people have been asking if avery gets it. she knows about babies, and is very interested in all the newbabies that she has met over the last few months. after coming home from visiting with ella, she named her doll ella. she also sticks out her stomach and says "i have a baby sister." she likes to kiss my tummy and we try to talk a lot about babies and sisters. all the prep in the world, but until newbaby is here to stay i am not sure she really "gets it" yet.
we have been trying to decide on a name and this time was more difficult than with avery. we knew before we knew she was a girl that she would be Avery Jane. for newbaby, we have it narrowed down to Lily Taylor and Carly Allaire. a few months back we asked avery which name she liked better, lily or carly. she always said "carly." later, james and i decided to go with lily. we started calling her baby lily and in our prayers and night we pray for baby lily. every time i said lily, avery would say, "no, carly."
so here we are.
i started calling her baby carly to see if avery would go back to lily (or as she says "willy") but so far she hasn't. her baby sister is carly.
maybe she knows something we don't.

That is pretty cool! Shelby was the same way with our dog (so not on the same scale, haha!) I wanted Ruby, she insisted on Mary and now of course our dog is named MARY. I love Allaire as a middle name, very cool you can use your maiden!
So excited about newbaby!
I love the name Carly! It was one of my top picks before we decided on Morgan (and any other children to be M names!). I also love that you will use your maiden name, it's so pretty...mine never worked out for that:)
