Sugar & Spice & Everything Nice!

IT"S a GIRL!

We found out yesterday that #3 will be a girl! We are pretty excited. I am looking forward to getting Marley's old clothes out and seeing what I can still use!

Marley is really excited. She wanted Jack to be a girl. She even cried at his ultrasound when she found out he was a boy. She was much happier this time around.

The name we have picked out (for now) is ....

CALLIOPE RAE WILLIAMS

(Ca-lie-o-pee nickname Callie) --- Rae after Mac's grandpa Raymond Buckner

Most people have an vocal opinion about this name choice, but for now the only thing that will change is the middle name. I think having a girl named after the muse of epic poetry, the music maker on a riverboat & at Disneyland, and my favorite Mardi Gras parade (Muses) is very fitting. She won't know anything about New Orleans, but at least she will be connected to it in some way!

Only 3 months and 22 days to go!

Mickelle,

I love the name, and I think it's rad that y'all are choosing names that have such nice stories behind them. And I swear I'm gonna call her "Ope!"

I need to get on the bandwagon with a good nickname for Jack..."Braveheart" has too many syllables.

love,
Susanna

P.S. I hope you're feeling alright.

Yay for little girls! I can't believe y'all already have a name picked out. We are always slackers in that department. Do you watch Grey's Anatomy? That's a character's name on there. Best wishes for your last 3 months!
