With both Liberty and Leila we had their names picked out before the ultrasound. they were sent in stone. we didn't have to discuss it or spend lots of time trying to figure out which name we liked best or anything like that. yesterday when we went in for our ultrasound with this new baby we had two girl names we were debating on. then we found out we are indeed expecting another girl, so we needed to pick which name to use. most of you know we have been looking at zona caroline and ainsley augusta. after spending hours last night trying to pick the perfect name for our third girl, we just didn't think zona or ainsley were a good pick (we still like those names, just not for this baby). we were up until after midnight deciding on just the right name. we researched online and found name meanings and all that fun stuff. we came up with two names we loved, watched the ultrasound again, asked liberty's opinion, and finally came up with our baby girl's name. it was weird to spend so much time trying to figure out a name since we hadn't had to deal with that before. i'm sure you're all wondering now what her name will be...no worries, it's not a secret! we chose Nadia Zenevieva. Nadia means "hope," and Zenevieva means "woman for the people." we love it! Zenevieva may throw you off...it's the slavic & german form of Genevieve (a name that i love). jonathan has a slavic background and wanted to incorporate that into our daughter's name. Nadia also has a slavic/russian background.
alright...now that you've read my long version of choosing Nadia's name, here are some of the ultrasound pictures from yesterday. throughout the ultrasound Nadia kept putting her arms in front of her face as if she was shy...so precious! her heartbeat was in the 140's.

Oh so precious!
It can be difficult to choose a name, there are so many good ones out there and you want to pick the right one. That is awesome that your girl's liked it too, I'm sure you remember my blog about Lilla insisting on Anna. God certainly uses all types of different measures to help us choose just that right name. Beautiful!
beautiful.. i love nadia, and she'll just be perfect in your new little family of 5.
names are hard. we are having a hard time as well, especially since we don't know what we are having.... i think we've settled on a girls name, but a boys name... yikes! we still don't have any solid ideas....
congrats!
such a beautiful name...and i love looking at the meaning and origins of names. so excited for you rebecca.
Yay! Congrats on picking out a name. Josh and I had been going back and forth on names since before we actually got preg. We'll see if we keep our compromise after we find out the gender.
