Little Sister

So Garrett and I did a little shopping today on the way home from the hospital. Here's what we bought...

Yep...it's a girl! (Don't worry--I'm an equal opportunity mother and Garrett also picked himself out some fuzzy circus animal jammies.)

To be completely honest, we've kind of been hoping all along for another boy. We already have everything, Garrett would have a little buddy, we've got the boy thing down, had a name all picked out, less drama/hairspray/make-up, etc. However, I got to the hospital early today and while I was waiting for Greg, I went to the gift shop and started looking at all the frilly little girl things. Of course, I started thinking about how fun it would be to have a baby girl...and the rest is history! I honestly couldn't be any more thrilled.

When we had Garrett, the female ultrasound tech checked the gender very first thing and we knew right away. This guy said he likes to check everything first and make sure the baby is healthy and then check for gender at the very end. PLEASE!!! I told him that only a man would do that to a new mom, and he just laughed. Thankfully, the baby is looking great and growing right on schedule--maybe even a day or two early.

This puts Garrett being the only boy cousin on both sides. It's a good thing he's such a manly man, but we would love some more boy cousins...any takers???

One more thing, what are we going to name this baby? ARGH! I had a name I really liked, but Greg said it reminded him too much of a crazy girl from his home ward, so we're not sure. Any suggestions???
