Double Trouble

The is a somewhat complicated story so please be patient while I try to explain how we ended up with two babies named Abigail in the extended Madsen family. When I was pregnant with Lexie and we were trying to decide on her name, Jake and I had few names that we liked and Alexis and Abigail were the tops of a VERY short list. When we found out that my brother and his wife were expecting a girl, due six months after ours and that they also liked the name Abigail we decided to go with Alexis. So when to our surprise, 8 years later the name Abigail had still not been used by any of our brothers or sisters for a name of one of their children we decided that we could now name this baby Abigail.
We knew that there were some Abbies in our extended family (on Jake's side) and that did not bother us. Another side note to this story is that since we already had two "A" names for our children I really felt like this baby needed an "A" name too, Jake said it didn't matter but I (being somewhat psychotic about things like this) just had to have another "A" name. Well trying to find another "A" name that we both liked proved to be a futile search so Abigail Dawn was chosen as her name. I then found out that Jenny was going to name her baby Abigail also but it is a beautiful name in my opinion and we can't have too many of them around. So anyway here is a picture of our Abbies together Abigail Dawn and Abigail Rose (Abbie and Abby for short)




We also took pictures of the three girls that same day... as you can tell it was harder than it should have been. Sitting up from left to right Abbie, Abby, and Natalee.
