Tyler and I decided what our girl's name is going to be. We just haven't sat down and figured out how we're going to spell it yet.
Any preferences??

We have a list of a bunch of girl names that we like and agree on, but before I was pregnant...maybe before we were married... I told him I like the name Danika and our first girl should be named that. He agreed as long as the middle name was Tjej.
He was serious.
And I agreed.

Tjej is how you say girl in Sweden (where Tyler served his mission) and is pronounced like Shay. We were going to spell it the Swedish way and thought it was kind of neat. (Hey, it was just going to be a middle name anyway.)
Then we spelled it out on paper. Um, not so much.

It's so fun to plan for our baby. I think especially since it's a girl! The day we found out, I had to go out and buy an outfit. I got a dress and a onesie for $5 total!!

Well, still no pictures. I'm usually gone all day and so is Tyler. Typically by the time I think about taking a picture at night, I'm already in my PJ's and Tyler's working on homework. I do have a 4 day weekend starting today so I guess I don't really have an excuse.

The baby's kicking a lot and I think I'm getting a feel for her sleeping patterns too. It's so exciting. I am getting bigger and my regular clothes that I thought I could wear as maternity clothes, because of their style, aren't fitting like I thought they would. Guess I better go shopping soon.
Oh darn!

  2. I love the name Danika! My niece is named that and it is such a sweet name. I like the spelling with a K.
    I can't believe you already know what you want to name her. Brock was a few hours old before we could agree on anything!

  9. I like second way of spelling the middle name, but both ways are cute! And I like both ways of spelling the first name. I guess that's not very helpful. Wish we'd thought about it more diligently with Rylie, we couldn't decide on her name until the right before we went home, she was almost 2 days old!

  13. Hey Emily, so I want to change up how our blog looks, but I don't really know how to. Do you use a program or something to make your template? Any help you can give would be appreciated. Thanks!
