I remember back in the day when I was just entering into my teenage years of angst that the thought of additional girls to my maternal extended family was enough to drive me into a rage of epic proportions. I liked being the only one; I craved being special. Some of this could be blamed on hormones, but mostly it was my extreme hatred for anything new that would change my established routine and experience. Now that I’m older (and wiser) I’ve come to see that girls are GREAT. What’s not to love when new additions to the family included Katherine, Lacey, and Isabella?
And soon now (well in March) there will be another girl! A new baby niece to adore and I am so excited. Kudos to John and Katherine for procreating females. Girls rule, boys drool. (Well, really all babies drool at first).
Not Katherine’s fetus.
Aww! Your family definitely needs more girls. J and K are doing the lord’s work.
There’s some debate in the family at large (possibly it’s just me) that the next child has to be a sequential alphabet letter–either H or L. I think J&K were considering another I name though. Are there other I names for girls? I’m drawing a blank. I might vote (not that I get a vote) for Hana.
Isadora, Innis (my new niece), Illyria…
Iolanthe! I came up with one. Um, also Irma. Which I’m against.
Baby! Leena. Congrats to John and Katherine. And Auntie Michele!
