Tomorrow is baby gender day

Tomorrow is the day we find out if "The Baby in the Tummy" is a boy or a girl. Keep us in mind for this fun day tomorrow.

If anyone is interested it goes a little something like this:

Stephen - wants a boy
Ethie - wants a girl (or a puppy)
Brian - wants a girl
Erin - changes every single day, one day I'm all about a boy and girl makes me nervous, one day I'm all about a girl and think I have two boys already time for a change.
Everyone else - GIRL.

I have never had so many people care so deeply about what gender the baby is. Like I'm missing out on half of life just because my kids are just boys or something.

I do want to SHOP for a girl. So if I don't have a girl I need one of my closest friends to have a girl. I need siblings so I can have a niece. Wouldn't that be good?

On to names:

Girl names: Either Megan Lee Kellogg or Lilyann Lee Kellogg. This will be based on if the kid looks like a Megan or a Lily. Mostly dark hair makes you a Megan and light hair means Lily, but it's pretty much going to be up to me. You know during that insane hormone surge and supreme fatigue of having just given birth, THATS when I'll make the decision.

Boy names: So this is why I kinda hope for a girl. I HAVE two great girl names. I have no GREAT boy names. The middle name will be Verdie. It's a family name and that part is totally set in stone. All our names have to end in "n". Brian likes Warren a lot. I used to but am over it. I like Jackson or Lincoln. Marcia and Gram like Simon. Brian thinks "Jackson" is weird because we live in Jacksonville, but we do like it here so I think that makes it ok. We talked about Dalton, which is the lovely town my family is all from, but Brian's never been there and we don't love it, just the way it sounds, so that's silly. Kids are liking Ammon from the Book of Mormon right now. I don't know about Ammon Verdie, I mean those are both pretty weird.

I'm hoping if the baby is a boy that boy names will start to feel better to me. Or maybe that's why they don't, because it's not a boy so why would they feel right.

Side note, I'm in my pj's and my neighbor is edging his side yard. I need some curtains... Just sayin.

I'll be checking back to see what the ultra sound said! I like your names you picked out. I like Brian's choice on boys, Warren! Good luck with everything.
