I feel like I just won the LOTTO!

It's a girl! YEA! Can you believe it? I told Brian this morning that I was confident that it was a girl so when the u/s tech said that it's definitely a girl, my heart about skipped a beat! It's just perfect - 2 boys that are best friends and now Kaitlin will have her best friend, a sister. YEA!!!!!

The name will be Carli Jane. CJ as Brian will call her, Carli as I will call her. And the reason that it's an "i" is because Brian said that there are no "Y's" in our kids names (you get the inuendo if you know Brian at all)... She will be named after my mom - her name is Carol but her nickname has been Carly for years by all of her nieces and nephews.

And so it goes... I'm going to be getting rid of ALL of the baby boy clothes have been filling our storage room for years. I can't WAIT!!!! If anyone is in need of any clothes, let me know! Everything 2T and under is going to be passed down! Maybe I'll go get started! ;)

Congrats! But don't get rid of the boy clothes too fast, you may want to keep them for #5? ;) Giving you a hard time!

So excited for you. Emma likes to call herself CJ sometimes, too (because she has two middle names, Claire and Jiayan).

That is so exciting. How perfect is that. I can't believe you are that far along. But, of course, I'm not the one pregnant.

Congrats on the girl! After having Ella, I can't conceive of having TWO girls! She will be just as cute as Kaitlin! Is Kaitlin excited about having a little sister?

Hurray for girls!! I'm so excited for you. But how will Dora feel about being trumped by an actual sister, hmmm?

So about those boy clothes... can you give me a little rundown of what sizes you have in which seasons? I thought I was totally set for Jack since we had a TON of clothes for Spencer and they were born in the same season. Um, no. At the rate Jack is growing, he'll be ready for Spencer's summer stuff smack in the middle of winter.
