It's a...

[tribute17]

Girl!!!

What am I supposed to do with a girl? It's funny because I AM a girl but I have two boys. How are they different? I know I will figure it out but I just assumed it would be another boy. Also there are no chromosomal abnormalities so that is great news!

We already had a boys name, but no girls. What goes well with Patrick and William? We were going to go with Catherine but we called the baby we lost Catherine so we just can't do it.

[starfishy]

Yeah! Congratulations!!! How very awesome. It's been awesome having a boy and a girl. Not much difference yet.

I do like Catherine, but understand your hesitation. Elizabeth was the other option for Josie and it goes great with William and Patrick.

[somethingcleverer]

Congrats!!! You will do great with a girl. They are so much fun to dress when they are tiny😊. As far as differences when they are babies girls just have more creases to clean during diaper changes.

Names I'm so bad at sibsets. I'm in love with the name Maeve but I think classic names like Rebecca, Sarah, or Rachel would be good. I also really like Megan and Gretchen.

Congrats again! I'm so excited for you!

[laurski81]

Congrats! Having one of both it's not that different to be honest. Both are crazy but it is much more fun dressing Cece. I also love the name Megan or Charlotte.

[summergirl1211]

Congratulations! I'm so excited everything looks good tribute17. And I'm sure you'll figure things out just fine. I've always heard girls are easier than boys until the teenage years hit.

[traceyt07]

Congratulations! I'm so glad you got good, healthy news. I love classic names too- Charlotte, Anna, Margaret (nn Maggie)

[starfishy]

I like Margaret with those boys names too.

[jennmm]

Congrats!

[nursedesi]

Congrats! I have the exact same reasons for wanting another boy! It will be fine tho. I'm so happy for you!

[vanessalc]

Congratulations!

[trixi282]

Yay! Congratulations!

Girls are a lot of fun too (says the mom of two girls....) I'm sure you'll find the perfect name, you have time. Something classic just like Patrick and William will find it's way to you.

Josephine (I'm partial to this name, haha)
Elizabeth
Meredith
Margery
Margaret
Adeline

So many classic names are coming back!

It's true, Margaret is the best name.

Congrats!! The big difference so far is girls are harder to wipe than boys, I think.

Name wise:

Margaret
Charlotte
Jane
Elizabeth
Victoria
Anne
Beatrice
Helena
Eleanor
Sybil
Agnes
Edith
Thisbe (a little more out there but I love this name)

[mrsrek10]

Congrats!!!

Naming a kid is hard!

[tribute17]

Margaret is in my list but we will see if H goes for it. I like Elizabeth but there are too many in the family already. I really like Rose lately but again we will see. I honestly have no idea what kinds of names H likes.

[mightybee]

Congratulations! Girls are fun.

Rose is beautiful.

[cbear]

Congrats!! Girls are so fun! I think and older fashioned name would go great with them!

Lucy
Hazel
Claire

[britbratjf]

Congrats!!

Alice is a really pretty name which would go with William and Patrick I think.

[roo1582]

Congrats!

From my perspective, I've found boys are a little crazier in terms of being more adventurous, fearless. With girls they are crazier in general (ha!). Girls seem to be able to create a lot of drama.

[tribute17]

I'm a little worried about the drama. My sister and Hs sister are huge drama but I'm not. So I'm hoping she turns out like me instead. I'm pretty great.

[babywinks]

As a mom with one of each, girls can be pretty awesome too! Abby is still adventurous and wants to play on everything at the playground and get dirty and such, just a little less rowdy and more imaginative and creative.

I think almost all classic/traditional girls names will work pretty well with William and Patrick. I like Sophia and Olivia

Anna's middle name is Rose. Love it!

[mrsplaydoh]

Congrats!!! So fun!!! Good luck finding a name!

[bliz1712]

Congrats!! Obviously I only have experience with girls, but they are pretty cool. We are at the talk back attitude stage big time with V and almost a teenager, but otherwise girls are relatively easy. For my 3 they are just really whiney if that makes sense. The littlest thing will set off a crying fit, where sometimes I think for a boy that might not happen. Could just be girl emotions, IDK.

Anyway, I could ship you one of my 3, preferably the 12 year old, and you could get a test run of what to expect.

[tribute17]

bliz1712 thanks for the offer but I think I will just live in ignorant bliss for a while longer. I taught high school so I know how bad the girls can be. But there are lots of sweet ones too.

I'm hoping at least she is a better sleeper than William. Still has only slept through the night twice. She has to be better than that.

[mommymadness]

Congrats!! That is super exciting! Abigail? What about Kathleen, Carolyn, or Katie?

[MissMusic]

Hooray, a girl! Congrats! I had the same reaction you did when I found out that L was a girl, but it works out

[USCgirl]

Congrats! If your kids are anything like mine, your girl will be super easy! My little guy is SO much needier and was super colicky for the first few months. Girls are so much more relaxed as babies, BUT as toddlers and probably again as teenagers...lets just say the drama is intense! Having both sexes is definitely fun though and a true blessing. Happy to hear everything is fine too!
