Did I say Charlotte?! I meant to say Taytum!!!

Well, to make a long story longer...If Tyson ended up being a girl his name would have been Taytum. When I got preggo again and we were having a girl we tossed the name Taytum around. The only problem was the "Taytum" I pictured looked more like me when I was born (little and bald) and not like my first baby (big and tonz of dark hair). I thought for sure she would have the same dark thick hair Tyson had and the name Taytum or Paisly totally fit the image I had of her in my head. The name Charlotte won and I had it embroidered on a blanket my mom made for her. When she came out she was bald!! The first thing I said when I saw her was "She doesn't have any hair!" I was totally baffled, she looked nothing like the Charlotte I had pictured. My mom and sister thought the same thing...she didn't look like a Charlotte and we have all had a hard time calling her that. We just called her "baby girl" or "love bug". Two nights ago I was struggling with why we were going to name her Charlotte. Because her name was embroidered on a blanket? I was going to call her something I felt didn't fit for the rest of her life because of a blanket?! I told Trev and he agreed 100%. So today when she was blessed, the name she was given was...Taytum BreAnna!! It was kinda funny because we really didn't tell very many people so BreAnna and most of our family found out when she was being blessed!

I'll have pics posted later :)
