jeremy and i felt strongly that baby #3 was a girl, just because we've already made two beautiful girls. we set up a "gender check" ultrasound through jordan river ob at 16 weeks. though we were both extremely excited to find out the sex of our baby, we (okay, mostly i) wanted to find out with the girls. we had the ultrasound technician put the results in an envelope and i gave the envelope to zurchers to fill with the "right color balloons" the next day. the girls and i patiently waited all day for daddy to come home and aunt collette to come take pictures and grandma to cheer with grandpa on facetime. looking back, i'm still so impressed with myself for not peeking and for being so calm with such an exciting surprise. we opened the box and out came three pink balloons and all i could think was I KNEW IT and whew! jer and i would have been floored. shocked. speechless if the baby was a boy-- we were convinced she was a she!! (and we were right!)
we had to iron out some wrinkles before we decided on her name-- evelyn eve. jer has loved the name 'evelyn' for a long time and didn't really want to explore any other names. i love it as well, and adored the fact that he felt so strongly about naming his own child. 'eve' is after me. it's simple and special and sacred, and i love that it flows so nicely with evelyn.
love my growing little family and all three of my little girls!
