Now that we know we are having a baby girl we can start the name game. We both tossed out some names we liked but now it's time to get serious and pick one. Who knew this would be so difficult?! It's a lot of pressure.... this kids got to live with this name forever, or at least until she's 18 and can change it to Princess Consuela Banana Hammock (Friends reference for all those who don't get it). Corissa's number one pick was shot down by Spencer but with no real alternatives. That means it's back the think pad or at least back to Corissa's sticky notes with names. Then we found it... ELLIE It means noble, exalted, sun ray, and shining light. It's perfect for our little girl!! Now for a middle name. This one's easy. We both wanted a name that meant something to us and so Corissa suggested using the middle name of her best friend Lindsay who is also the one who introduced her to the Gospel. Done! LOUISE We loved the way the names sounded together and Corissa even cried when she pictured holding our baby girl and calling her
ELLIE LOUISE
We love it!!
For our 22 week update - Ellie is kicking up a storm and Spencer was able to feel her for the first time today. It's fun to watch Corissa's belly move! She has a hard time sitting still and not giggling while Ellie moves around. Corissa felt her for the first time a few weeks ago at church but the past two days have been really fun and active. Corissa is feeling great and her belly has really popped out. We'll take a profile shot of the bump at our next doctor's appointment.

Congratulations! We are in serious name denial over here. :-) We've decided to try to narrow down to three and then see what she looks like. I'm always impressed that people can come up with names before their babies arrive. I guess we're a little indecisive. Can't wait to see what she looks like!
You are right...the name...is perfect! I love it! CONGRATULATIONS!
I LOVE IT!!!! I'm already in love with this little baby girl and can't wait to meet her...I'm sure you can't either!
LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

Can't wait to hear more updates!!!!
I really love the name! And i love the reference to Friends (great episode)!
We had a lot of trouble picking our name but we are going with Dane Andrew Janssen. I was at the docs yesterday and was having braxton hicks contractions so he had to wait to take my measurement. So weird! This whole experience is wild! thanks for the update!
How exciting to have a name decided upon! I have to say the name Ellie is lovely and I think it is a great pick!!
Super cute! I love the name Ellie! You're right that's perfect!
