A Name and Clarification

We have decided to name our daughter Elizabeth Adah Tully. Elizabeth is Hebrew for "consecrated to God" and Adah is Hebrew for "beautiful addition." (Thanks, Houseworths, for the idea of Adah- we hope you do not mind us using that name. We miss you all!) The meanings of the names we choose for our children are always important to us and we pray that Elizabeth Adah's name will be brought to fruition. Yes, for all of you who are thinking it- we KNOW that her initials will be EAT and yes, her first name is four syllables instead of three. (Actually, Eric didn't realize that until we had settled on Elizabeth.)

Okay, now for the clarification. My pregnancy is going smooth with NO complications. With EVERY pregnancy we have seen a OB DR and had ultrasounds done in addition to the much higher quality care we receive from our midwives! We had heard from a few of you that you thought something was wrong due to our earlier posts- sorry for the confusion! Elizabeth is healthy and VERY active. Praise the Lord for His mercies!

Well, what a beautiful name! Do we get some kind of kickback for ya'll using not one but TWO of our girls' names? (Shiloh's middle name is Elizabeth. :) )

We pray that she will live up to her name!
Love,
The Houseworths

Elizabeth is also Margaret's middle name (and mine!) I guess my kickback is babysitting, eh? :)

Dawn,

Yes... though you all babysit for US way more than we return the favor.... maybe I'll have to treat you to Starbucks... I can't believe you have never gone!!!

We will continue to pray that Elizabeth, all well as the other children, will grow strong in our Lord.
