Here She Is!

Birth Announcements

On [name_f]April[/name_f] 10, 2018, we welcomed our third child and second girl! She weighed 7 pounds 9 ounces and has a bit of dark brown hair.

Her name is [name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Esther[/name_f] [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f]. We call her [name_f]Nell[/name_f] and [name_f]Lina[/name_f]. (pronounced [name_f]Helen[/name_f]-a)

There was a lot of deliberation, but we decided on [name_f]Helena[/name_f] in the end because the nicknames are so sweet. Also, our good friend [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] (nicknamed [name_f]Nell[/name_f]) was just diagnosed with cancer, so it honors her through the nickname. [name_f]Helena[/name_f] has a slight connection to [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] ([name_f]Helena[/name_f] Ravenclaw, my Ravenclaw heart loves this!), as do her siblings [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] and [name_m]Tobias[/name_m].
The idea for the name [name_f]Esther[/name_f] came from [name_f]Millie[/name_f]'s middle name [name_u]Jean[/name_u] and [name_u]Toby[/name_u]'s middle name [name_u]James[/name_u], which are the middle names of [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] [name_m]Granger[/name_m] and [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m]. [name_f]Esther[/name_f] is [name_f]Tina[/name_f] Goldstein’s middle name so we love the connection there.
[name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] is for my sister [name_f]Elise[/name_f] and my [name_f]MIL[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. That way each kid has a HP first name, more HP middle name and a family 2nd middle name.

Siblings are
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] [name_f]Ann[/name_f] ([name_f]Millie[/name_f]) and [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] ([name_u]Toby[/name_u]). They are so in love with their sister!
