It is official! Nikelle is one month old today.
It is hard to believe that she has been in our life for one month. It just seems like yesterday that we found out we were going to have a baby. Life has had many changes in the last month. I think we are finally finding our way and adjusting to the changes.
Now for the middle name....Annlea (pronounced ann-lee). Nik and I struggled with this one and finally one night we sat down and listed both sides of the family and was trying to combine letters and names in some way. Nik's dad's middle name is lee and we were trying to think of how to carry part of the Gerritsen's after Nikelle got married. Well, almost two years ago, we both lost our close aunts. My aunt Ann was serving her mission in Flordia and past away from a car accident. His aunt past away a few months later after struggling with MS. Her middle name was Lea (Lee). Both of our aunts played a huge role in our life, and we started considering how to do this. Nik thought of Leann, but we wern't to sure. He later came up wit Annlea. When Nikelle was born we had to decide. Nik felt that Leann was an older name and liked how Annlea was different from everyone else, kinda like her first name. So, that is how Nikelle got her name. Now, Nikelle can grow up knowing she has her mom and dad's name and two very important peoples, in our life's, name to help complete it.
Now that we all know the history, and have become attached to cute little Nikelle, here is a slideshow to show how much our little princess has grown in one month! Enjoy!
