I am sure all who read this blog know already that Heidi, my good wife, is pregnant with our second and last child. She is due on my Fathers birthday, April 23, 2009. Today was the day that we found out what we are having. My wife and pretty much everyone else but me and dad thought she was having another little boy... She had the name pick out and everything.
Allow me to digress for a moment... When Heidi picks names they are all so so horrid sounding that when she comes up with one that is half normal i have to just say okay. that one is not bad. But then she'll start to combine the name that I okay into one name, figuring that the two names together will be okay as well.
So she picked out ---- ----- -------. (I had the name written out here but she said it was still confidential and could not be revealed.) But it wasn't to bad. Just not normal.
As you can guess we are not having a boy. Heidi is very upset about it, and cannot explain why a girl is so bad. But her and Deegan both just cry when its mentioned.
Back to names, for a girl I have wanted to name her Linnéa. (li-NAY-ə (English)) I have wanted to name our kid this since before we know Deegan was a boy. Well back when Heidi was sure this kid was another son, she never said anything against this name, but now that is will be a girl, Heidi is not so ready to acquiesce.
I went to the ultrasound today with her, and I am glad I went. I was there to hold my sobbing, broken hearted, wife in her time of need. I stayed home for about 45 min longer than I should have to talk to her about it. She really is kind of crushed about it all. I don't know why though.
AND! I think that Linnéa is a super sweet name for a little princess. It is a swedish name. "From the name of a flower, also known as the twinflower. It was named by the Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus, who named it after himself, it being his favourite flower."

That is exciting. I would think Heidi would love having a girl to dress up. It is so fun to go shopping for a girl. Did you know that Rachel's middle name is Lynnae? I love that name. It's unique enough but not weird. Hope Heidi gets over the shock but I really think she will enjoy having a girl. As for Degan? That's different. Jonny can relate having 3 sisters. The last two times I was pregnant we couldn't tell what we were having and he was very disappointed when they were both girls. But he loves playing with Vika. She even plays football with him.
well there you go babe.. we can't name her Linnea since someone else already has it. :) Plus.. I can't figure out how to make the e with the mark over it, so we can't do it.
