What is in a Name?

One of the most common questions people ask when you are pregnant is "do you have a name?"  We have been asked that numerous times, and our response has been we are praying about it which we have.  We pray, and we want to make sure we are giving her the name God has for her especially since He has known her way before we have. 

So, what have we been calling her?  Well, take a look at the picture above.  To the average person, it is a pecan.  It is small, and there isn't much to one.  Now look at the picture of our first ultrasound below...

 

When we saw this picture, it gave the appearance of her looking bigger than she really was.  Trent and I were discussing how big she was when the doctor said she was about the size of a pecan.  Really?  Just look at those two pictures, and it is unreal to think about her being SO small.  It is amazing to think about God's creation, and how He determines each one to be created and grow.  Well, from that day forward, she has been called "Pecan".   I know that isn't the most likely nickname, but it has stuck.  Will we continue to call her that?  I seriously doubt it, because I think she will come out asking who this "Pecan" was that we talked to all the time especially her daddy.  No matter what her nickname is or not, we will have the name God had planned for her before the beginning of time.  

Besides, we really don't need a name until we leave the hospital.  :-)
