JES

Baby girl,

You finally have a name.

After we found out you were going to be a girl, we started wracking our brains trying to come up with the perfect name for you. I bought a book of 60,000+ names for us to peruse (that's a lot of names!!). We had lots of top contenders that we kept coming back to, but decided against for a number of reasons (too popular, doesn't go with our last name, etc.). We finally decided that the best name for you is Julia Elizabeth. Julia is so classic and pretty and we just love it. Elizabeth is your grandma's middle name- isn't that special??

We've really gotten in to the habit of calling you "baby" or "baby girl," but hopefully by the time you get here we'll start calling you by your name (even though I will probably still like calling you Baby Girl).

We are so excited about meeting you, sweet Julia!

Love,
Mom
