Hi there you left a comment asking me about the "previous" name we had for our daughter. Yes, she was going to be a MacKenzie all of my pregnancy. The day before she was born my husband suggested we go back to the name I had first wanted "Morgan"... I was too attached to MacKenzie by then, but when she arrived the doctor said "she looks like a Morgan" and so there is was, she became Morgan Paige. Now I can't imagine her being a MacKenzie. I still like that name, but I LOVE her name.
Thanks for stopping by and posting a comment. How did you find my blog?
