Introducing...

Zoe Abigail Anne

*usually I don't use our "real" names when I blog

so this will be the first and only time

(unless I slip) that I'll mention her name...

after this post she will be referred to as Z*

Zoe was born at home. For her birth story and birth pictures please visit Creating More Clarity.

I think names are special. They usually mean something to someone.

Zoe

I stole Zoe from a friend who had wanted to have a daughter named Zoe but for many reasons doesn't. I asked if I could have it and she said I could-so I stole it.

Zoe means life. It's special to me because she wouldn't be here if we hadn't miscarried the baby before her. I therefor think her life is extra special and that she is destined to greatness. Her name is a reminder of the blessing of her life and of that life that we lost. Zoe is a strong solid name.

Abigail

Abigail was picked by J. Abigail means her father's joy or fountain of joy. Every girl should be their father's joy! The name has Hebrew roots which fits into our family well because of all the Hebrew and Greek names we have.(We like to keep it Biblical around here)

Anne

Anne is my middle name. When I found out we were going to be blessed with another daughter I knew I needed to give her my middle name somehow. M has my first name as her middle name. L has my maiden name as her middle name. So to complete what I started it just makes since for Zoe to have Anne in her name. Anne means grace. And don't we all need a little grace in our life?

So there it is. Our little life, our little joy, our little grace, our blessing. I look forward to getting to know this little girl and seeing her grow into a strong little girl and eventually into a strong women.
