Bridgewater Adam Strenge

Right after we got married we had a joke that if Teddy Bridgewater got the Vikings into the Super Bowl we would name our first-born Bridgewater. We shared this idea with Adam's Uncle Bryan and Aunt Brenda. On the day we found out we were having a boy Adam brought up the name Bridgewater as a serious contender for his name and I realized it was no longer just a joke. On that day back in August we were about 90% sure that our son would be named Bridgewater. We found other significance with the name when we realized how beautiful the lyrics to "Bridge over Troubled Water" were and we thought it sounded like a letter a parent would write to their child. Additionally we had decided on a whale theme for our nursery since we had gone whale watching on our honeymoon in Quebec and the first time I felt our baby move was on the family boat this summer during our first anniversary weekend. Later in the summer we visited Adam's Aunt Brenda during her hospital stay in Sioux Falls and when would ultimately be the last time we saw her before she died in September. While we were visiting her she asked us if we were going to name him Bridgewater since she remembered the original joke that started it all. We loved that she would know his name and would be his guardian angel after she passed away and that sealed the deal for us to name him Bridgewater. Giving him his dad's name as his middle name was a very easy decision. As soon as we realized he was a boy during the ultrasound I felt an overwhelming feeling of joy that my son was going to have the most incredible man as his father and role model and knew he needed to share a name with my husband and best friend.
