It's a ....

I don't know what I was thinking. I am not a surprise person and I should just come to terms with that. I was laying on the ultrasound table after giving the cute little note card to the tech, only to beg her to tell me what it was. So....another little girl will be joining our family in May. I guess my senses were off this time around. Not sure they were senses per say, but more or less trusting in the old wives tales. My pregnancy has been so different that I thought it just could not be a sweet and innocent girl. Boy was I wrong. Hopefully, my experience thus far isn't a predictor of things to come. I called Chris who decided he rather know now vs. in a few days, so I guess we are two of a kind. We are back to the drawing board with names. We just can't seem to agree on anything, so luckily we have 20 more weeks to brainstorm and hopefully this kiddo won't come home with the name Baby Boynton. Although a bit surprised, we are very excited that our little darlings will have each other. It is my hope they will be the very best of friends. I, personally, can't imagine having a brother when I have three of the greatest sisters/best friends a person could ask for. I wish my daughters the same kind of lasting friendship that only sisters can develop.

YAY!! I am thrilled for another niece. This time maybe all Ava's clothes will fit her perfectly since they will be born around the same time. I am glad you couldn't hold it in since I really hate surprises! I can't wait to meet Cinderella, Fiona or Jasmine (all Ava's ideas for names).

Hmmm...at least Chris has one supporter of Fiona. I, personally, thought he was crazy!! He actually suggested Jasmine this morning. He and Ava are definitely on the same page..if only he and I could get there!

Congratulations on another little girl!! How fun for Claire! Abby probably lucked out getting a little bro. since she is such a tom-boy. I'll try to think of a couple of names for you to help the process along.....

Yeah!!! Another little girl! As for little girl names - I'm with Ava, I like Cinderella.

Since Chris and Claire both begin with C's what about a K or C name like Kathryn, Carolyn, Courtney, Carolyn, or Kayleigh.

Although all were good ideas, we are not necessarily looking for a K or C name. I just can't seem to find anything that Chris likes. I will win this battle!

So its a battle huh??? Well - I wish YOU victory in the battle. I'm not sure Fiona is the way to go, sorry Ava and Chris. But, do you really want your kid having to deal with the teasing of being named after Shrek's wife???

well i heard the names that are all the rage in the name world are the boys names that can also function for girls names, like shane.

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really

Progress

I used to be prompt about scrapbooking in Claire's album. After seeing my sister's pictures piled up three children later, I was determined not to have the same fate. I am sure it is difficult for some of you to believe, but since Claire has been born, my free time has been limited. Really, it has. So, our pictures are finding their way into piles too--5 to be exact. However, I am thrilled to say that I finished (ok, they aren't completely finished, but nearly. I only have journaling to do.) six pages. Yes, that's right, I said SIX!! It was a major accomplishment. Here they are for your viewing pleasure. Only 5 more months left to get through....any volunteers? Jessica???

Claire, Mya and the NEWS

Chris and I had this elaborate plan on how we were going to share the news with our girls. I ordered adorable shirts, which took forever to get here. They were supposed to ship Oct. 4, but didn't. I am not a patient soul at all. I love to share good news and spread the excitement. We went to a German doctor last week for a gender reveal ultrasound. He was 99% certain of his selection. Claire and I began looking at clothes online. She asked questions about why we were looking at baby clothing, but thankfully, my sister has a little guy and a baby girl who is due in December. They are my perfect excuses for all things baby! Claire asked nothing more and began pointing out things we should buy Jackson or the new baby girl. Our weekends typically involve partaking in a local event or just relaxing, which means a trip to the KMCC Mall. Saturday we went shopping or at least looking. Once again, the girls became excited, choosing items for Jackson or the new baby girl. I decided I cou
