What's in a name??

Many people have been asking me how we came up with Bella June as her name, so I thought I'd share it on the blog.

After we found out about her cleft lip/palate, both of us felt so deeply that we wanted her to know - amidst all the struggles she may experience or weird stares - that her Mommy and Daddy thinks she's the most beautiful girl in all the world. Thus, Bella (Italian for beautiful) stuck out to us over any other name and just seemed to be a perfect fit.

We struggled to find a middle name that fit (harder than one would think!), and one person jokingly asked what month she was conceived in to use as a name. Well, December wasn't exactly what we were looking for, but that led me to think of our anniversary month, June. It seemed perfect, as she is a product of our love and devotion to one another. We both loved it and the meaning that it holds.

So there you have it! Bella June Fugler.
