Well, we have Amos Lee to thank! Back when sweetpea was barely a proverbial twinkle in our eyes, kuttan used to sing me this song (and strum on his guitar) that we both loved: 'Sweetpea, apple of my eye'. If you haven't heard it, you have to!:
And then when we found out that there was a pea growing in the pod, we starting calling it 'sweetpea'.
Jo gave me this adorable little pendant made by local artistes, and the name stuck!:
Of course, now that we know that our little one is made of frogs and snails and puppy dog tails, we do wonder if he will be offended by the name 'sweetpea' but luckily, he has no say in the matter right now, and 'sweetpea' he will remain to us!

Thanks Gautam! We figured this was the best way for family and friends to be involved in this exciting process, when we are so far away from them. Ammini (Paro) is already complaining about the fact that she might not see her nephew until he is a few months old, sigh. A very happy Diwali to you too, and thanks for stopping by!
