OK, we have a name. Actually, lots of names. Officially, our girl is Phoebe Keahi Ka-Young Kim. Unofficially, she has several more names. Her full Hawaiian name is Keahi Lanakila o Keola Mau Loa, which means the fire that will live on forever. And she also has a Bhutanese name, Dechhen, which according to the Bhutanese elder in our midst, means supreme bliss. As with Emma, these names have been given to us by respected elders, including Kale's mother, aunt, my parents, and of course, our friends in Bhutan. We picked Phoebe, although Emma voted against it. But when we mentioned it to the baby when she was still in Kale's belly, she kicked rather vigorously, so we figured that was the deciding vote. At home, we will probably just continue to call her Lentil.
There are more pictures on the flickr website.

International friends, if you have trouble getting to flickr, e-mail me and I'll send them to you individually if you'd like to see them. Again, thanks for your good wishes, which have poured in from all across the globe. It feels wonderful to know that our new baby has admirers in so many places.
