We are TTC our third and final child. It’s very bittersweet for me. So far, I’ve loved pregnancy and the early years (as exhausting as they are). But for financial/logistical reasons, our third will definitely be our last.
I know it’s early to be thinking names, but I’ve just been wondering if there’s a name with a meaning or association that would be fitting for a final child. Something associated with being complete, or bringing peace, or endings (but in a positive way). I’m trying to focus on the wonderfulness of being complete, rather than the sadness of ending such a wonderful stage of life. Or conversely, the joy of new beginnings, since it’s the beginning of a new phase of life as well.
I hope I don’t sound crazy! (I’m mourning being done having children and I’m not even pregnant yet!) What names jump to mind?
