The Name... Vivienne Rose

Showin' off my zebra stripes!

Photos taken by my bridgecare mom D.


At Vivienne's 2-week check up this week, I overheard a nurse down the hall say "I really like the name Vivienne." So do we!

This spring, when we were meeting weekly with Vivienne's birthmother T., we spent a lot of time talking and making plans for this little one's arrival. One of the things we often talked about were names we liked - boy names and girl names - remember we did not know the gender of this little angel until the day she was born. One night, Dave and I poured over an online list of Top 200 Baby Names and jotted down our Top 5 boy and girl names, keeping in mind the types of names T. liked also. We brought our list to T. the next time we got together and right away she loved the name Vivienne! And so did we!

If you are wondering about Vivienne's middle name Rose...  well... after the three of us decided on the first name Vivienne, then Dave and I asked T. what she thought of Baby Girl sharing her middle name. She loved the idea and seemed touched by the gesture. So Vivienne's middle name and T.'s middle name are both Rose.  

A beautiful gesture by Vivienne's birthmother is that, at her birth, T. gave her OUR last name. So truly amazing and a precious gift!  Thank you T.!!!

    So, if I scroll your blog page just right, I can see the four of you (your beautiful smiling dog = 4)and I am blessed to see the beautiful perfect family God has put together. Vivienne looks to have a laid back, can-handle-anything personality like her mama reflecting in her eyes!
