How It Started vs. How It’s Going (less than 8 hours apart!) Meet Kelechi Bea! Baby Kelechi arrived a little earlier than planned, at a long, lean 7lbs 2 oz, 20 inches. Her name Kelechi means "Thank God" in the Igbo language, and considering the past year we're very grateful for the lifetime blessing of this little one. It's also a family name from mom’s side. Kelechi's middle name Bea is a diminutive form of the name Beatrice, a family name on both sides of her dad's family. We can’t wait for our village to meet her.
