We finally found out that...

we're having a girl! Our premonitions were right! We are sooo excited to have a little girl in our family and that everything looked perfect and right on schedule in the ultrasound. We are leaning towards Ellie for her name, but we're open to suggestions that anyone might have. My only concern is that eventually she will be sharing a room with Jake, and currently his room is dark blue. I guess we'll figure that one out when we come to that point. We can't wait to meet this little girl!

We have loved the name Addison. But my bro named his girl Madison so we were never going to use it. Then, when we were pregnant with Ty our girl name was Carson. (we did not find out until he was born what he was, so we had both a girl and boy name picked out.) So anyway...those are my favorites!!! I am so happy for you and it was fun catching up today...

Congrats Congrats Congrats!!!! I am so excited for you guys. I think Ellie is a darling name. I get to find out what I am having in about 5 weeks. I am so jelous. I am sad you guys went back to Utah. At least we got to hang out once before you headed back. Erin I am sure you are glad to be back. Good luck with everything.

Yippeee!! That is so great! There is something to be said for mother's intuition. I totally knew Mara was a girl from the time I was 10 weeks! So crazy!
I'm so excited for you! Yeah for pink & purple stuff. I need to make you a blanket :)

Yeah! Girls are so much fun! I wouldn't worry about the color of the room right now, Kait and Christian share a room and it's yellow and very girly, but he doesn't seem to mind yet. :) I have always loved the name Kamryn for a girl, but Joel wouldn't let me use it. I'm still waiting for someone I know to use it. :) Congrats!!!

YAY-Congrats! You will love having a little girl-they are so much fun to dress and play with(although they do get a little emotional!) Hope you are feeling ok....

Glad you are back in Utah. We need to do an RC Willey reunion lunch sometime.

Ellie is a great name-and sometimes you have to go with those first instincts. We have used our favorites already (obviously), but actually, I also LOVE the name Addyson. Whitney was almost Addyson. But at the rate we are going, I'm sure we will have another opportunity for a girls name! :)

SWEET!! It doesn't get any better than having one of each! I love the name Ellie- I have a new neice with that name. I also love the names Clair and Sarah, but those are pretty traditional so I guess it just depends on your style. Whatever her name, I'm sure she'll be beautiful! Congratulations!

Jeremy- I'm glad you could get a little nap in while looking at my blog:)

Congrats! I just love girls! I am so happy for you all!

Yay! That's great news! Having one of each is wonderful. And even sharing rooms is fun. I have my kidz colors in primary, red, blue, yellow. We also have a few spidermans on blake's wall, and a few princesses on Alli's wall. :) It works.

I'm so excited for you!

Stella said...

Yeah! I am so excited for you guys. Congratulations! I love the name Ellie. So sweet.

I was wondering when we would get the news. Girls are fun, and I should know. Oh, and by the way, Jake is welcome to date any of my daughters. I think he's such a cute kid. Congratulations you guys, that is so exciting!

Its about time you know right? jk Thats awesome you are having a girl too. I think its the season for girls! Isnt it fun trying to figure out a name. With Abbie I knew that was to be her name but this one I am unsure. I think Ellie is so cute. My niece name is that and she is super cute! Congrats!

Brooke Bennett said...

I love the name Ellie! Other names I like are McKinley, Rylee Paige, Bella, Maya, Megan and Madison. But Ellie really is so cute!

Munford Family said...
