We have a name!

Well, we finally have a name for our baby girl! We are going to use one of her birthnames and call her Teagan Elizabeth. Teagan is very similar to one of her birth names, but spelled a little differently. It had been on our list at one point as we have been searching for an Irish/celtic name as we named our son a celtic name. It's weird, but my husband's grandfather on his mom's side immigrated to England from Ireland and we looked into the origin of the last name and it turns out it's Scottish and my grandfather's family immigrated to Canada from Scotland. Turn's out hubby's family and my family originated within about 50 miles or so of each other, based on the name origin... So, we decided to give each of our children celtic names along with their birth names. Teagan means "beautiful" in Irish and Elizabeth means "consecrated to God" which is what we were trying to convey. We are sooo grateful to God for Teagan and for Liam!
