IT'S A GIRL!

I am so very happy to announce (to anyone that doesn't know already) that i'm having a little girl! I never saw it being this way, but it's what i really wanted! Growing up, I always wanted to have two older boys and then a sweet baby girl. This, however, is not what God had in His plan. I'm torn between two names, one is a family name and the other is just one i have really come to like. I'm not really a stickler for keeping them a secret, so i'm putting them out there. You can tell me what you think, it won't bother me. In the end, it's my decision anyway :)

The first name is Aileen Grace. Aileen was my great aunt's name (my mother's aunt) and I really just think it's a wonderful name. Very classic and beautiful. I like Grace for two reasons. First, it reminds me of just how thankful I am that by the grace of God, she is healthy (so far) and my very own. Second, I like it because I think it flows so well and adds a great touch to the whole name.



The second name is Delaney Marie or Delaney Renee. Renee is of course my middle name. I never really thought about it, until my mother happened to mention it. I kind of like the idea of my little girl having something from me, even if it is only a middle name. I like Marie because it sounds pretty with Delaney (and although it is my cousin's name, she will not be named after her lol, sorry Ree). I really love the sound of Delaney. It doesn't have a particularly great meaning (from the alder grove, i think) and it's not a family name, but it's been growing on me. It's not an extremely popular name, which i like as well. It was probably my least favorite part of growing up with the name Sarah. I think it's a pretty name, but it's so popular for my generation, I was usually at least one of two if not more in my classes.



My mom and I have already gone shopping to celebrate, and she officially has her first outfit! It's very cute! Thanks Mom! It's hard to imagine I still have 19 weeks or so to go, but from what I hear she'll be here before i know it!
