It's a Girl!


Yesterday afternoon we saw for ourselves that it's a girl! We were kind of expecting it to be a girl from what we saw on the first ultrasound, so it wasn't too surprising. I'm excited to have another little girl in the house. Lindsey will have a good friend to be girly with. Derek and Miranda wanted it to be a girl, so they are really happy. But, as Larry puts it, it doesn't really matter if it's a boy or girl till they're about a year old anyway. I agree- except girl's have the cute clothes!
She was very wiggly during the ultrasound, so it took the full hour to look at everything. It was so fun to see her and to think that the next time we see her will be at her birth! Will she be another Miranda clone?? It will also be nice to have a few months to figure out a name because we have a hard time with girl names in general. We also have to get some bunk beds for the girls before then too, so it's good that we have the summer to prepare!

That is very exiting. Congratulations. Once again our genders don't match up:) I have a harder time with boy names. That ultrasound picture is so clear, I have never seen one so good. Happy Happy Happy!

Congrats! When was your first ultrasound? Could you really tell it was a girl then, or just a gut feeling? I have to say, I think boy clothes can be awful darn cute too.

Okay here are some great girl names. Mandy, Amanda (It goes well with Miranda), oolaytoddanaylooniz, or how about Mia, just don't go with maid on the middle name. Or you could do Kadee, Rianna, or Corella after your siblings, okay girls names are hard.
