Stephen and I are pleased to introduce you to our new baby girls. Ada Grey and Margot Dagny. Ada weighed in at a very healthy 6lbs 6oz, and measured 19in, with time of birth 11:23am while her sister Margot weighed in at 6lbs 2oz, and measured 20 in, with time of birth 11:24am

So now you know the names, Ta Da! There isn't a whole lot behind our choices other than we just loved these names and they just felt right for our little ladies. They sound very different but the meanings are surprisingly similar. Ada, means "Adornment" and Margot means "Pearl". Grey just means the color itself, and Stephen and I have always loved those lovely grey days. It has been something special between us since we met. Dagny is Norse for "A new day" and this is obviously that! Dagny is also the heroine of my favorite Ayn Rand novel "Atlas Shrugged", a book that changed my world view and way of thinking.
Mother and babies are doing great and again, we thank everyone for their prayers and support through this whole process. More to come soon..

Michelle squealed when she saw this post. Thank you so much for posting right away. This was great! The girls are beautiful. We are already having fun making out the different facial features and who they came from. We are looking forward to seeing you soon. We love you guys. Great Job! -J and the 3 M's
Woo Hoo! Congratulations. They are beautiful....I love the picture of the two of them together in their bed -- so so sweet. And I LOVE the names -- if our Asa had been a girl we were going to name him Ada, and well, I think Marlow is sort of similar to Margot -- So there you have it -- we have similar (wonderful in my humble opinion) taste in names. Much love to the four of you.
Holy Cow guys!
They are SOOOOOO CUTE! and BIG! I love the names, classy and sweet all at the same time.
Many congrats to your new full family of 4!
Thanks for posting pics!

Congratulations! I love the names you guys chose for your little ones. I'm glad you're all healthy & happy.
Oh my goodness!!!! I am so happy for you Stephen and Sarah:) Your girls are stunningly gorgeous! I love their names. My favorite picture is the one of Margot looking at the camera and of course the ones of you two holding them:) Lovely.
Congratulations to the both of you! They're precious little girls...and quite big and healthy! You're not pregnant anymore, either! :)
Truly, I hope all goes well, especially these first few days as everyone adjusts and gets to know one another. I've been thinking of you!
