Baby Names

Okay, since you asked... our names we're considering are Eliza Ruth (sorry, J & R, but we have the same grandmother) and Thomas Spencer (again, sorry to all my other brothers, but Spencer shares a name with President Monson). I never thought I'd ever have more than one girl, considering the track record in our whole extended family, but I've been blessed with two daughters so far. Is it too much to hope for a third? It seems that the likelihood is small--just look at our ratio so far. We have one girl for every three boys. If we had another girl, it would increase to one girl for every two boys. Also, our pattern up to now calls for a girl. Girl, boy, boy, boy, girl, boy, boy, boy. On the other hand, nine is an odd number, so who says it has to follow a pattern? Either way, it will be fun to have a newborn again. I think Ethan will be perfectly happy to hand over his role as youngest, especially since he loves babies so much.
