As I worked in the temple, with you inside me, I sensed that you seemed to have a special connection to Mother Eve, so I thought Evangeline was a beautiful way to honor that relationship. Grandma Evelyn was a mother figure to daddy, and we wanted to honor her. Aunt Angela was another inspiration for your name because she was always a beautiful mother figure for me.
Mommy went to lunch with her sisters and told them that she was pregnant with you, aunt Ann already knew because I asked her for some advice on the healthiest supplements to use. We told your grandparents your gender by giving them scratch off cards that the doctor gave us on December 19th, and we told the Facebook world by posting a picture of your first outfit. We received an outpouring of love and congratulations from everyone. We all knew you were going to be a special little miracle in all of our lives.
