I nominate, Millybillly, if it's a girl. Oh wait, is this the name game like we did with Coldchef's boy? Congratulations all around. Chocolate cigars are on me!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay babby! If we're choosing names, I like hillbillytool.

You know, it's been almost TWO hours since that tweet, and there haven't been pictures posted. COME ON.

I suggest middlebillytool. It's fun to say.

Not that feminine though, I suppose.

Awww, thanks.

I am so fucking tired.

Pix to come. I was a moron and forgot the USB cable for my camera, and I don't have an adapter for a memory stick pro duo.

There will in fact be a name poll for you all to participate in.

Funnily enough, because of a badly-written email by me, people thought we named her Bacall. Reactions to that have been polarizing -- either HOLY CRAP THAT'S AWESOME or JESUS CHRIST YOU'VE DESTROYED HER. I'm actually in the kind of awesome camp, but no way will the wife approve.

Baby and mommy are healthy and happy. Baby popped out like a human game of Whack-a-Mole.

Huge congrats!

And count me in the camp that thinks Bacall would be an awesome girl's name.

Yaaaaaaay baby!

Pics or it didn't happen.

And now that you've seen her, here are your choices: Georgia Elizabeth, or Ada Elizabeth.

Congrats!

Ada, babymaker.

posted by ethylene 16 December | 14:17

Georgia. Easier for people on the phone to get right.

posted by Melismata 16 December | 14:19

If you stick with Ada she can sign her name 8a.

posted by jessamyn 16 December | 14:32

Georgia.

posted by ThePinkSuperhero 16 December | 14:43

Another vote for the peach state. And congratulations!

posted by Atom Eyes 16 December | 14:44

Congratulations! Oh, what a cutiepie!

I am in the Ada Elizabeth camp, but only just barely --- both are lovely names.

Thanks for the update, and SMOOCH SMOOCH SMOOCH to all of you!

posted by Elsa 16 December | 14:44

Coming back from your Flickr stream: Wow, Mama looks amazingly collected and serene! Again, congratulations!

posted by Elsa 16 December | 14:47

Ada!

Georgia. Congratulations!!!

posted by initapplette 16 December | 16:32

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you: Georgia Elizabeth Reed.

posted by middleclasstool 16 December | 17:11

In retrospect, though, it occurs that it would have been a moving tribute to jessamyn if I'd named her Georgia Raquel Ada Reed.

posted by middleclasstool 16 December | 18:11

Yaaaaaay!

posted by ThePinkSuperhero 16 December | 18:14

Beautiful baby, great name! congratulations all the way around!

Beautiful!
Congratulations and best wishes to Georgia and her parents.

Also to Georgia's big brother.
Sorry about that, little guy, babies can be very distracting. Don't worry, you're still the oldest. :)
