Gala Noreen arrived!

[name_f]Welcome[/name_f] our first baby into the world just five mixtures after midnight on [name_u]Jan[/name_u] 11.

[name_f]Gala[/name_f] [name_f]Noreen[/name_f]

[name_f]Noreen[/name_f] is my late grandmothers name who I owe all my life’s happiness, tenderness and love to. She took me under her wing when my mother passed.

[name_f]Gala[/name_f] is old Norse for Singer and I love the celebratory tone of it. We will call her [name_u]Gal[/name_u] for short.

Grateful she is healthy and well! Thanks to all the berries who chimes in on our forum posts while choosing her name.

Congratulations, mommy and daddy, and welcome to the world, little [name_f]Gala[/name_f]! What a great name!

Congratulations!! :slight_smile:

She has such a beautiful, meaningful name! Congratulations!!

What a unique, cool, beautiful name! Congratulations!
