L is for Lucy. The name of our daughter. Due in on November 25th.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
She is currently nestled in my tummy, listening to Stars through the headphones resting on my belly. And I am so in love with her already.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As a child, a family friend gave me the nickname “Lucy” from the Peanuts, because I was rather grouchy and loud \ud83d\ude42\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I have always loved the name, though. The day before Nathan and I found out the gender of this little one, I was walking around the University of Arkansas campus, hoping to come up with the perfect name if our child was a girl. The entire walkway of the UARK campus has the names of every graduate etched in the cement. I looked down, and there was the name “Lucy” jumping out at me. I immediately called Nathan and ran the name past him. He LOVED it!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Violet and Lucy. My girls. Amazingly, months after we had chosen the name, we had a bit of an ancestral discovery: my great great aunts (who were sisters) were named Violet and Lucy! I had no idea of this family link. Kinda cool and freaky all at once, eh? Destiny, I suppose \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This past weekend, My mother and I were antiquing, when I put my hand down on a table for support, and noticed that my hand was resting on this red aluminum “L”.\u00a0 It was $4, and the perfect addition to the girls’ room.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Lucy Emmeline. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
That’s my girl!<\/div>\n
