Here we are... 2 weeks from finding out the gender of our sweet baby and being bombarded with the same question, "What will you name him/her?"
Well for starters, I don't know if this little one is a boy or a girl... I have my suspicions, but it hasn't been confirmed.
Secondly, I don't know what to name our baby yet. I don't mind when people ask but, it makes me laugh when people ask some of the names you like, you tell them, and then they say, "That's the name I wanted to use!" And they're not pregnant. Pregnant ladies or moms, do ya feel me? It just makes me feel awkward... or like I need to apologize... It is definitely a quiet moment when that happens. So then it makes me not want to share any names. And there is nothing wrong at all with families deciding not to do that. It is just not for me. I want to tell everyone the name of our sweet baby. Then, there are the people who feel inclined to tell you what to name your child. That's equally uncomfortable. And sometimes I have to bite my lip from laughing at some of the names. :)
So here we are two weeks out from knowing if Baby McPherson is a boy or a girl and having no idea what to name him or her.
With our last pregnancy, Daniel and I were super diligent to pray for the Lord to reveal to us, in some way, what to name our twins. It's cool because the day we found out they went to Heaven 2 names we had never even considered were revealed to us. Separately. God laid Emma Kate upon my heart. Upon looking up the meaning I discovered her name means: Completely Pure. Daniel said he felt like we needed to name our son Sadler which means: Carpenter. We like to think he is up there making some sweet tools, etc. with Jesus. :)
Daniel and I both believe in the meaning of names... not the extent we are superstitious, but we don't want our child's name to mean something awful. Sadly, a name we both love for a girl means "Princess of Darkness" or "Evil One" No. Thank. You. :) And there are some boy names I have had to throw out, too.
We are back to the drawing board and praying about a name. At the end of the day, I don't think it matters all that much, but I do think its cool to pray about it regardless. :)
Mostly, I want a healthy/happy baby. And I promise to let everyone know the name as soon as we figure it out! Step One: Find out the gender :)
