In the dimly lit bathroom, soaking in the bubble bath, with only Gage as my witness i whispered my favourite baby name.
Immediately, Gage's face turned towards me & he leaned in so close, our lips were almost touching... he whispered it back.
i like names that have significance. i don't mind names that are different, or old, or unheard of. i want your name to *mean something to me*.
It's not likely to really be your name baby, afterall, dad & i have the hardest time agreeing on names, & i want him to like your name too.. likely in the next 5 months, there will be more names whispered out loud... rolled around like a werthers in my mouth, tested & doodled & examined for beauty and purpose...
but for just an instant... saying it out loud... made me feel like you're real.
So sweet... I can't wait to see what you guys end up choosing! I love the image of Gagey whispering it back to you... how sweet!!
ReplyDeleteI love the names you guys pick out! I think perhaps Neil needs to lighten up a little though, cause the names you like are beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteI love how you turn these beautiful moments into words for the rest of us to share in!!!
Was the name Jen? I bet it was.... ;)
ReplyDeleteWill you be whispering it here in Cyberspace? I promise to keep it to myself;-)
