We welcomed Grace Bean Stahl into the world at 7:10AM. She weighed 7lbs 5 oz, 20 in long. Mom and baby are doing well. Laura is really good a giving birth, it must be from all the practice. Now to answer the name question, we chose Bean for a middle name not because we are huge fans of produce, but because it is a family name on my side. My Grandma Joyce Stahl's Maiden name was Bean. My grandma came from a family of 4 girls, so no-one carried on the Bean name. This was our way of honoring my grandma and to carry on a family name. Gracie Bean has a nice ring to it, besides who wouldn't want to remember that my Great Grandpa was Mr. Bean?

Congrats! (and thanks for clarifying the middle name question- I was wondering if you were a huge Mr. Bean fan!)

Actually I am a huge Mr. Bean fan, but alas, that is not the origin of the name. I didn't want people wondering...

I only like Mr. Bean's taste in cars (Mini Cooper) - but I love the name for obvious reasons. She is beautiful - easy for me to say since her dad and I pretty much share the same DNA! By the way I am a good babysitter.
