Do you think this preciously perfect little spine looks like it belongs to an Ashley, Meaghan or Laura?
Or perhaps this angelic little face with her balled up little fists would prefer something taken directly from scripture. Perhaps Lydia, Esther or Rebecca?
Maybe this precious little foot would prefer something a little more exotic, and a little more in keeping with the naming of her excited siblings?
At the doctor’s office today, all three jumped up and down for pure joy upon finding out we were expecting a girl (number three of four for us). My oldest daughter wants a little sister. My three year old son must like his sisters because he has reminded me continually that he wants this to be another sister. And the baby will jump for joy at any provocation. She still looks at me with very concerned eyes when I tell her there is a baby in my tummy. She has investigated, and must surely think I’m a little off my rocker.
So far, our children have unique but not unheard of names. One is a Native American word. One is a common Dutch name. One is a sweet little Swedish name. Together with their middle names, they mean: “friend from above”, “crowned warrior” and “beginning of the narrow path.”
Any suggestions for number four? We can’t seem to find any good first name/middle name combinations. With or without a name, she is looking at an April 19th arrival.

How wonderful.. all I can say is Mazal Tov ! May she be healthy, happy and forever blessed.
Congratulations. I am so glad that everyone is getting just what they want!
I won’t give you baby name advise. I will tell you that when I was trying to get pregnant and searching names, I decided that I wanted three girls ~ Hodos, Aletheia and Zoe (the way, the truth and the life from John 14:6). I have decided I am probably not normal. :o)
Great pix. Congrats. I’m partial to the name Esther myself.
My girls have rather old fashioned names:Emilia, called Emma for short or Millie sometimes if I’m feeling old fashioned; Valeria, and Clara. I’m partial to feminine but slightly unusual names!
A friend considered the name Acacia for a biblical name - it’s the wood used to make the ark of the covenant. I can’t believe you’re not considering Dorcas! LOL
She’s so beautiful! …I want to just kiss that little foot!
Life just keeps getting better, doesn’t it, Dana? I’m so happy for you all.
There is a little girl in our daughter’s dance class named Magdelene and I think it is just soooo sweet. Esther is pretty too.
Congrats!
Congratulations! I really like the name Ashlynn, always have.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful news with the Carnival of Family Life.

Such beautiful pics! Blessings to the little princess.
Hi Dana,
I just popped in from my blog, Heart of Harmony, to say hi and thank you for your nice comment.
Your “baby photos” are so cute.
I have one daughter and three sons so you are getting my girls!
Thanks for visiting my blog, hope to see you around some more.
I bookmarked your blog.

Thank you so much, everyone!
Great names…maybe something will trigger something for us, who knows. It seems a little more real now with ultrasound pictures and knowing she is a she!
Thanks for visiting my blog, Barb! I enjoyed yours and look forward to visiting again.
And good to “see” you again, Spunky! Feel free to drop in any time you want!
Congratulations! I love the foot picture:O)Here from the CFL.
Congratulations. The sonogram pictures are great. Baby names are amazingly hard to come up with. I am partial to Laura (my cat’s name)!!!

I love the foot photo! Thanks for sharing the pics.
Dutch name, huh? My parents were Dutch (actually from The Netherlands!), but they gave me (and many of my sisters) Spanish sounding names — go figure.
I have no suggestions as I gave my children Celtic names to honor my husband’s Irish and Scottish backgrounds. I didn’t want to inflict Dutch or Indonesian names on them!

How exciting!!! Technology is amazing, isn’t it??
How very interesting. Our youngest, 5, was born before blogging really got started. Fascinating to see someone use the social interactivity of blogging to search for a name of a new baby.
Sort of like the old group of friends you would consult over a cup of coffee on sterioids.

Oh, Congratulations on your news that you’re expecting a little girl! What great pics! I also like Esther… it’s on my own list as a matter of fact, along with a few others. My hubby likes Savannah for a girl. Isn’t naming another person one of the most awesomely wonderful experiences? The beginnings of the profundity of parenting these precious lives.
blessings~
