Updates

My awesome pregnancy announcement.

So I never update...but I don't think anyone checks this anymore so I guess it doesn't matter.   We're expecting our 6th baby this coming October and we found out last month that it is a girl!  (yay!)  Of course now that we're finally having a girl, I keep seeing cute little boy clothes, but I'm sure I'll get over that.  I went through our baby girl clothes (sizes Newborn to 12 months) and man that was a lot of pink.  It looked like our bed had been covered in Pepto Bismol by the time I was done.  It was a good thing I went through them though since apparently I did not organize them at all when I put them away.  I have all the baby boy clothes organized in neat plastic bins by size so that it's easy to pull out the next size and put away the smaller ones, but the girls clothes have been shoved in plastic bags and labeled (incorrectly in seems) then put in the attic for the last 8 years.  (Well really they've moved two houses since Isabelle was born two moves back, but still...)  Turns out, I have a TON of girl stuff....but it seems like many of the outfits have those peter pan collars on them that I don't like.  I guess it was just the style back then since I haven't seen many girl clothes with them since.  So our baby may be out of date in her wardrobe, but oh well.   I really want to find some of those cute flower/bow head bands that everyone is dressing their girls in these days.  I'm hoping I can find some that are big enough for her head...I remember with Isabelle I bought some for her and they were always too small and left big dents in her scalp so I only put them on for pictures then took them off again.

In the mean time, George has taken to waking up in the middle of the night for no good reason.  He was getting his leg caught in the crib repeatedly, so I always go check just in case since it sounds like he's in pain or something, but no he's not stuck and stops crying as soon as I pick him up.  We usually go sit in the dark for 10-15 minutes and then he'll go back to bed without any problem.  Crazy baby.  Hopefully he stops that before his sister comes.

It's a girl!!

We've been trying to think of good baby girl names.  Here are some I've thought of:

• Angelina Amelia
• Angelina Marie
• Angela Beth
• Kathrine Elizabeth
• Kathryn Anne
• Sarah Jane
• Sarah Elizabeth
• Molly....something...

Really we've been calling our theoretical future girl-child "Angelina" for several years now, but now that it's a reality, I'd like to have some more options.  I kind of like Molly, but I can't think of a good middle name.  Also, Molly always struck me as a down to earth, peasant-y kind of name and I wouldn't want her to feel bad in the midst of James, Henry, William and George, whom everyone presumes were named after the Kings of England (they weren't really if you want to know the truth).  So what are your thoughts, theoretical audience that still reads my blog even though I only post once a year or so?
