It's Robert & Kelly to you. It's Mom and Dad to Madeline. Or will be, once she figures out this whole talking thing.

But Iggy Has a Great Personality!
All of our friends and relatives have had really cute kids. Thus, Robert and I figure that somebody is due to have the baby that is not-all-that-cute and/or really-kind-of-ugly. According to the composite photo created by the Knocked Up Babymaker* website, we may very well be those people.
*Note that Robert and I have skin even paler than the palest skin tone the site offers. We're practically translucent!
Mary, I was thinking the same thing about the baby's full set of teeth.
I think the site has the round face right. I had a dream last night that your baby was chubby, happy, and adorable! I'm not telling you what sex it was.
Although we declined to find out whether we were having a boy or a girl, we still wanted to call the baby something while Kelly was pregnant. So, uh, why Iggy? After our first sonogram, we watched The Year Without a Santa Claus. You know, the Rankin/Bass special with the Heat Miser and the Snow Miser, where Santa threatens to cancel Christmas unless his elves can find someone that still believes in the true nature of the holiday. That someone is a kid named Ignatius Thistlewhite. Iggy for short. It's got a good ring to it, but not quite as good as Madeline.
And As For Rocksohard?
While engaged, Robert floated the idea that instead of Kelly taking his name, they could come up with an entirely new one. Something catchy. All their own. And extra awesome. The Rocksohards. As in, "Hey, let's see what the Rocksohards are up to." Moral of the story: Be careful what you tell your friends. Because some of them call us that now. Theoretically, without irony. Or so we tell ourselves.

That baby looks like it's had one too many PBRs...

Your baby also has a LOT of teeth. I hope you're not planning on breastfeeding!
