We love her name and have had it picked out for years--we didn't know if we'd ever get to use it, so it's pretty exciting. </p> <p>mscholtz, unfortunately, we don't speak Dutch. Mike's parents speak some, but mostly the language wasn't passed down by their parents after they immigrated. We both are trying to learn Spanish, though, since we work in and visit Central America often. We hope to put Chickadee in French Immersion (we're Canadian) for school so that she will be at least bilingual in our country's official languages. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-to-meet-my-new-daughter/page/2#post-65669 Sat, 16 May 2009 12:08:04 +0000 hanna 65669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i saw this thread earlier but had no time to comment. brianna, i just wanted to say this little tale brought tears to my eyes! you are absolutely glowing in the picture, and the little chickadee, well, she's perfection. as for the name you picked out - it is absolutely beautiful (also figuring it out from the hints was like a puzzle, and i love puzzles. i'm such a nerd :P). </p> <p>this must have been the best birthday/mother's day for you! keep us updated on little chickadee i'm sure she'll grow up to be as stylish as her mom </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-to-meet-my-new-daughter/page/2#post-65568 Fri, 15 May 2009 15:21:18 +0000 Dawn 65568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats Brianna! Chickadee is so cute and the name you picked for her is beautiful. It must have been a wonderful birthday and Mother's Day for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-to-meet-my-new-daughter/page/2#post-65527 Fri, 15 May 2009 04:27:57 +0000 mscholtz 65527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Brianna, what a lovely name. Do you speak Dutch at home? We are bringing our kids up to be bi-lingual - my inlaws speak to them in dutch whilst it is english at home (unless they want to use the dutch words for things ) - my dad spoke spanish as well, so they are also learning that too - although from school and from me.</p> <p>So much to look forward to, good luck to you all </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-to-meet-my-new-daughter/page/2#post-65492 Fri, 15 May 2009 00:19:34 +0000 shell 65492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brianna - congratulations! Your story is so sweet and you all look sooo happy in your photo! I can't imagine how ecstatic you must be! The name is absolutely gorgeous, but chickadee couldn't be a sweeter nickname! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-to-meet-my-new-daughter/page/2#post-65469 Thu, 14 May 2009 17:55:49 +0000 merry77 65469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A Wrinkle in Time is one of my favorite books. What a beautiful name you have chosen. </p> <p>I posted my congratulations on your Unfashioned blog but wanted to say it again. Being an adoptive mommy is so awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-to-meet-my-new-daughter/page/2#post-65468 Thu, 14 May 2009 17:35:17 +0000 Ariadne 65468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes san, please email me for the password.</p> <p>mscholtz, my husband and his whole family are very Dutch indeed! So is my stepdad, who is going to go by Pake, which is a Friesan term for Grandpa.</p> <p>We have named her (we've had a name picked out for a long time), but I don't want her to be Googleable--I'm sure you understand. I can tell you indirectly, though. Her first name is the same as the author of A Wrinkle In Time, our favourite writer and also the French version of Magdalene, as in Mary Magdalene, my favourite Bible character. Her first middle name, which is the same as mine, is this (the L word): <a href="http://www.beautyhabit.com/media/leone.pastig.02.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.beautyhabit.com/med.....tig.02.jpg</a> And her second middle name is the name of the eighth book of the Old Testament (starts with an R). This is the middle name of my sister, my husband's sister, and my Granny. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-to-meet-my-new-daughter/page/2#post-65398 Thu, 14 May 2009 01:41:37 +0000 Anonymous 65398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like we need a password Brianna.

I read your post (blog) and noticed you mentioned oma and opa, are you or your husband dutch?? I only asked as my husband is dutch and that is what my 2 kids call his parents.</p> <p>Enjoy your time with your special little one, time goes by so fast. Good to hear you are both going to share night time feeds (it will help ).</p> <p>Look forward to more posts (both of your outfits (and of course babies)). Have you named her yet? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-to-meet-my-new-daughter/page/2#post-65366 Wed, 13 May 2009 19:45:10 +0000 Patience 65366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so sorry I missed this earlier!

Congratulations Brianna with your beautiful baby girl!</p> <p>(both you and your husband look absolutely radiant, but sweet little Chickadee steals the show!-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-to-meet-my-new-daughter/page/2#post-65100 Tue, 12 May 2009 05:57:16 +0000 Ariadne 65100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much, everyone! We're having such a great time. She's a magical little being. We're even getting some decent sleep, knock on wood, since we can take turns on night time feedings (one of the only benefits of formula feeding!). My Dad bought us a great stroller so I'm looking forward to taking her on long walks starting tomorrow. We'll see how many of my non-gear shoes can stand up to daily walks.</p> <p>Kathleen, you are sweet I'll post info on my blog. It's probably safe to put the URL here after all--it's bsquared.ca </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-to-meet-my-new-daughter/page/2#post-65075 Tue, 12 May 2009 02:08:50 +0000 greenglove 65075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So happy for you, what a great looking family!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-to-meet-my-new-daughter/page/2#post-65074 Tue, 12 May 2009 02:03:38 +0000 Becky 65074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am *so* happy for you, Brianna!

This is so exciting!!! </p> <p>P.s. do not apologize about the laundry basket: my mom used to keep us kids in a laundry basket too, and we all turned out fine! They were poor college students when they started their family and couldn't afford anything more.
