprises and no issues. Irene did great and is doing well recovering. Brady, in case anyone thought we've forgotten him, is safe at home with Irene's parents. He came to visit yesterday and met Mia for the first time. A good meeting overall, especially when we gave him the presents that Mia got for him (books and a puzzle).
If you are wondering what other names were being considered, the runner-up names included:
- Gisele -- how could you not consider creating another Brady/Gisele combination? It fell short though because you can't guarantee who Tom Terrific is going to end up with (see Bridget Moynihan as Exhibit A).
- Randy -- An obvious celebration of the greatest single season Quarterback/Receiver touchdown combination in NFL history. Unfortunately, this combination needs more than one year and at least two superbowl championships to get such an honor. Plus, Randy Moss is still relatively suspect mentally.
- Peyton -- Wouldn't it be cool to have the biggest quarterback rivalry of our generation represented in our household, especially when Peyton is a girl? Regardless of the coolness of the not-so-subtle jab on Mr. Manning, I still can't stomache my girl having the same name as him.
- Katherine -- A classic name fitting of almost every situation, except when everywhere you go you'll hear "it's Katie and Brady!" Although this is in line with the Chin single generation naming tradition (also known as the Harry, Gary, and Larry Tradition), we decided that this tradition is only fitting if the siblings are boys. :)
- Charlotte -- (nice suggestion Jamie) Another great name, but I personally could not endorse another city that is home of another NFL team (Carolina Panthers). If I have to name her after a city, I would rather choose Worcester or Waukesha. Also, her nickname would likely end up being Charlie - see prior blog entry for why this is bad.
Well, I'm off to go play with my little girl now. Thank you for all your name suggestions and please come back for more pictures in the coming days!

the cousins were ready to put money on Gisele or Bridget...actually a very funny conversation on the pros and cons of those two names! In case you are wondering, they'll be much happier saying Mia and are looking forward to meeting her!
It is wierd seeing my picture on the blog while the doctor is still operating on me. Morphine Rocks.
Mia is so adorable! Congrats!!
I can't imagine what's happening at the "other end" of the curtain while that photo of the three of you was taken..... *chills* But yes, morphine does rock :D
