\"\"<\/a>As many of our friends, family, and co-workers already know, we got a wonderful surprise during the early morning of July 27. You can read the full story of baby Coco’s arrival.<\/a> It was an amazing roller coaster ride and we’ve had tremendous support along the way. Thank you. Very much. And now, here’s what so many of you want to know… <\/p>\n

Naming Coco<\/h2>\n

\"coco<\/a>We love the nickname Coco. At one point we tried spelling it Koko just to try it out. But we’re going with the Coco version of the spelling.<\/p>\n

We looked at a bunch of girl names on various websites and drew inspiration from numerous sources. The short list was looking something like: Abigail, Amber, Bella, Caitlyn\/Caitlynn,\u00a0 Lanikai,\u00a0Kailani, Kaitlyn\/Kaitlynn, Kalani,\u00a0Kalia, Kona, Madison, Peyton, Taylor, and Shelly. Some of them were just filler names to help us decide.<\/p>\n

We even asked for feedback from our Facebook friends. After drawing inspiration from our family, vacations, and friends, we decided on Coco’s real name. Which is…<\/p>\n

Caitlyn “Coco” Kalani Hibbets<\/h3>\n

We know a lot of you have been waiting to know what we named her, but it’s been a stressful weekend. Our first priority was to make sure Coco was healthy. We also wanted to let our parents know first. Now we’re happy to share our decision with you.<\/p>\n

We hope you like our name. If you don’t, you can blame me. Merri Beth gave me the responsibility for coming up with the name\u2014with final veto of course.<\/p>\n

Now, enjoy some pictures.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
