They are still saying it will be a girl!  So we have moved from gender to names.  Steven and I began researching as soon as we found out we were prego for names we both liked.  A fun experience as we searched the web, books, listened to the day care behind our house call out the kids names to go home:) among other resources.  1 Samuel begins with a woman named Hannah who was faithful to God...

cliffsnotes: she was married to a man who was also married to another woman, but the other woman had all of his children because Hannah's womb was closed.  The woman picked on Hannah yearly but instead of yapping back at her, or any other useless response she prayed.  She was actually mistaken for being drunk at the time of her prayer for God to grant her a child and Eli rebuked her, when he realized he was wrong he blessed her and God granted her a child. Samuel...the story goes on from there. 

So we are going to name our daughter.....Hannah Faith Cox.  

Our next appointment is July 7.  More to come:)

I love the name Hannah and Faith is a great middle name! Hannah is one of the names that we really liked. I wish we could tell you our name, but you will just have to wait about 18 more weeks. :)
Hope you have a great week!
