Poo-Ping

I hurried up and ran outside my room as I heard May's voice. I knew she was getting ready to leave. I'm not very good at getting up early, so I had to hurry up and get ready and run outside and catch her before she took off. This was the last time I would see her with a baby in her belly. The next time I would see her that baby would be in my arms. So I took one last picture with pregnant May, told her I loved her and watched the future parents of a baby girl drive off to the hospital.

May had her C-section planned the next day (December 4th). She was nervous, but she told me she couldn't wait until that baby was out of her.

Noah came home on December 4th and told us that he had a healthy baby girl and they named her Tanpraporn. What a beautiful name! Her nickname is pretty funny though. Her nickname is Poo-Ping. That's right. In Thai it means the ground where the queen would plant her flowers. In English, well let's just say we for sure wouldn't name our kids that :) Me and Terra jumped in the truck and went to welcome our new Agape baby into the world. She was gorgeous. I didn't want to put her down.
She was so tiny and looked just like a little Poopah :)
So, we have welcomed our new little Poo-Ping into the world. May and Noah said that if she goes to America, she's just going to have to tell people her name is Ping :)

Poo-Ping!!! Hahahaha! That's great! If she comes to America in her late teens, she should tell people her name is Poo-Ping; any earlier or any later, and she'll want to stick with Ping. Why not just call her Tanpraporn (sorry for any misspelling)? Do the Thai people not like using their real names? If I ever come to Thailand, I'll have everyone call me Poo Poo, because it's funny in both languages! I'm not a grandpa!! *LoL* :) Love you!
