her name.
Psalms 17:8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
Proverbs 7:2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.
It is an old English use of the word “apple” and does not refer to the fruit we call the “apple” today. It refers to the center of the pupil of the eye.
When you make something the “apple of your eye”, it means to watch over it and protect and cherish it.

Her name is beautiful. 🙂 YOU are beautiful. Congrats, again, sweet mama.
I love it!! You look gorgeous.
Apple is the name of one of my very best childhood friends =) What a beautiful name that has such a sweet background.
FYI, my friend Apple is a great person. She's really smart, kind, works as a nurse, and is so pretty. I know your daughter will carry those same qualities.
Casey! I love it! Can't wait to welcome Apple to the world!
Simply beautiful! I adore this!
absolutely lovely. so happy for you and your sweet girl.
such a precious name!! 🙂 i love the meaning behind it.
I know I already knew the name, but seeing it with the scriptures makes it so real. Sedric and I went shopping right after I got your text, and we picked out something sweet for Miss Apple. Expect it soon…it needs some handmade touches first though. 🙂 Love you! Love her! Love this post!
that's the most different, and yet most creative name ever! can't wait to see apple for the first time :))

I love it when there is a meaning behind the name!
Beautiful. I seriously am so happy for your family, I can't even put it into words. No words truly seem good enough. God is good.

I knew it! For some reason, when you said you were going to tell us her name, I immediately thought of Gwyneth Paltrow and said "Apple" in my head. I was hoping!! It's so lovely, and it's just perfect.

Casey, I can't get over how cute of a bump you already have! Do you have any idea why you're already showing so much at the stage when most mommies are just starting to show?
just catching up on the blog today.
first of all. congratulations on your beautiful baby GIRL! so excited for you & the healthy pregnancy thus far. second, girl i fell in love with the name immediately…but after reading your reasons & meaning it became that much more beautiful. apple is going to be a precious daughter to you & the LORD. & i love that you take time & serious thought & prayer in naming the blessings He has given to you & chris!!!!!
XO
What a beautiful name and she will definitely be the apple of your eye along with Aiden and Ains–love it!
So precious!! Congratulations on yet another beautiful blessing from the Lord!! I can not wait to see/meet her.
Wonderfully lovely name & the meaning is beautiful! It certainly captures how we feel about our children…cherished, protected, loved, delightful! And, I may be biased, but Lucy is precious as the middle name! (Our youngest is Lucy.)
The photos are beautiful & I especially love the old school Pink Floyd tee!
May God bless your family!
