Rob and I stayed up until almost 2:30 in the morning - I think running partly on adrenaline - trying to decide on a name for our little girl. The few we had thought of a long time ago did not seem to fit. So off we went, through long lists of baby names online, staring at her picture and seeing what name she "looked" like. It should not be a common name, but also not too obscure or hard to pronounce. It should go well with our last name too. We also wanted to incorporate her Russian name if possible.
In a way, it may be a blessing that we had such a short time to decide, because we didn't ask for anyone's opinions and we chose something we think fits perfectly! And now even those of you who don't like it will have to pretend to like it because we have signed the papers - it is official and cannot be changed :)
So without further ado...welcome little Meredith Nadia Hamersma to our family. Nadia is her Russian name (actually Nadezhda, pronounced Nadi-ezh-da) and we decided to keep it in its short form. Meredith is a name we really like, and we think it suits her...plus my Grandma had a special porcelain baby doll named Meredith that I always loved.
We are still waiting to find out if we get to visit her again today, so there will be more pictures to come if we do.
