It's a . . .

Well, we're all moved in and our house looks like a tornado hit! I really don't feel like putting much together yet - I'll just wait until that whole nesting thing hits. :) The short-sale went through smoothly and the new owners even bought our refridgerator from us, which allowed us to leave the fridge there and not have to move it! It's been a long week or so, but we're all recovering well. We had Tony's brother Peter here with us for a week and he was such a big help with moving the big things around with Tony and helping me keep after the kids while I attempted to pack & clean. Thanks Peter!!

We found out yesterday that we'll be adding another sweet little baby girl to our family! With she and Emma being so close in age, I really hope they'll have a good time together. Alex is such a great big brother, but he's pretty bummed that this baby is a girl instead of a boy...he was really looking forward to having a brother next. Maybe next time. Tony got all teary-eyed when the ultrasound lady told us...he's such a big softie. I'm really anxious to see this little girl...wondering if any of my children will ever look like me, if this baby girl will be a little blonde baldie with Emma's sweet personality, or if she'll come out with dark features like my handsome Alex... I'm so super excited!

As Tony and I were discussing name options, I, very jokingly, mentioned that we could go with the whole A-E-I-O-U theme since we already have the Alex & Emma going on. He's totally hooked on the idea. Fantastic! So, we need some decent ideas of girl names that start with an I...please help! We're considering Iliana, but I'm not totally convinced. What do you think?

Glad to have my internet back...I've missed everyone! :)

Congrats on your little girl!!! :)

You're looking for "I" names huh? That's a little tougher.

Ilyssa? Ilana? Ilse? Ina?

You could always go with Isabella.
*(and call her Bella) It's the popular thing right now! ;)

Another name you could consider is Isabelle or Isabella. I think that's a cute name! And congrats on the girl! I'm glad that a few of you are bucking the baby boy trend! Gotta have someone for all our little boys to marry. ;o)

I sure miss seeing you around. Glad that you got to the new house safe and sound...even if it is a disaster area.

I like Independance and you could call her "Indie or "Indee".

Not a lot of options with "I", but you could always go with Isabelle and call her "Izzy".

Congratulations on another girl! I'm glad the move went well. I don't have any name suggestions other than Ilia, which is really close to Iliana. Everything else I can think of has already been suggested!

Oh, I've got it....Iliza!!! I LOVE that name. My sister in law's name is Eliza and if it weren't a family name currently in use I would have totally named our last that.

Do you like????

Aww congrats on the baby girl!! That's so funny you are trying to go with the alphabetic flow because we did the same thing. We have Hayden James and now Isaiah Kingsley and when you alternate their initials you get H-I-J-K.

Congrats on the girl! I'll have to think on the "I" name for you. : )

Congrats on the news of it's a girl! What about Imari, India, or Ireland? What about middle names? Hey, I one of those baby slings (brown and pink), do you want it? Kate hates it, lol.

There's always Ingrid or Iris which are both kinda cute. My cousin's little girl's name is Italia (but then, he served his mission in Italy). Personally though, my vote goes for Isabelle. I think it fits best with Alex and Emma. (And does this mean you're gonna have 2 more after this one to complete the A-E-I-O-U theme? haha!!)
By the way, I'm leaning towards Wednesday to visit. I'll give ya a call. Love ya girl!

I fee like I'm Connie deprived! I need to talk to you and once again I am a looser and don't have your #. Call me if you get a chance or let me know your #. I'm so glad to hear that your short sale went through because that is what we are in the process of with our Flag house. I need to talk to you! Love you, Melissa

How sweet. I am so excited that you are having another cute girl. How fun and it sounds like all went well with the move...well as good as it can for moving and be pregnant and already having 2 kids! So for an I name....Ingrid,Isabelle,Isabella,or you could skip the I and go with O and name her Olivia:). Take care and I will keep on thinking of I names for you.

Congrats! I was going to suggest Isabel, but looks like everyone beat me to it. I have a niece with that name and I like it.
