LMo,

A huge congrats from me......what an exciting moment to find out what you are going to have.....at least you know it's a girl, not a boy, or best of all, not "Something" else.....that could be scary.....lol.

There was a post not long ago "what's in a name?" My daughter was born 30 years ago this coming March before ultrasound & finding out what you were going to have. By the size, I should have had a boy but turned out being a girl. I was in college at the time, holding down a full load in Accounting & computer science. I had to figure out a name for whatever I was going to have so......to the library I went. Stacks of books for names...stacks that were taller than myself (only 5'2"). I went through every name in every book but wanted a meaningful name that went with my last name. It took me forever & I ended up with a list of 6 names on both lists.

The one that stuck however was the one that meant "brighter than a shining star" (both 1st & middle put together).

Funny thing was that my brother-in-law just 2 years ago had their daughter & found a name with a very similar meaning for their new daughter. I never realized how much the meaning of a name would mean to my daughter, but that along with a beautiful name does seem to help with ones self esteme at times.....don't know if that would be true in all cases since self esteme is a very serious part of ones life, but sometimes it's nice to start out on the right foot anyway.

Enjoy finding the perfect name & the anticipation of having your new baby girl to enjoy & love.

blessings be with you, your husband, & your new soon coming daughter,
Debbie
