What's in a name?

Zooey \
zooe(y)\ as a girl's name is a variant of Zoe (Greek), and the meaning of Zooey is "life".
The baby name Zooey sounds like Zoey, Zoie and Zoee. Other similar baby names are Josey,Joey, Rosey and Sokey.


Other similar baby names are NOT Sokey, Sookie, Sookeh, Sokeh, or anything like that.  But I just made myself giggle a bit.  :)  After seeing this, I think we actually chose an appropriate name for our little miracle.  She already means the world to us and is changing our lives in ways we never thought possible.  When I met/fell in love with Hubby, I didn't think I could love anyone or anything more than I love him.  I didn't believe it was possible for my heart to contain anymore love without bursting!  But then we saw our baby girl for the first time, when she was still just a little gummy bear.  Somehow my heart grew larger to accommodate my love for her; I could literally feel my heart swelling.  And it happened again when we heard her heartbeat for the first time, and again this week during the gender reveal.  Everyday when I feel her move, my heart gets a little bigger and I love her even more.


Speaking of feeling her move...the little rascal.  Hubby and I were laying in bed talking when she started kicking up a storm.  Not just little fluttery movements either; full on head butts and right hooks!  I told him to put his hand on my stomach, not thinking he would really be able to feel anything.  As soon as he touched my stomach, she stopped moving for a few minutes (he looked really disappointed when I told him).  We just kept talking and pretty soon she was back to cutting flips.  Suddenly she kicked super hard and I guess he felt it because his whole face lit up and he got all excited- "Was that her?"  After that he just kept telling everyone how awesome it was to feel his baby move for the very first time.  We haven't had a lot of movement like that, but it was sweet knowing she gave her daddy a special kick/headbutt.
