I think we pretty much got the best news ever on Saturday. We're expecting a little GIRL! That's proof that 1) Shettles may be on to something, and 2) I have no maternal gut instinct whatsoever. Was totally convinced we were having a boy. It's amazing how much more I'm enjoying this pregnancy now that I know! I love saying "she" when I talk about her. It gives me this warm and fuzzy feeling. I guess I just feel incredibly blessed to get one of each. My little boy is just about the coolest kid around. And now he gets to have a baby sister. I wonder if he knows it's going to be his job to beat up boys who look at his sister the wrong way, so his daddy doesn't get arrested for doing it... Ah, well. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it... ;)
There's another reason I'm excited about having a little girl: her name. We're going to name her Neva (pronounced NEE-vuh) Katherine. Neva is my grandma's name, and I've been really looking forward to giving her a namesake. I also like that I've never met a Neva besides Grandmama, and that my son sounds super cute when he's tries to say it.
Basically, I'm on cloud 9 right now. That's all there is to it.

Congratulations! It is so nice when you get the boy or girl that you are wanting. We were so wanting another boy and are so excited that's what we got. And I love the name you picked out.
Shannon, so exciting about your little girl! I know you must be thrilled because I am super pumped about having a baby boy. Got your blog site off babycenter. Can't wait to keep reading!

Hi,
I am having a girl in August 3, and I want name her Neva, too. We are from Turkey and we have a Turkish name "Neva", too. It also has many meanings in different languages. It is super cool!
