Its a Girl!

As many of you know by now our Baby is going to be a girl. I wasn't quite sure how to react when we found out. I always wanted a boy first ... I dont know why. Maybe because I never had a brother and I always thought it was cute to see girls with their older brothers. But I dont mind having girls. As my dad said... "Welcome to the Irvin Curse" HAHA! He never had boys. All girls. But my mom said that girls can be great! She had three that she loves very much. SO i got over myself and we are going to name her Lily Joann. The first name cam from my mother who randomly called me one day before Colin and I were even pregnant yet and said, "I heard the cutest name for a baby girl today, If you have a girl you should name her Lily." The funny thing was is that was one of the names that I liked and was throwing around to my picky husband who didn't really care for it at first. But I won. He was especially ok with it when we decided to have her middle name Joann. Joann was Colin's Oma's name. He loved her very much and still talks about her often. I never did get to meet her, she died before Colin and I met. She sounded like an amazing person and we are proud to have a piece of her in our daugthers life.

I love the name Lily and still want to name my daughter Lily Jayne but I doubt I will win that arguement. lol

I love the name Lily also. I have a good friend who is expecting a girl in March and naming her Lily and I think it is the cutest name! Way to take it before we could use it ;) Just teasing! Besides, I don't know if I would have won that argument with David ;)
And I'm glad you guys are using the name Joann. David has told me how much Oma meant to Colin and that will really mean something to your little girl some day.
