Chatham ~ the inspiration for her name

My husband and I fell in love with the name Chatham just days after finding out I was pregnant. Growing up I had some amazing memories with my Mother in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, particularly in the town of Chatham. Every time I say her sweet name I think of my Mother and it brings a smile to my face... I can't wait to tell my precious baby girl all about her amazing Grandmother who provided the inspiration for her name.


My Mom... Chatham's Angel 



Holding Chatham before leaving the hospital... wearing my "I Hope You Dance" 
locket (with Mom inside) from my Dad in memory of Mom. I didn't take it off from the moment I started going into labor until we got home from the hospital. My niece, Brooke, wore her Mom's locket while I was in labor for "good luck." Precious.

Me and My Munchkin ~ 3 weeks postpartum!

We decided to have some fun with the camera again and do a "tummy pic"... this time Chatham was an active contributor :) 
It's crazy looking back at this same "pose" less than one month ago... (a few posts below)
