Guess What....

Well you probably can't guess, so I'll just tell you; I now have seven brothers. My newest brother was born last night and weighed 9pd-2oz. We haven't thought of a name yet . (any ideas? ) Sorry none of you are getting cigars.

Congratulations to you and your whole family! Babies are so cute :D

Actually...lol...maybe I shouldn't say this, but I will. The whole Downes family is cute :D (I mean it!! Don't punch me next time you see me!)

I like the name Liam, but i m strange. (Ben, don't ruin the name by telling them... don't... don't i say...)so yeah, i really like the name Liam. It is celtic/gaelic and means determined guardian. i kind of like nathaniel too, its hebrew and means gift from God. (my middle name is Grace, so i m bias toward other gifts from the G-man)

Holy Cow, Jennifer can you read minds? We are actaully thinking about naming him Liam!! I am completely shocked!! WOW

Tom said...

If you name him Liam, make sure to have him be in track and cross country. He will be a good runner.

Sarah said...

Well we didn't name him Liam, we named him Alexander Jerome. Or rather my parents named him that..none of us kids are a big fan of the name, but oh well. It's not our kid so we don't get to name him.

Marnee said...

Wow Sarah, you must have named him shortly after you called. Or maybe you called a long time ago, I don't remember. Alexander Jerome...will you guys be calling him Alex? Somehow that seems weird. But the whole name together isn't bad. Most new names take some getting used to anyway. I almost think Jerome would fit a little baby better than Alexander...but I was thinking of naming one of my kids Constantine, and that's worse :) (I probbaly won't though, John hates it).
Anyway, congratulations! Has your mom come home yet? Have fun at Joanie's dance, even though you won't read this till after that!

i have been thinking Constantine is a good name.. but a middle name. and Constance is a good middle name for a girl... not a first name becuase i hate the name connie. PS- jerome is not a good first name for n e 1, baby or otherwise. (but thats just my opinion) alex is a good name. it has an ancient but modern quality.

Sarah said...

Yeah we'll be calling him alex. And Marnee DO NOT EVER name your kid constantine, ever!

Jenn said...

btw... pounds are lb arent they? (i'm annoying aren't i? haha)

Sarah said...

Yeah, yeah, yeah...whatever, I'm bad with stuff like that, if I can't remember what the shortened form of something is, I make it up. I knew that was wrong, but I was in a hurry, so you people must learn to deal with my bad language skills. Speling in all that junc has al ways ben my worstest subject, besides math.

Marnee said...

I like Constance too, but also, not connie. It's tricky to find names for kids that are not only ones you like, but also ones that don't have any nicknames you don't like. oh well, we have a while.:)
