***Warning...Dad DON'T read this***
You all might be wonderfing about the WARNING...that is because my dad doesn't want to know the sex of Peanut Smith until we have the baby!! He thinks that waiting to find out is one of the best surprises that God gives someone and he really wants to be surprised!! That being said my whole family is going to try their best to keep it a secret. Which means that a lot of my posts will be still referring to Peanut Smith and trying not to give it away. I do think waiting til delivery would be a fun surprise but Matt and I just could not wait...we would have never lasted!!
It's a GIRL!!!! We found out yesterday that little Peanut Smith is a GIRL!!! We are thrilled and we cannot wait to welcome Madelynn Frances into our family in early May!!
What's in a name you might be asking.....well I have always called Matt by the nickname Matty and we thought it was a cute name so we thought we could call our child Maddie but what would her real name be. We decided on Madelynn because we both love it so much. Her middle name, Francis, was the name of my maternal grandmother who I called Granny. At the time she passed away I was her only grandchild and we had a very special bond. The simplest and smallest things were the most fun with her. She passed away from Hodgkin's Disease when I was in the 5th grade and was never able to see me graduate from High school, graduate from Auburn, get married, or even be here for the birth of my first child. I know that she is looking down and she is proud of who I am and who I married. I cannot think of a more perfect middle name for my little girl than Francis!!! I grew up knowing how much my Granny loved me and how proud of me she was!! I hope and pray that I can make Madelynn feel that same way each and every day!!
