Sunday Salon (March recap)

The hubby and I are having a quiet day at home trying to get better. We both have colds so we haven't done much of anything today. I was quite jealous hearing about the bbq and egg hunting happening at my parents' today. Both sister's families there and us here on our own. This is why the minute we found out we were having a baby we decided it was time to move back to CA. 



I had my 16 week appointment on Monday and the doctor did a sonogram to check gender and do some measurements. There were no dangly bits! I am excited. It's funny. I always thought I would want a boy but I am actually really thrilled about having a girl. Now we must think of some girl names.

The list of names we are considering:

Emma
Madeline
Olivia
Violet
Sydney

There are some literary names in there and one family name. Three are from children's books.  
What other names from literature should we be considering?

    Oh Mari, congrats so much! I think you have wonderful names on your baby names list :-)

    So you're planning to move. Before or after the baby is born?

    Love, Kathrin

    The possibilities you've chosen are lovely!

    I had a student named Atticus and he was the nicest boy! Harper? Scout?

    Congratulations! The Girl was almost named Emma. And I tell hubby if we ever have another baby and it's a girl, her name is either Olivia or Veronica. I like uncommon but not outlandish names.
