Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice

The verdict is in and the Georgia Cannons will be adding another girl to the famiy! We all (except for Papa) thought it was a boy, so the news is still sinking in. We are very excited though! Now we're just shifting gears and trying to come up with a girl name :o) The tech said she was definitely sure and that she's never been wrong in 16 years. Actually, it was pretty obvious. I was nervous Gabe would be disappointed. Of course every boy wants a little brother! But, we had extensive conversations about who gets to choose if it's a boy or girl and that it could just as well be a girl. He even got to one point when he said he hoped for a girl. He handled the news well and was even excited. He thought it was cool to see the ultrasound. His response was, "so...it's a girl?" A few days later he did show his true feelings when his preschool teacher asked what we were having. He rolled his eyes when he told her. But, I give him credit. Most of the time he acts very excited. No doubt he will be a great big brother to both of his sisters!
So, let's start thinking pink! Anyone have any names for us? ;)

Dad says La-tricia
I say how about the bible name of Chloe or Lilly? I have a friend who named her baby Luci and one that named her Lulabell after her grandma- so cute! Priscella (bible name) and call her Prissy- Savanah, but that isn't a bible name if that is what you are going for but it is southern. Isabelle is cute and call her Bella- hum, fun to think of names....

Yay for girls! That made me laugh about Gabe rolling his eyes LOL :) He's a trooper. I really like Penelope.. but I already told you about that one. I like some of mom's too... Chloe and Lilly. Also Lucy(i) and Isabelle. Anyway... now I KNOW that there were 4 little girls up in heaven not too long ago, who are buddies and wanted to come together :) Now that Grace and Elle are here, the other 2 just couldnt wait! Its gonna be so FUUUUUUUUN!!!!! :)

Gabe would have loved a brother, but I think every girl NEEDS a sister! So congrats to Grace. :) Fun stuff!

I am so excited about your news! I think Hannah is a lovely name. Or Ruth, but I'm sure you'll come up with a winner!
