What's in a name...

Mommy and Daddy have decided on my name - Parker Lukas Heritage.

The story of Parker: When my brother Palmer was born and Mommy and Daddy were in the hospital, one of the nurses wrote down my brother's name as Parker on the dry erase board in Mommy's room. Mommy quickly corrected her and she apologized and told them that there was another baby down the hall who's name was Parker and she got the two names confused. Later the nurse returned and told Mommy and Daddy that she told the other family about the mistake she had made with the Palmer/Parker name. That family liked the name Palmer so much, that they decided to change their baby's name from Parker to Palmer. Well, Mommy and Daddy always rememebered that story and they were honored that someone else chose their same name. They liked the name Parker as well and never quite got it out of their head, so they decided to name me Parker.

The story of Lukas: Now, Lukas is constructed from a family name...sort of. I'm named after my two grandmothers - (Lu) for Lucille and (Ka) for Katy. They added the (s) to make it a masculine name. I'm honored to have a family name, just like by big brother Palmer (who is name after our two grandfathers.

That's how my name came to be...

A date has been set...

I am scheduled to arrive on March 9th at 1:30pm. I can't wait to meet everyone soon.
