Thomas’ baby sister has been named

Buddy and I have always had a difficult time agreeing on names. I didn’t know if our dog Max would even have a name as it took weeks for us to reach an agreement. Thomas’ name was the easiest because we knew we wanted to keep the namesake going and he would be the V. A couple of months ago, we started thinking about a name for Thomas’ baby sister. We both felt confident about what we wanted her middle name to be, but couldn’t quite agree on her first name. My favorite names for a girl include: Julia, Radie, Savannah and Eden. Buddy wasn’t particularly crazy about any of those names; so we actually ended up agreeing on a name that I never imagined naming my daughter and we couldn’t be more excited about it because it has such a special meaning.

When I tell people what Thomas’ baby sister’s name is going to be, I like to start with her middle name:

My middle name was Hope and Buddy always thought that would be a beautiful middle name for our daughter. Now we love the name even more because of the hope we have that we’ll see Thomas again. The picture above was recently taken when Buddy and I went to the beach. That week was tough for me because I couldn’t help but think about what it would be like if Thomas was there at the beach with us. This piece of décor was in our condo and I started crying when I saw it and had to take a picture. I believe God was reminding us to keep our hope because we will see our sweet baby again.

Are you ready for baby sister’s first name?!?!

Baby sister’s first name will be Alexandria. Thomas’ middle name is Alexander, so we thought using the name Alexandria would be a perfect way to remember his precious life. At the beginning of April, I had been thinking about Thomas’ name and how we could use part of it, and then my dad actually gave me the idea about Alexandria. We’re not completely sure yet what we will call her, but we have a lot of options. Buddy likes Alex or Allie. I like Lexie, and honestly, I would love to call her Alexandria. Buddy is afraid she wouldn’t be able to spell her name though, ha! We have plenty of time to decide however.

We believe without a doubt that Alexandria Hope will make her big brother very proud. We are going to make sure she knows everything about her brother and the many lives he has touched and changed.

I love it and the connection to Thomas. My nieces' name is Alexandra and her best friend was Alexandria. Friends called them Dra and Dria in school. 😉
