About the name: I knew early on in the pregnancy that I liked the name Adam, and I mostly referred to him by that name in my head. Jared was convinced of the name Adam when we watched General Conference and Elder Holland spoke about Adam and Eve. We deliberated a little more on the middle name. The children had been suggesting names throughout the pregnancy (most of them a little ridiculous and silly). One day Lily suggested Jacob, and Jared and I both remembered how much we like that name. So we went with Jacob, because we think it is neat that the older sibling were able to make a contribution to his name. Both names are biblical, obviously. Adam means "man", and Jacob means "supplanter" or "holder of the heel". Jacob can also mean "may God protect" (we like that meaning better:).
