It's a....

GIRL!!!

In honor of girl number 3, I thought I should post in pink :). It seems that we will get to enjoy a lot of that color for a long time to come! We are thrilled, though I must confess it will take some time for it to soak in that we are an all-girl family! That was one of the most exciting things about finding out what this baby is - learning how our family will look (since this is most likely the last little Russell). It seems that the makeup of your family really defines a lot of who you will be as a group, and we will forever be known as the Russell Girls, and Corey :). He doesn't seem to mind too much though, and I promised him that someday we will build a "man room" for him where no pink is allowed, except maybe for a short visit.

The girls are very excited! Emma hugs and kisses my belly even more now and prays constantly for our little girl. Addie doesn't really get it, but I think she likes all the excitement. Now we have the challenge of coming up with a fabulous third girl name so she doesn't feel like she gets the leftovers! I'm open for suggestions - its been fun to hear people's ideas!

I'm so excited for you. I think it's so great that God knows you and Corey so well that He wants to bless you with girls. It's such a blessing that He knows us better than we know ourselves and pickes the perfect children for us. Congrats again and can't wait to meet that sweet baby girl.

Congratulations, Julia! We may end up being an all-boy family - it's funny how some end up with girls and some with boys. :-) I don't have any name suggestions...we were having a hard time with girl names so good thing we didn't have to come up with one!

We are so excited! God must have been so pleased with how you and Corey were raising His girls and decided to give you another one! Bring on more pink. ;)

Congratulations! What exciting news!! One of these days the Russell Girls and the Jones Boys need to get together... maybe after #3 arrives for both of us!

Naomi said...

That is exciting! I am happy for you! I just love having girls and so does Wes. (OK, maybe we could use a little less drama sometimes.) I can't even imagine having a boy. I don't think I would know what to do. I am sure all the sisters will have tons of fun in the years to come.

How fun!

coming from the oldest of FOUR girls- congratulations!!! The girls will love it!!! You will have 3 built in best friends. my name suggestion- Anna Danielle. Anna in honor of D'Ann- Danielle in honor of ME (just kidding!) I want a #4 just bc I am obsessed with the names Caroline & Charlotte. Have fun- the name is the most fun part to me.

congratulations! I hope you guys are doing well. Hudson says hello to Emma.

Kristen said...

Yay!!! So happy for you!

We sure think an all-girl family is awesome! How exciting for you guys! Corey will be the star of the house. David is definitely most loved around here. I'm afraid I'm tapped out with the girl names. We are fond of the ones we have and are more than happy to share :).

Emiley said...

The more the merrier! (and more dramatic I'm sure:) We are thrilled!!! I am still thinking on the name ideas...love you guys!

Monica said...
