What's In A Name?

As many of your know we decided to name our baby Clara Lucia.  Jon picked out the name Clara and I picked out her middle name, Lucia. Jon wanted a little Claudia jr. but I wasn't having it! Then one day we were on a walk and Jon said, "what if we named her Clara? It reminds me of Claudia and I know she will look like a mini-you." I said I would think about it. Then one night I was laying still thinking about my sweet baby girl and her new kicks and then IT hit me! C-L-A the first 3 letters of my name. R-A are the first 2 letters of Jon's middle name Randall. Put it all together and what do you get?! CLARA! Our daughter's name will have the both of us! I was so happy and I thought all this time Jon was clever for thinking it up. I told him so but he looked at me and said, I never really thought of that before! Perhaps subconsciously my sweet man knew what he was doing all along :)

Lucia= My mother and sister Janeth's middle name + Jon's dear grandfather was named Louis, or Lou for short.

And finally, her initials CLB= my mother-in-law Christine Lillian Boress or CLB

WE LOVE HER NAME!

Head of Hair

My name is Claudia and I was born with thick, dark, straight hair. My mom recalled the look on her face and everyone in the room- pure shock! You see, her first child, my older sister Janeth, was born with a few hairs and they were blond and curly. Then I came along and it was jet black and very thick and beautiful. These thoughts are tickling my mind as I think of my daughter Clara. Will she have the same dark straight and thick locks I was born with? We will find out in 4 months! So please stay tuned :)
