Oh baby!!


It's a GIRL!!  Yes, I am pregnant for those that may not know.  I am 20 weeks making my due date July 10th.  I had my ultrasound today and everything looks great.  Even though Andy and I were hoping for a boy, we both thought it was probably a girl so I wasn't too surprised.  A few weeks ago I was talking with the kids to see if they wanted a baby brother or baby sister.  They all wanted a baby sister and wanted to name her Lillie.  I asked them if they wanted a baby brother named Logan.  Braden immediately was so excited and yelled, "Taylor, Mom is going to have a dog in 20 days!"  Logan is the boy name that we've loved for many years and it also happens to be the name of our neighbor's dog.  I had to explain that I wasn't having a dog but I was having a baby.  Braden still had to ask Andy when he got home from work because really, what would be better than a dog?  They have never said they wanted a brother so needless to say they are thrilled about having a girl.  We don't have a name this time for the baby (we had names picked for all of our kids) so it's a little weird to not have a name to call the baby.  We had 2 girl names and 2 boy names that we have loved before we ever had kids so I always had it in my mind that we would have 2 of each and be done.  I always said if we ever had 3 girls the 3rd could be nameless because we have a tough time with girl names.  With this pregnancy we both started feeling like it was a girl and we would talk about what we would name it if was a girl.  I teased Andy and said if it's a boy we'll name it Logan and if it's a girl we'll name it Logan!  I guess we still have 20 weeks to decide!

Congratulations! What's wrong with Lillie? The kids figured it all out for you so you don't have to worry! Good luck with the name picking!

Don't name her Lillie! Yes, it is a nice name, but we know too many dogs named Lillie! I'm sure that you will come up with a great name for this sweet bundle of joy! If you need any help with middle names let me know ;)! Congrats!

Congrats! We kinda like girls at our house and I have to agree about girl names. They are hard to come up with. I hope you are feeling well. I'm so excited to see the temple as well. We are going as a family on my birthday.

Lillie is a great name! We have a girls name picked that is the same name as a friend's dog. But, I figure that dog will die before our daughter could ever be psychologically damaged. :)
I'm happy you're having another girl!
