Names and kicks and dresses....

We've finally picked a for sure name for the squirmy little one. We thought we had narrowed it down to Sydney, but it never felt 100% right. I love that name, but we just couldn't bring ourselves to refer to her as Sydney without it feeling just a little "off." So on Sunday, we were talking about names and names and names and names and names and names....and when we said Mia...wow, that was it! Then we looked up some stuff on it...and there is a Swedish meaning of the name of "wished for child" and that confirmed it was right! So her name will be Mia Grace Hasselblad (unless of course when she is born she doesn't look like a Mia!). Anyway, I LOVE the sound of it! :)

Also, Malo finally was able to feel baby Mia (love the way that sounds!) kick last night! Or elbow, or her butt, or something....but the point is, he finally felt it! She really is a REALLY wiggly squirmer! Which is great for paranoid me to be able to feel her moving around lots and lots. Anyway, just thought I'd share! :)



p.s. I've also received lots of requests for a larger picture of Aspen's BEAUTIFUL dress that my dear friend, Allysia made for her sealing and blessing. So here are a couple. She is throwing a fit in the first picture because I took a toothbrush from her, no real tears...but its a nice picture of the dress! ;) Silly girl!

That's wonderful. I love it when you can share that wiggling.

I really like that name! Damen was so wiggly they could never find his hearbeat because he was always squirming away, which directly related to a squirmy, wrigling, running little boy! Good luck:)

Oooh, I love it! That is so cute and sweet! LOVE the meaning, too. How perfect.

That crying pic cracks me up! So typical when you're trying to get just the right shot! :o)

So what is up with babies and toothbrushes... because that is always the favorite thing for Caden.
I love the name you've chosen... it's so neat that the meaning is so perfect, too.
