It's a GIRL!!!

"GIRL'S" rule...



and "BOY'S" drool!!!



Soon, we will be out numbered!



BUT...there is still room for one more!



WHAT!! I was sure we were having a boy. Boston Jay was his name. All my girlfriends up here in Idaho are having girls so I thought I would be the one to throw things off with a boy. From day one I set myself up to think "she" was a "he!" It was no secret that I thought it was a boy and was soooo wrong!

I am realizing that it is a blessing from Heavenly Father that I will be given a girl. Hopefully a mello girl because I know that 2 boys (namely Dalan....) could probably do some major destruction around our house! I will gear up for another sassy pants to join the fam!

I am in conversion mode and currently changing my thought process to pink and lace and girlie....which I am so excited about! Macie is so excited to have a little sister! This just means that we will out number the boys and will always RULE!

Still tossing around names but really loving Khloe Lin! Any suggestions!?

I love that name!!! I think it is great!!! I'm so excited for you to have a girl! Can't wait to see what she will look like since Macie is a clone of you and Dalan is Dave!!! Congrats!

That's a lot of estrogen in the Grantham house! My prayers are with Dave and Dalan. :-)

And you are so brave opening up name suggestions to the blogging world at large! What does the winner get if you pick their name??

Wow! Everybody has so many effin kids! I am so amazed at all my old roommates. I changed a diaper this weekend, and thought I deserved some sort of spot on the 5 o'clock news.

Congrats on the gender surprise. Is it weird to congratulate someone on that? Like it's an accomplishment? See? I'm so not good at this baby stuff!

Whatever. I'm congratulating you. You deserve it, mama!

Brittany said...

Congrats Lin!!! I love the name Khloe Lin. I think it fits your fam perfectly. I think GIRLS RULE too! Our 3rd baby girl is the most adorable little thing ever! I'm so excited for you! Happy shopping! ;)

shel said...

Just think of all the fun "adventures" you could have shared here if Dalan had a little sidekick! Too bad!! But, for your sake, we'll keep our fingers crossed for minimal destruction and lots of sweetness :)
(Of course, you never know - girls can make great sidekicks, too...stay tuned!)

Jaimelee and Steven Holm said...

Congratulations!!! I am so excited for you! I can't believe you are going to have 3 kiddies:) YOu are impressive! When are you due?

Malaree said...

CUTE NAME! Definitely name her Khloe Lin... I can already picture her! She is going to be a doll just like Macie girl! So happy for you guys!
P.S. Remember how you cursed me with, "I hope your baby boy is a terror like Dalan?" So far, he is the BEST baby in the world. You know that means he probably will be a terror when he gets his hands on things though! Ha ha!

Congrads! I am so excited for you! I love the name Khloe. Of course I loved the name Kayla, but I got that one! Congrads again!

Christina P. said...

I too am a fan of Khloe Lin! I don't think you can change it now, everyone loves it! You can put Boston on the back burner for the next baby!

Christina P. said...

BTW, are you trying to make me feel even worse! Your perfect little kids smiling all perfectly for the camera at the same time! Whatever!

The Park Family said...

Skinner Family said...

Congrats!!! Girls do Rule....but I wouldnt know the difference!!! I wish I could give you name suggestions but I may need help myself. We have it narrowed to one name but life throughs curve balls so I guess it could change last minute. Anyways, Congrats on the girly!!!!!

Okay where have I been...I didn't know you were pregnant! Congrats, congrats soon to be mommy of three! And I love the name if that's what you pick! Hope you're feeling good!

The Foisy's said...

congrats! That is exciting. I thought Avery was a boy too! We called her Konner for four months and then when we got the ultrasound, she was totally spreading her legs. She was sick of us calling her he! I'm happy for you!

Maegan said...

KT Bundy said...

I didn't know you were prego! Congrats! When is your due date? I for sure thought I was having another girl this time round!

The Nance Family said...

Congratulations! That is exciting and scary at the same time to be out numbered. We would love to come to Boise, we'll keep it in mind next time were up that way.

Grantham Family said...

congrats! way to keep in the true Grantham men ways, we are great at making baby girls.

Kirsten Brockner said...

So did you dress up Saturday? I'm confused at the Sunday clothes post on Saturday? Anyhow... you all look cute! I love the look on Dalan's face! Good luck with the outnumbered thing. Haha.

brit said...

oh shush yourself up with all that girl power! ha ha, totally kidding. I am very excited for you and somewhat jelouse. (Not enough to try again, though!) Khloe is a beautiful name. Miss your guts!

allegra said...

a baby girl! yay! nothing sweeter. Congratulations!!
that is funny you liked the name Boston. we love that name for a boy too. As far as suggestions on girls names? I like Avery, Quincey, Carly, Faith...that's all I can think of right now. But girls names are so much easier I think. Good luck and congrats again!

allegra said...

Khloe is a cute name too though! like it!

Burke family said...

Yay! Congratulations! We all need to go do some girly shopping together.

Christina said...

Love the name Kloe, esp spelled with a K. But you might have to save that boy name for #4, cause' that's pretty rockin'! :) Congrats on the baby girl, how are you feeling by the way?

Oh, and read your FB, I left you a message.

Amber Lynn said...

ashley said...

CONGRATULATIONS!!! K I did not even know you were expecting! Hey at least you got one boy in there to throw it off! Kayse is way out numbered at our house especially with the chickens and the dog! Love the name and what is funny is Kayse wanted that for Lyla SO bad and it spelled the same way:) I think Macie and Khloe sound so cute together!

Amy said...

Kat said...

Congrats Linds! I am so out of the loop and fall out of the blogging world for awhile! That is so exciting and fun for your girls to have a sister! I have loved Khloe since before we had Mia...it is now the only girl name left that Kaleb and I actually agree on!
