What a house full of bless...Congratulations Jamie! What a house full of blessings you have. I'm so happy for you and your family! <br /><br />All of your names are beautiful. We have a Margaret...and she really does not like her given name. She prefers Maggie, or Mags, or Bruiser, or Schmeggie. Anything other than Margaret it seems. <br /><br />Oh - by the way, dear Miss Maggie had a SLOW heart rate. I was sure she was a boy. Not so much!Nichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06555272743931436226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-92001564789187605302011-08-12T22:35:23.155-05:002011-08-12T22:35:23.155-05:00I think you are brave to share your ideas with us!...I think you are brave to share your ideas with us! We have never told anyone the baby names we are considering, because we have always worried about unwanted opinions ~ ha! But like you, we trust that the name truly comes from God. He reveals it to us at some point, and it is just so clear. There is a little story behind how we came up with each name. And that is SO special!<br /><br />Oh! And on your list is the name of one of my daughters! =)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01530114345117741249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-72432488753327459172011-08-12T14:01:32.220-05:002011-08-12T14:01:32.220-05:00How fun Jamie to be discerning your babies name!! ...How fun Jamie to be discerning your babies name!!

My husband also holds off on names and we usually don't narrow things down until later in pregnancy. Of course, I like to keep the options open in case I'm divinely inspired later on and don't like to shut out any other possibilities.<br /><br />I love your names! Let's see, totally a fan of Natalie since that is the name of our miscarried baby. Sebastian (along with Thomas, Isaac and Josiah) was actually on our list with Gianna and was a last minute entry due to our lengthy last name. But then, we all kind of fell in love with it. My mom suggested Sebastian when we had Lily and she did to other family members too...but no one ever used it. <br /><br />Even after just recently having a little one, I still find myself changing my mind on some of the names for this new little one...we'll see.<br /><br />I can't wait to see what name you choose! Excellent choices!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16604810218733272554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-36610968582167753042011-08-10T16:33:03.776-05:002011-08-10T16:33:03.776-05:00hi!i love your name picks! they were some of top ...hi!i love your name picks! they were some of top picks too. love the name sebastian!!! :)<br />as for heart rates....my first ALWAYS had a high heart rate and up to the last contraction, all the nurses said GIRL.
