It’s such a divine feeling

 It’s such a divine feeling choosing your baby’s name while you’re pregnant. You say it out loud. You wonder if it feels too big or too small. You write it in notes on your phone. You picture all the tiny moments you haven’t lived yet.

And then they’re born. You look at them. And suddenly that name you whispered for months settles onto them like it was always meant to be. Like the universe knew long before you did.

Nothing else would have fit. Nothing else would have felt right.
It was always their name.
