Is this an announcement? :-)
Yes, indeed. :) Our littlest one is 7 weeks into his development, due to make appearance in early May.
Congratulations dear girl!!! We’ll be praying for a smooth and easy pregnancy!!!
Congrats! 3 kids, wow! It’s hard to picture Max and I having that many already, and you guys got married a year after us! I’m sure you’ll do great! I’m assuming a least a little part of you is hoping for a girl? Take care, and by the way- that was a really cute announcement!
My sister-in-law is having a girl in November, so on the one hand it’d be fun to have a girl playmate for her, but on the other, it’d be nice to let them keep the novelty for awhile, too. :) Last time I wanted a girl, but the boys are such playmates I’m glad I had a boy. This time I honestly don’t care. I’d like a girl or two sometime (they are already named, too: Geneva & Ilse), but this isn’t our last shot. :) I’ve also got the boy thing down, and if God gives us an all-boy family (what my husband prays for) I will be grateful and just spoil my nieces. :)
Geneva is a great name, how do you pronounce Isle though?
Congrats though. : ) Happy to hear it!
You could do Geneva with a “J” and keep up the trend. Appartently great minds think a like Geoff, I was wondering how to pronounce Isle myself. I-lee? I-ul?(sorry, not familiar with how to do pronounciations) I’m assuming you don’t pronounce the “S”? I think it could be cute, I’d just have to hear it to know. :) Congrats again, I hear you’re miserable-ginger helps- I’m sure you’ve heard. Take care. Just out of curiousity, how many do you have planned?
You pronounce Isle as I-ul and it means a small island. You pronounce Ilse as Ill-sa. Ilsa was the name of the heroine in Casablanca, but Ilse is the older spelling.
Right now we’re taking them as they come. Where we’ll stop, nobody knows. Just not at three. :)
Re an all-boy family.
Might want to talk to the Fink’s daughter. They have 6 boys. When they built their home they built a large all-tile bathroom that could be hosed down and even had a urinal!
Yes, I did remember the Finck’s family during our initial planning. Maybe we’ll leave some room in the bedrooms’ bathroom “just in case.” :)
Actually when I first saw that you wrote Isle as a pick, I thought of Ilsa from Casablanca, I always thought it was a pretty alternative to Elsa. It’s kind of neat to know it’s origins now. I think Isle is a pretty name, I like it more than Geneva, not that my opinion matters, I just think of the convention when I hear it. But, it’s nice too. Do you have any names picked out for another little Mr. yet?
No…boy names are more difficult. :) We have a couple on consideration, but none we’re thrilled about yet.
I had a professor in college whose first name was Isla…pronounced I-La. She was the only person I have ever known with the name.
Congrats again!
