Just wanted to share our happy news with all of you -
Mr. V. and I are expecting a baby GIRL this summer!
I'm still a little in shock since I really believed we were going to have another boy. My husband's family is ALL boys so this came as a big surprise! I feel so blessed!
Special thanks to Camille for helping me with this photo! I saw a similar idea on Pinterest once and hoped someday we'd be able to have a baby girl announcement like this - little party shoes and all! I still can't believe it!
Now the hard part - coming up with a name for our lovely little lady!
I'm open to suggestions so if you have some, I'd love to hear them.

Aww! Congratulations! I always love thinking up baby names - we have three boys and one girl and I ALWAYS thought boys names were harder to come up with. Here's a few of my faves but I'm sure you guys will come up with something beautiful...
Eleanor (call her Leni)
Vivian
Hazel
Georgia
Ruby
Stella
Ruth V. says
Oooh I love all of those names!
Jayme H. says
Yay! Congratulations! Our second was a girl.
People have told me so often about how different boys and girls are, I haven't found it to be the case. Each kid is different, of course, but they are so similar.
Again, congratulations!
Sandra Rajo says

CONGRATUALTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As for names....
I'm partial to names that are different...
If I would've had a girl her name would have been Ireland Skye... I loved that name since forever... :0)
Heather Barnes says
Awww, Congratulations!! I love the announcement, so cute 🙂
Kristina P says
Congratulations! Personally, I love your name, Ruth; so another classic name for a little lady would be great! If one of my two middle boys had been a girl, they would have been named after their paternal great grandmothers; Margarette Jeanne and we were planning to call her Maggie. Alas, they were both boys. I had one other daughter eventually, with my 2nd husband, (Savannah is name of oldest - 16) and my husband wanted a Bella so bad... could've been Arabella, Annabella, etc. but there had to be a Bella. Isabella Love is her name. Girls names...so many choices!! Good luck!
Ruth V. says
Thank you Kristina! I was never really fond of Ruth while growing up, but it's grown on me 🙂 I love the name Bella!
Cathy Jarolin says

Love the announcement! Pretty little shoes! I still have my baby girls' first pretty shoes! Congrats to you and your family! I have two girls, Emma and Lucy, both named for our Grandmothers, if we had another she would have been Lilly, but number three was a boy! Very happy for you!
Ruth V. says
Thank you so much! I love the names Emma and Lucy!
Renee Smith says
Congratulations! I have six daughters-no little boys in my house. I will always wonder what it would have been like to have a son, but God had other plans for us. I will tell you my daughters' names. Starting from the oldest to youngest: Elizabeth, EmmaLee, Sierra, Journey, Mia, & Ever. Can't wait to hear what you decide to name your little girl.
Sandy Klocinski says
Congrats! How Exciting! Have fun choosing a name
Nancy C says
Wow! That's great news- congratulations! When we found out we were having a girl 3 years ago, it took us a long time to decide on a name. We chose Aubrey (I've also seen it spelled Aubreigh) but considered Evelyn. It's so fun to have a baby girl to dress up- ENJOY!

Our daughter is Zendalina Delilah..... I wanted a "lina" at the end for a family member who died of cancer. Also a friend I knew named "kenda" Changed the first letter to "Z".... So we call her ZEN". her grandparents call her "Zenda"...................Went to Zenda Kansas a few yrs ago and they invited her back to be the STAR of their Parade! She loves her name!

TylersMommy922 says
Congratulations, such exciting news!!!! I was taking my 4 year old son to preschool this morning, and he out of nowhere tells me he wants a baby sister really bad. Then he asked me if we could go to Walmart after school so he could buy a baby sister. Oh buddy, if only it were that easy, lol. I love the name Gretta or Reese! Best of luck to you and your family!!!
Terri S. says
Congratulations! I love your picture with June calendar and the pretty red girl's shoes.
There are so many beautiful girl names and I'm partial to a very simple name, Jane. Also, love Viola. 🙂
Sherry Compton says
Congratulations....Congrats.....Confetti and cake to you!!! What a happy announcement. Names are hard and important, but you will pick the right one in the end. Elise was my second pick when we were having a girl. Let us know as you continue on the process of choosing and preparing.
Lynn B says
Congratulations!!! I'm a little behind on my blog reading as I'm expecting my own little girl in three weeks! I have a boy who just turned 3 a couple of weeks ago and I'm really excited to have a little girl now too. Some of my favorite names that hubby was less fond of 🙁 are Violet, Daphne and Madeleine.
