Gee, that is a girl's name said Virginia (Gini) from Pet Talk.

THINK PINK EVERYONE.

Wow! Like many others, I thought you were going to tell us you had added a new fur-kid. But this news is even better. But then again I am still on a new grandma high right now. I do love them babies!!! Maybe I can be an adopted grandma since my grandbaby is so far away. Cincinnati is sure a lot closer than Ft. Hood, TX. And I like the idea of a girl baby too. Not that boys aren't nice but little girls are soooo precious. Congratulations - this is really good news and lifts my spirits!

I know human girls with state names. Lina (short for Carolina) had a daughter and named her Dakota. And, of course, know several Virginias, know one Georgia, had an Aunt Floride - you pick whatever you want, Cataholic.

I will just keep you in my prayers that you have a strong, healthy baby, gender notwithstanding.

Middle name Binx? ;) Just kiddin'.

Wow! I am sooo excited! I want belly pics! I love pregnant bellies! :p

Congrats!!!

I'm almost your age (I'm 36) and have no children. I can't imagine the shock and adjustment of a first time baby now. Guess you are in for some major changes.

I hope you get a girl like you want but I'm sure a boy will be great too.:D

Hannah, would go *perfect* with Johanna! :p I like the name Lily though. So *cute*.

Congratulations! :D


Who is the father, Travis? Do we get to know who the expecting daddy is? How long have you two been together, and are you planning on getting married, or are you already married? Details, women!

Jo - I'm so happy this is happy news for you :) I will pray for a little girl, too :)


I love the name Hannah. It is a major contender for my own child's name, since it's my Nanny's last name (different spelling though). Nanny died in 2001, and when I asked Nathan if he liked this name he said "it's definatly on the table" :D

Congrats, Jo!!!

WOW !! What exciting new's, I too was expecting to hear of a new kitty, this is even better a brand new bouncing baby boy or girl, how wonderful, if its any help Johanna I had my daughter when I was nearly 35, and I had nearly an 11 year gap between my children, so it took a bit of getting used to, Don't worry you will be just fine, you may get a little more tired than the younger mum, but hey girl when you see that beautiful baby, it sure is worth every single bit of it.

Take care and get lots of rest. When is baby due exactly? I sure hope you get a little girl too, I have one of each so I am very blessed.

The power of PT should work for you, we will all wish for a baby girl and it will happen won't it?

I love baby girls and baby boys. I just wanted to suggest that if you have a boy, invest in a shield for changing diapers to avoid their squirts, hehe :D

Congratulations Johanna!!! Best wishes for your coming addition:D

Congratulations Johanna!!! I am so happy for you and your family. I know the passing of Binx was hard on you, but the addition to your family is a blessing. I just want to say how happy I am for you and yours.

PS - Binx is looking down and smiling!! :)

Girls squirt too! Trust me!!!

Wow, I'm shocked, but thrilled.) I was expecting puppy, or possibly kitten...

Yes, do keep us informed of updates and details. Who's coordinating the virtual baby shower???

Girl's names? I'm rather sentemental (even if I can't spell) about the old fashioned girl's names: Sarah, or Amanda, or Elizabeth, or Kathryn.... for what it's worth.

Keep your spirits and your feet up and get some practice cuddle time in with a furkid or two.

{{{hugs}}}


I can't resist. *rub*rub*rub* ;) :D :p

Congratulations Johanna!!!!

True, but the boys tend to have better aim. Trust me!

CONGRATS JOHANNA!!! Wow! This sure was a surprise. I was expecting that your new addition was a puppy. :)

aww congrats mommy!!! :D:D

Congratulations!!

Add another shocked, but happy face to the crowd!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! How wonderful that your mom will be able to babysit!

I like the idea of a memorial day baby shower. Sounds like even the mayor would come for that!!! You must rate pretty high :)


And one possible state name that I don't think was mentioned...INDY!!!

Congratulations Johanna!
I’m so happy for you.
Soon you’ll have something like this crawling thru your doggie door.

This is my granddaughter Mackalyn.

I like the name Lily, or Lilyana, Liana.

CONGRATULATIONS JOHANNA

I'm so thrilled for you - take things as easy as you possibly can. A friend of mine who is 39 on Tuesday is expecting her second baby on April 22nd - her first baby was 16 in February!!!
She's found feeling tired the worst thing to contend with - so lots of feets up for you young lady!!
I wouldn't say I'm biased towards girls - but maybe the colour of this will give me away!!
Keep us up to scratch on how things progress baby and Mummy wise - any strange foods you get a yen for are always interesting!
{{{Hugs}}} across the miles to our newest Mummy-to-be!

Lynne

W:eek:W!!!
I'm so happy for you Cataholic!:D
I thought for sure you were going to add another tux kitty to the herd!
Is this the reason that you promised to be good until April 1st?
Are you past morning sickness yet? That is the worst part of pregnancy in my opinion.
Remember to never serve your kitties tuna for breakfast when you have morning sickness, I learned that the hard way.:p
Also make sure that someone else does litterbox duty for you.

Samantha has some advice for your tux herd.
Dear Tuxies,
Enjoy mommy's lap while you can, soon it will disappear completely!
If the baby cries and mommy doesn't hear it make sure and yell at mommy and give her "The Look" complete with airplane ears.
When the baby is big enough to start crawling after you, make sure you have lots of high perches and hidey holes you can run to if needed.
Samantha has survived living with 3 babies over the years and the good news is that babies grow up to give you more love, hugs, pets and treats!:)

Oh, Johanna, I am so happy for you! :D :D Congratulations!:D

{{hugs}} :)

Chris

p.s. I'm thinking pink! :)

Oh Johanna, what wonderful and special news! My heart has really ached for you with all your trials and tribulations, and I'm so happy for you now to hear this news. I know it must not be easy dealing with the effects of pregnancy, but how fun to plan and look forward to that miraculous day!

*hugs* to you, and be SURE to keep us fully updated :D

I had a great aunt named Indiana Markley who was a rum runner during Prohibition.....hmmm....maybe not...;)

Congratulations Johanna!! I wish and prayer for a healthy happy baby( either way) You are in for a changed life and blessed, just remember enjoy even the frustrating times as they grow way to fast.
As to the squirt issue I had one of each it doesn't matter (especally at the doctors office) as to names how about some capitals ,Dallas, Rio ,or Helen (helena)
My kids had unusual names at the time now every one has them, Clarissa and Benjamin.
Read baby name books and choose one that you want you child to be as an adult. If Ben had not been named as he was he may not have lived. I beleive his name made him strong. Clarissa'a made her artsy.

No wonder you've been so quiet here lately;)

Since I've always wanted a little girl too, I'm thinking PINK!

And I agree with Phred and Amy:
