a little brother

According to an ultrasound performed yesterday, Julia can expect a brother in May. Jonny and I are thrilled, and a little nervous, since all we know is little girls! (One little girl, to be more accurate.) Now, to figure out the right name. Boys are tough. I had a girl one all ready to go (Lucy) but we haven't pinned down a boy name and probably won't for some time. In the meantime, we'll see if we can't get a little blue going on around here. Julia's pink and green nursey probably won't cut it for this little guy.

Ahh!! I had a dream you were having a boy! Did you get my text? How exciting. Can't wait to meet HIM. :)

Emily said...

That will be one CUTE little boy. I can't wait to meet him this summer!

Hannah said...

Cute! I love little boys. I felt the same way after they told me my 2nd would be a boy. But in many MANY ways...boys are easier. Congrats!

Unknown said...

congrats! Mattie thinks you should name him Uncle Matt so Julia will start liking the real uncle Matt.

Congratulations! I was a little unsure about having an actual boy inside my body when I was pregnant with Cade, not to mention raising one, but get excited--they're so much fun! Good luck with the name, I agree, boy names are hard!

Congrats Melody!! Its a toughie to think out a name for a boy. I always loved the name Jonathan, but Jon always told me he didn't like the full name. I don't know what he thinks about that now...

We look forward to come out and visit you guys again later this year so that we can meet your new baby. :)
We love you Melody, Jon, and Julia. We're excited for you.

Congrats on the boy news! We felt the boy vibe ever since you told us you were expecting!

Drew said...

Lucy is a cute name. But, as per Jonny's announcement text, I do believe you said that Julia's going to have a little BOTHER, and knowing Julia, having a new baby around is actually going to be a BIG bother, HA. I think Little Bother may need to be his new nickname already. I was getting the "boy" vibe too. I predict he shall have dark, curly hair and prominent ears.

Hurrah for balancing out the gender wars of my nieces and nephews!

That's so exciting! Congratulations! I can't wait to see Julia and him together, that will be so precious.
Good luck deciding a name.

Kassi said...

How fun! That will be a change! We have the same dilemma as you with names. Keep us updated on the names you are thinking about, it is fun for me. Thanks for letting us know. So fun!

CONGRATS

Unknown said...

That is so fun! I'm sure you will come up with a cute name soon enough! congrats!

Cami said...

CONGRATS!!!!! I screamed when I saw your text message. AWESOME times. Maybe it will be a little Melody this time. :)

Cami said...

Oh, and I didn't change the nursery for Janey-pie. Still Navy Blue. But I guess pink is a little less forgiving . . .

Kristy said...

Congratulations! Boys are super fun!

Jill said...

Congrats guys! I also concur with the fact that boy names are much harder than girl names...I guess I need to start saving all of Jack's cute hand-me-downs for you guys!

p.s. I would like to see a picture of your little boy belly please.

Laura said...

Hey congrats! That's the same reason i'm nervous to have a boy. maybe we can swap advice. We're having the same problem with the boy names...
When is your due date again? may 30th?

stacia said...

Tyler and Sunni said...

Melody, I am so excited for you! I'm having a little boy in March so we'll have to learn all about boys together since I don't know anything about them. Thank goodness I have a husband who knows a little more. Your little girl is adorable.
