In my last post I asked that you all "think pink" and I am thrilled to let you all know it worked...we are having a girl! So thanks to everyone who was thinking pink right along with me! I am so excited to have a little girl to call my own. While being an auntie to one is also an amazing thrill...it is very different to know that you will have your own little princess.
Travis and I only really want two children...if my husband had a job in which he would never deploy or have to leave for months at a time, maybe we would consider one more...but now that we will have one of each our family feels complete. We said from the beginning of our marriage that we wanted a boy first (to be the big brother and protector) if we were going to have a girl and boy one day. We feel so blessed and excited for this next chapter of our lives and can't believe that God has entrusted us with not just one precious child but two!
We have decided on a name and don't plan on changing our minds. If you know Travis and I...we are not quick to flip-flop once we have made a decision on something. The name we have chosen is
Delainey Kae.
I have become addicted to watching TLC's A Baby Story (just like I was while pregnant with Parker) and saw an episode in which the couple named their little girl Delainey. I automatically fell in love with the name, and to my surprise Travis liked it too. I couldn't get it out of my head and Travis could see that there was no other choice in my mind...in my heart, I already knew she was Delainey. As for the middle name, we decided on Kae because it is Travis's mom Jammi's middle name. When she was having kids she hoped and prayed for a girl...and had 3 boys (not just boys...Guion boys...very energetic boys...head-strong boys...not to mention hard-working/loving/caring/family-oriented boys). Anyway, once she was done having children she hoped and prayed that one day she would have a granddaughter. I am thrilled that we were able to make this dream of her's come true. She waited 24 years for a girl and we thought after such a long wait it was only fair to pass her middle name down to our little princess. (and also because we love her!)
