Baby Update


This post will hopefully be followed up with a bunch of pictures, thanks to Aunt Linda for sending us our camera so speedily! Thank you Linda. But for now I have a bit of interesting news. As some of you know Hans and I are expecting baby number 4. We have told family and a couple others but for many this is new news. We have known for some time, but have been so busy over the summer it was placed on the back burner and we just went about life. Well, now that we are settled and I have a new doctor, things are back on track. So here is all the info we know. I am about 20 weeks, with a scheduled due date of January 20th. From the view the doctors had we are told it is a GIRL!! Yay! Now for the interesting part. In the past we have given our baby a family middle name. We have a few we are considering but are open to suggestions. The first name is already picked out and top secret. I don't want anyone stealing it, not that any of you live close to me... but still I am weird like that. So if you can think of some cute family names you would like to suggest, please do!

Congrats Merilee!! Four kids, you are a brave woman! :) Isn't your middle name Jane? I love that for a middle name. Very pretty.

Susanna Landon said...

Oh merilee, I am so happy for you. I want another girl for sure. I think you should go with one of our grandmother's middle names. Lucille or Elizabeth are my votes. If you use one then I am sure I will try to use the other. Anyway, good luck!

Nice! Wow, 4 kids! I think you should name her Bethany Star for obvious reasons. Haha!

Jennifer said...

I am so happy to hear that it's a girl!! Congratulations!! I think Agnes is a fantastic middle name...I am a bit bias towards it though because that is MY middle name! :)Love you guys.

P.S. Glad my mom sent the camera.

A girl!!! Yay! I sure hope she's much like Holly! :].

Now, I don't know Trena, but I'm with her...Jane is the best middle name! :]

Holly will have a sister! Yah!! I know how close you are to your sisters... Good luck with the middle name. . . can't wait to see pictures of her.

Kara said...

I hear you have a great-great-great-great-great aunt named Kara Diane. I'd definitely go with one of those. Congratulations Merilee!

Kristi said...

Yay! Holly gets a sister!! Violet is dying for one of those, but it's just not in the cards yet. I'm sure whatever you name her will be perfect, but Eric's mom's first name was Jane, so I'm a little biased.

Congrats Merilee! I don't have any suggestions for a middle name cause well, you know, I'm not family. Our girls will be the same age!

Congratulations on Baby #4!! You're brave to have more after 3. It's almost killed me. 2 boys, and 2 girls. Perfection!
