"HE looks great!" The words echoed about the room as I listened to a strong heartbeat on the monitor.
A boy.
A baby boy.
What will he look like?
How big will he be?
What kind of personality will he have?
What will I name him?!?!
A name is important.
Often the first thing you learn about someone.
An important and BIG task.
Nickolas. Ryan. Adain. Caleb.
Names swirled about my thoughts.
I'd decided on Caleb Andrew {or so I thought}
Caleb means faith...devotion...I loved the name.
Andrew after a dear friend who impacted my life in a major way...who'd recently passed away.
And then HE came swiftly into this world...and HE wasn't a "Caleb"...the name didn't fit him and so I was back to square one!
I loved the name Andrew. It suited him well.
Andrew
A Strong Man. Brave. Courageous. Manly. Warrior.
He still needed a middle name.
I heard the name Mitchell while in still in recovery...it sounded strong and slightly uncommon.
Mitchell
One Who is Like God.
December 10th 2002, mid-morning Andrew Mitchell came quickly into this world. Beautiful. Healthy. A sweet sweet blessing.
