First Name: Not only is it a family name but also in the book of Esther located in the Old Testament, we read of a queen who was beautiful, faithful, obedient and destined to do something great. As a result of her courage & faith she ended up saving her people from being killed. Hence the name Esther.
Middle Name: In the Bible & The Book Of Mormon ( Isaiah 48:18 & 1 Nephi 20:18 ) we read that the Lord wants our righteousness to be as continual as the waves of the sea. KAI- means sea in Hawaiian and LE’A means joy in Hawaiian. We want our daughter to find joy in being righteous and keeping the commandments of the Lord. Our hope is that when she thinks of her name she will remember why her parents gave it to her.
The moment I saw her I was overwhelmed with the Spirit of the Lord. The last time I felt the Spirit that strong was when I was baptized in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
We have so much love for this little girl.
My two princesses! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah I love them so much! Yesterday Eve broke down into tears because I was showing more attention to Esther. It crushed my heart as she stood there with a face of "mommy do you still love ME?" As any postpartum mom would do with hormones going all over the place I just cried and hugged and kissed her many times reassuring her that I loved her very much. You know, I don't know how Heavenly Father does it. My love for him is growing deeper and deeper each day for him and his son because of the way they love and SHOW it to ALL!
My mother has been my earth angel. She has HELPED me out so much and in so many ways. I love you mom and I'm so proud to call you my MOTHER!
Esther's Birth Story: Coming soon. Still need to record it when I get the chance.
