Billy and I find out if we're having a boy or girl on Thursday! We cannot wait. This will be a new experience for us since we didn't find out with Max. Another thing that is foreign to us...not being 100% set on the baby's name way in advance. We knew our first boy would be named Max McAlister before we were even married. For years we would point out restaurants and places that had the name "Max" in them and I'd get a little butterfly in my stomach hoping that one day I would meet this little Max of ours. The name just came to us one afternoon when we were talking about our imaginary kids and when the doctor handed us our little boy 9 years later we didn't even have to discuss any others. Our girl name was much the same, but came to us later. I honestly don't have as vivid of a memory of that discussion as I do for Max, but Emelia Lou was going to be the name if he had been a girl. No question.
I don't know why this time it's been a bit more difficult for us. We're definitely set on the first name for a boy, but I've been struggling with the middle name. The girl name is the one that is really stumping me. I still love Emelia, but a few others have been swimming around in my head lately too. I know I may regret putting this out there but I thought it would be interesting. So let us know what name you think is best for Baby Murray!
Disclaimer: Billy and I still will have the last say no matter what the poll results are! :)
The Murray Family
- the Murrays
- We were hitched in August of 2005 and spent the majority of our early years as a married couple traveling, enjoying our careers and each other. Then, one day, there was a quietness in the house that neither of us had noticed before. Something was missing... Our little mister named Max was born in February of 2010 and brightened our days. Just as we were getting comfortable in our new roles as parents, we learned that we had a surprise baby on the way! Sullivan Michael was born in August of 2011. We added another sweet little boy, Fletcher William, in November 2013. And yet another darling, Milo Byron, in September 2015. Perhaps we're crazy, but we're open to a couple more kiddos if that happens to be in the cards for our family. Clearly we like to live on the edge. Of our sanity. :) My greatest hope for this little blog is that our children will read it when they're older and it will help them understand the depth of our love for them.
