Solace India Mae Laparra
January 1, 2012
8lbs 8oz
20 3/4” long
34 hours of labor
This little girl has completely changed my life.
Solace means “to comfort” and after our journey with adoption and our molar pregnancy, this name seemed so fitting and perfect. It’s pronounced “soul-ace.” We like the nickname Sol which means “sun” in spanish (bringing in Nick’s heritage).
India is a place Nick and I hold very close to our hearts. If ever the Lord wills, we would love to return someday.
Mae is after my great-grandma whom I was close with. She was affectionately called “Mae-Mae” but she passed away this year. Solace would have been her first great-great grandchild.
She’s so perfect in every way.
Nick’s face just about sums it all up! We are head over heels in love with her.
Feel free to visit us! Just call ahead to check in (we live on Solace time now!) But please don’t come if you’re sick. :)
How amazing to see the story of your daughter’s birth unfold over the course of yours and Nick’s blogging! :) Thank Jesus for his amazing ability to provide comfort in seemingly impossible situations. May you and your family be continually blessed.
Beautiful baby. I’m really happy for y’all, and I absolutely love her name.
