She has a name!

Our little girl's name is Nadia Renee! Paul came up with Nadia, and Renee is my middle name. I think the name is pretty, and I like that it is unique yet not difficult to spell. Surprisingly it was #198 on the Social Security list for girl names in 2007. I say surprising as aside from the famous gymnast, I have never known of another Nadia so I didn't expect it to be that "high" on the list. I love the meaning of her name. Nadia means "hope" and Renee means "reborn," and this little girl definitely represents hope reborn. I had given up hope awhile ago of ever giving birth to a baby, and about this time last year my hope of ever becoming a mom through adoption was almost gone as well. I can't wait to hold Nadia in my arms! I ordered these letters for the wall in her bedroom today. The pattern will be blue butterfly, yellow butterfly, yellow flower, pink butterfly, and yellow butterfly. I think it will go well with the other butterfly things I registered for (mostly from the Gossamer Wings collection). She already has a butterfly lamp in her room! If we ever have or adopt another baby, the name selection process will be MUCH easier as we already have a boy's name picked out (Ian Alexander), and we have agreed on what the first name will be if we have another girl (keeping that a surprise). So all we'd have to do is come up with another middle name! Big sigh of relief! :-)
