Dear Baby

I think it is time to start some letters to you. You are starting to make your presence known visually to those who have known me as a skinny lady. And as of this morning, your name has been decided upon by your father and I.

So...should you be a boy, you will be Phelan Shel. Phelan means wolf, which is your father's Patronus, for lack of a better word. And Shel combines the first initials of your 4 grandfathers' first names.

If you come out as a girl, you will be Catori Alaysia Sue. Catori means spirit. Alaysia is just a name I have loved for many, many years. And Sue is for my grandmother and your grandmother on Daddy's side.

I know they are unusual names, but I hope you grow to love them as did I mine.

We love you, Cricket, whatever parts you come out having.

Now I am going to take a nap...you are already wearing me out.

Love,

Mama

  3. Those are fantastic names and yeah we name kiddos based on the meaning too. Brilliant minds think alike and all that jazz especially when it comes to napping. Mmmmm zzzzzz.

  6. What a sweet post! Beautiful names, too.

    We have to choose "K" names as they are a tradition with girls in our family. Well...unless this one's a boy - then we can do whatever we want!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog! ICLW
