Many of you guys have asked if we have any names picked out for baby girl #2, and of course we have!! You don't think I haven't been thinking of names since the very second I found out I was pregnant?? C'mon....
We decided to name our newest little squirt: Samantha Jane!
I had looked up what the meaning of her name was, (because I'm just kinda dorky like that and think thats kinda cool), and discovered her name is a variation of 'Samuel' and means 'Listener of God'.
I think thats just completely and utterly awesome.
We wish nothing more for our little ones than to love God with all that is in them and to comfortably have a wonderfully intimate relationship with him. To think that they would truly listen to and follow Gods leading in their lives? Just beautiful.
Even though we named Olivia after our favorite character on our favorite show at the time: Olivia on Law and Order SVU, I have since discovered that her name evidently means 'Peace' as it is a variation of 'Olive' or Olive branch.
Seeing as she's not the most outwardly quiet creature on the planet, and while I NEVER want her to lose that vocal spunk that I love so much about her, my prayer for her is that she develops a beautiful inner peace as her relationship with her heavenly father grows.
I'm so excited to be able to watch my two beautiful girls grow up to be just what they were created be: Gods precious precious daughters!
