can you guess what I am?Dear Kate and Riley,
This week Dad and I found out that you will be getting a .... BROTHER! We went in for our 19 week ultrasound and there he was, showing his stuff to anyone who wanted to look, he certainly wasn't shy. So far everything looks good he is nice and healthy. I have had mixed reactions about having a boy next but I think it will be good. I will be so sad to pack away all of the things we bought for you but at the same time I think it will be good to have some separation between you and the new baby. I don't want him to feel like he is a replacement baby and I wouldn't want you to feel that either. It is a weird feeling to know that this baby wouldn't even exist if you hadn't died. A strange mix of emotions. I feel like I want you back so bad but at the same time I already love this new baby so I want him too but I know that it would have been impossible to have both. We are nearing the six month mark since we lost you and I think there will be a lot of emotions next week. It is a scary thing to be pregnant, I get so scared before every appointment because I think that this one might be the one where I get bad news. The doctor is very confident that this baby will get here safely so I am trying hard to have faith.
Watch over your little brother girls. Oh and if you have any name ideas whisper them in my ear at night because your dad and I are stumped!
Love,
Mom

Have any name ideas yet? We're partial to Bible names ie Joshua (or Daniel if our next kiddo is a boy), or other names with family meaning, ie Emma LORENA born in Feb. after grandpa Lorin, or Rebekah RAY for our next girl (my dad's middle name is Ray, after his gpa Raymond). So... search the scriptures and your mutual family trees for something that strikes you as special and with meaning. Or... that just catches your fancy!
