It's a................

GIRL!!!!


We had our 3D ultrasound today and got some good pictures and some very good looks at many different angles to double/triple/quadruple check that she really IS a girl. Maddison played a trick on me at one point (well, actually the ultrasound tech just wasn't the best...), so she is definitely a girl. The whole last week Ive been saying its a girl, so has Marc, and even Maddison decided she wanted a sister after she found out boys can't wear dresses with her! =) So I am very excited to start a new search for girl stuff. At first I was very set on it being a boy, I had bedding picked out and I knew exactly what I would do with his room. Now, I get to start fresh! I am a little relieved, I must say! Boys are just...not my thing! I know nothing about them, and they are just too roudy and loud for me. Plus, I am so used ot my little cautious queen, I think a dare-devil boy might give me a heart attack! Maybe next time...if there is a next time!!

As far as names for a girl, we are thinking (so far...like I said, we were set on a boy until a week ago I just had a feeling it was a girl so we havent put as much thought into girl names as we had boy names):

Top Contenders:

Cylie (Kylie)

Rylee

Makena

At one point Mackenzie was on this list also...not so sure anymore.

Names I LOVE but are afraid to get negative feedback about:

Aspen

Blake

Blair

Denver (Yes, even for a girl...I don't know whats up with the Colorado cities...don't ask.)

Kennedy

Rylee is sort of on this list too!

Prescott (Strange, maybe! But I think it's cute!)

...as of now that is all I can remember.

If she had been a boy our names were:

Mason Montgomery

Easton Montgomery

and TODAY on the way I came up with the greatest of them all which we just might use for the next (if it's a boy)....

COHEN! Yes, I did watch 2 episodes of The O.C this morning when I was up at 4am, and I'm glad I did, my special love for Seth (it's a special kind of special....like a "I wish he was my best friend/brother" kind of special) brought me to this name because as you ALL know, Summer always referred to Seth as simply, "Cohen". "He's Cohen" was her explaination for his many quirks. So Cohen Michael Strick would have been our boy, but we always have next time...maybe! =)
