I want to thank everyone who voted in my polls and made suggestions. We ended up going with a name we had not considered before seeing the baby. She was born March 31st, 4 weeks early and we had chosen Amanda Madeline for her name but when we saw he she was just not an Amanda at all. After some debate DH said he wanted to include his Grandma's name in her name(she recently passed away) which is Kathleen(went by Kay), a name I dislike for a few reasons, I agred to use a variation off of Kathleen but felt guilty about the idea of only using his Grandmas name, so we decided to include my grandmas name Lorena(prncd like Lorraina), another name I just don't love the sound of. So, after about a day of creative thinking and debating we came up with Loren Kaylee Russo and it is definately her.

Thank you to everyone,

Gianna and Vincent

Wow, Loren Kaylee is a far jump from Amanda Madeline :o)
Congratulations on your baby girl.
If you have a secret to getting a girl after two boys, let me in on it :o) :o)

Congrats again!

LOL, It is a FAR jump but it truely works for her. You know, we followed the Chinese Gender chart and also Dr. Shettles(I believe) to get a girl. I was SO happy that it worked too :0)

Thanks again,

I've never heard of Dr Shettles but I looked it up and it's really funny. I'll try anything :o) LOL so.... I had intended to use the Chinese Gender Chart but hadn't looked into it. For us to conceive a girl next year, it says to concieve in June, which is when I wanted to start trying. With my luck, as with my last effort, we'll start trying in June but won't actually conceive until July :o) Then I'll get another boy! hehehe

Yeah, Dr. Shettles was funny, DH thought I was crazy too but I wanted a girl SO badly! I was afraid of the same thing, it took us 3 months to conceive our youngest son, so when it worked the first time this time I was so thrilled! Especially when we got the u/s that confirmed it was a girl! Goodluck to you!

LOL well thus far I only have one "recipe".... have sex on Day 14 of my 28-day cycle, and get pregnant. It worked on the second try, lol
I'll definitely try everything I hear works to get a girl next year when we start trying... Luckily, according to the Chinese Gender Chart, if I conceive in June, July, or August of next year , I should receive a girl. We'll see if it works!! :o)

Thank you! Sounds like you have the "recipe" down! DH and I want one more child to complete the family and I would really like another girl, so I am definately going to be following all proven advice, lol. Of course, it's going to be a while before we TTC again.

You have a nice window of opportunity there for a girl, I hope it works for you. We had the same plan for our first two, sex when I was about to ovulate, So I definately say check out all the info, we did things a little differently to get girl and it worked!

Well, DH thought I was a little nutty when I brought this stuff up to him, he doesn't think there's any surefire way to get a girl. Of course, I'm pretty much in agreement with him, I don't think it's up to me or him or any other variable for us to get a girl. But somebody up there might appreciate our efforts, I say! LOL
