Dear Baby Girl,

A name is a big deal. People will call you by your name for a long time. So I thought I'd write you a quick little letter and explain why your mommy and I chose your name. We specially chose it just for you. We've been keeping it a secret for a long time, but recently your mommy and I decided to tell everyone. It is a really special name to us and there is no doubt in my mind that it is perfect for you! Are you ready to hear it? Are you sure?

Dear Baby,

Today I found out something really special.  For years I've been dreaming about you.  For months I knew you were coming.  But only for a few moments have I known that you are a girl.  Your mom and I just went to the doctor's office and found out that you are a girl!  I can already see the doll houses full of dolls, the pink iPhone cover that matches mommy's, and the gun rack in my car.
