He has made everything beautiful in his time; also
he hath set the world in their hearts... ~Ecc. 3:11
Ben and I came to an arrangement on the name. We could not agree on the same name for either gender. I really had my heart set on Tess for a girl and he really wanted John for a boy. So I suggested that if it is a girl, I get to name her Tess and if it is a boy he would get to name him John and he agreed.
So come on or around Oct. 24 this is what our family will look like:
If you can't read the cards well the name is Tess. We found out today that we are having a girl and while any healthy baby was a welcome addition to our family we couldn't be more thrilled that Jena is going to have a sister! We will name her Tess Lucille after my grandmother. It makes me so happy to have the chance to honor her this way.
***A little background on these cards...I found them at a little shop on River St. in Savannah when I was just there. Usually I see stuff like this and barely even glance because they never have our kids names, not all of them anyway. When I happened upon "Jena" and it was spelled the same way we spell our Jena's name I knew it was worth the effort to try and find all our names. And I did. I just love these cards and plan to frame them and hang them up in our new living room once the addition is finished.
I am so thrilled for you guys!! So happy Jena will have a sister to play dress up, have tea parties and play babies with! I look at my 3 girls and they are so big now, but still love to play together just as much as before. I am just thrilled!! Congrats. :)
