Family, Teams, and Naming you!

Dear Froggie,

This weekend was a little rough. Your Grandpa has some issues that we as a family are going to have to help with. I know he is very excited to meet you though. All your grandparents love you so much already, they can't wait to meet you in a few months.

On the other hand, like your Dad said, he and I make an awesome team. We may argue sometimes but at the end of the day, there is no one I would rather spend my/our lives with. Right now, we are having fun trying to combine Mommy and Daddy's schedules. Its a little complicated but I am sure we will get used to it. Just know that you will be a very active little girl.

Lastly, we have had your name picked out, I think since before your dad and I got married. Your name is from a series of books by Robert Jordan. Your dad loves them (all 200 of them j/k dad!) and I got through about 4 of them but the one thing I got, was your name. Anaiya. We had no idea what it meant, we just both really liked the name. Then your mom, being a history person, liked the story of Katherine of Aragon before she married King Henry. (no worries, you will get to read about her later!) Her Spanish name was Catarina. With all the cultures you have going on (Mexican, Pakistani, Irish, Italian) we wanted to try to include as many of them as possible.  Luckily, after we found out what you were, we started looking the names up.

Anaiya- which is based in India- means "she who brings sunshine" or "God's gift"
Catarina- which is Italian/Spanish (and based in Greek) means "pure"

We both saw the meanings of your names and realized how perfect they are for you. You are going to bring sunshine to so many.

PS- lots of people have asked if I have felt you yet, and YES!!! You have quite the little personality there. Apparently you dont like the buttons on my pants all of a sudden and have decided to kick them repeatedly. You also like to move around right when Mommy is ready to take a nap. But, the stronger you are and the more you move, your Dad gets to feel you too. And, actually as I am writing this, you are kicking the buttons. Guess they are pushing on you in a weird way. Time to go get bigger clothes.

We love you little one!
