And We are Having....

I first have to say, on the way to the appointment I was so excited I could hardly contain myself. I kept saying, "I really want another girl. But I really want a boy too. I want both! I don't know what I want!" 
Well, we are having a GIRL!
Yes, you read that right. We are so excited and can't wait to see her. 
In the office Zeb had the biggest grin and I was just elated. The girls are pretty excited too.

As we were walking out of the Dr's office Zeb said, "Come on ladies." Then said, "See, I have to be able to say that still!" We are so happy that she is healthy and that everything looks good. We couldn't be happier!

Now here is where we need help. After having a hard time picking a name for our third girl we are totally drawing a blank this time. Help please! What are some girl names you love?

CONGRATULATIONS!
We had a hard time with our third too but I don't have any girl names either. I asked Bryan the other day, "if we ever have a girl, what would we name her?" I am sure you will pick a fabulous name that flows nicely with the other girls. I say all the names together to make sure it doesn't sound weird with the other names.

We are so excited for you guys! It's just fun to finally know what it will be. I am no help with girls names since we can't even come up with a name for ours. Maybe I should get on the ball quick and claim one before you guys take all the girl names :) ~Meredith

You know us- we like biblical names, which limits the options considerably. You have to eliminate ones like "Bathsheba" since its not quite the role model you're going for! I've always liked Miriam and Hannah (Elise likes Hannah too.) Or what about Abigail- Abby would be cute. As far as my girls, I've used Danielle, Esther, and Abigail as middle names. Sarai likes Lindsay. Elise wants to pull out our big baby name book- she's got you covered!

I want to see the pictures. partly because I am in disbelief and partly because I can see you guys pulling a fast one !) I don't know about names, but I will get on that. Carol always liked Grace but I vetoed it. Or you could do what Carol's friend's Dad did, and name her after Zeb's ex girlfriends.

I am so excited for you guys!!! I think that the name paisly is way cute...but I will think of some others that I like and let you know!

Oh I just remembered I love the name Elsie...but my bff named her little girl that so it is out for us!

Michelle said...

I like Brendan. I like Luke. I like Jacob. Because I know you aren't having a girl. I'm in denial!!! Just kidding! Sorry I missed your texts and phone calls. I forgot to turn my phone from silent after school. I do that sometimes. Just totally forget about it. Anywho, congrats!!! And if you are pulling a fast one, I have dibs on the name Jackson.

I am so happy for you guys!! Ever since you mentioned the name Julia I've thought that was the perfect Fish name. Good luck!!

Well, I already sent you an e-mail, but Amanda and I must be on the same wave length because Hannah and Abigail were in my list, too. I also like Chloe, Sophia, Elllie, Grace, Lydia, Lauren, and I really do love Julia. (Of course, none of those are the names I plan to use....well, we've played with Abigail but don't have dibs.) I love you and am so excited for you. You and Zeb are so great with the girls that it may not have been good to mess with such a great thing! (Just kidding...you're good parents in general...I don't think that is gender specific!)

Congratulations! The Four Fish Princess'. How cute!

We are having the same "name" problem. If you want to use our name book again you're welcome to it. It's not helping us at all.;)

Leah and Zeb - congrats! I'm so happy for you guys. I put my two cents in for the name Gabriella. But whatever you pick will be great and I'm sure a name will come to you at some point. Wish I could hang out with you and see your cute family.
Love,
Michelle

Yea!!! I am so excited for you guys! Girls are the best! I liked the names Ada and Brinlee. Good luck. I'm glad she's healthy!

mk said...

Wow! Another girl! I think it's so funny that so many people don't believe you! Time to get on those fun baby name websites... I'll be brainstorming girl names as well :)

JanelWarner said...

I agree Julia is a good name and it fits you guys. David's sister's name is Julia and I really like it. All keep thinking. Love ya

The O'Briens said...

P.s. Did I mention this makes me want a little girl even more so that they can be best friends?!

Watts Family said...

Congrats! How exciting. I love having all girls, I wouldn't know what to do with a boy.

I really liked the name Lillian but it was too close to Popcorn's real name. We also really liked Abigail and Olivia. Good luck!

Michelle said...

okay, so here is my real suggestion. lily grace. one of my former students had a niece with that name and i think it is beautiful.

I completely understand. If we decide to have a third I would really love another boy. But if we were to have a girl some of the names we like are (and feel free to use them since we used your boy name) Megan, Isabelle, Danielle, Kate, and Madelyn. Good luck! I am so excited to meet this little one and to have you guys close again.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it." What could be more perfect than 4 girls!!!

Lots of love!

Steph said...

YAY! I was secretly hoping it would be a girl as well. How fun!! Ok, names...just to file in line with the other 3, you have to go with something Hollywood...but maybe something a little different? Coco? Apple? Suri? Shiloh? I'll keep thinking, but that should be a good start.

Good luck with the name thing! And CONGRATS on adding another royal princess to your family! I can just see you guys...12 Dancing Princesses! ;)

JanelWarner said...

I like the name Zebulette.
