Half way there!

Today marks 5 months of being pregnant.  Five more months to go!  Although I'm very excited to meet our little girl, I am thankful I still have five more months to prepare.  I'm not quite ready for another baby especially since Gabe and I finally get to sleep through the night.  (Kieran is finally sleeping through the night in the boy's room!)  It has been SO nice to get a full night's sleep and have alone time with my hubby in the evening.

The boys are very excited for their new sister.  Elias and Aidan are both very aware of what is going on now that I've explained everything to them.  They tell everyone that there is a baby girl in my tummy.  Some of the replys I've gotten when I ask them what they want to name their new sister are, "Policeman Small (a character from a book we read), Kieran, and girl."  Elias asked if we are going to put Kieran back in so the other baby can come out.  It was so cute.  I've been explaining to them that Kieran won't be the baby anymore and we'll have a new baby.  I can't wait for the boys to actually be able to feel their baby sister move.  Her kicks are getting stronger every day but it's still very difficult to feel them from the outside.  Gabe finally felt her move the other day for the first time.

Baby girls names that we are thinking of with Linda as the middle name are:

Gianna - (God is gracious)
Juliette - (youthful)
Felicity - (happiness)
Rosalia  - (rose)

Gianna and Juliette are at the top of our list.  We will probably come up with others now that we can just focus on girl names!
