Our princess has a name!

We have known what her name was going to be for a while now but we haven't shared with anyone until this week.  When I was 20 weeks we had it narrowed down to 3 names.  After that we sort of stopped thinking about it.  So over the span of a month or so I just started thinking of her as one of the names instead of the other two.  When I pictured her room, this is the name that I would see on the wall.  When I talked to her I would call her this name.  So, it is kind of like she named herself.

So, do you want to know what it is???

Our sweet princess' name is......


Blakely Ann
   

This is the name that my husband has wanted the entire time.  I loved it but it wasn't the name that we had picked out since we first started trying to have a baby.  I just couldn't believe we weren't going with the name that we had liked forever.  So I sort of had commitment issues :) 

So where did we get the name?   

About a year ago my husband mentioned the name.  I don't remember how it came up but I had never heard it before at the time.  I have heard it a few times since then.  Her middle name is after me, my grandmother, my mom, and my mother-in-law.  Needless to say, she had a middle name long before she was even conceived.  

We have been calling her B, Blake, Blakey, Blakey boo, and B boo.  Lots of nicknames!  

We love her so much....

Happy Sunday!

  2. I love it!! I actually know a woman in her 40's with that name and she is one of the sweetest people I know. Her personality is just so kind and she lights up a room. I'm positive your princess will be the same way! :)
