Yes, it's another girl! We are all very excited that we will be adding our third sweet girl to our family in early November. Yes, that's her bum--clearly showing that she is a girl. We were so comforted by the ultrasound which revealed a healthy baby with all of her parts. When the nurse had listened for her heartbeat before the ultrasound she could not find it; and, the 3-4 minutes it took her to find the baby felt like an eternity. Dr. Ferguson said the baby looks great and I continue to measure on track for early November. We are so grateful to God for another beautiful blessing-- now if He would just write her name on the wall for us. We are very picky with girl names and always struggle making a list of suitable options. Though we have had a boy name since we were first married, I don't have a clue what we will name Baby Girl. So, we will accept your suggestions (both humorous and serious). Our dear friend Tim was the clear winner when we were contemplating names for Madeline. He gave us suggestions such as, Tiomthena Alana Brooks, Medussa Hester Brooks, Xena She-ra Batgirl Brooks, and the creative Biblical option-- Meggido Laodicia.
While we don't have anything we really need to purchase, we will spend the next few months fixing up Baby Girl's room, preparing the girls for a baby, and of course coming up with a name. We continue to praise God for His goodness and pray for a healthy baby, mommy, and delivery.

Yeah! I'm so excited to have a 5th neice. Good luck with the name. I definitely think girl names are harder. If you pick a name that starts with an A, then the girls innitials can spell HAM. Well that'smy suggestion. So glad she is healthy.

Told ya.

Yay! I'm so excited for you guys, and it's great that your well stocked in the pinks :) I love love love baby names(esp. girls!), and while I won't give ours away(its starts with an A by the way), here are a few of my favorites for you and Jonathan:
More "normal":
Abigail, Ava, Annaleigh, Bethany, Caroline, Emma, Eden, Mackenzie, Samantha
More unusual(but not quite crazy as Tim's!):
Emmaline, Hadley, Story, Maise(proncouced like Daisy) & Lacey
Congrats again! I so excited for your growing family, and can't wait to hear what you finally decide on :)
Congratulations!! I hope she and Randall can have a play date sometime this Fall...they can stare at each other! Ha! Love and miss you all!
Congrats, Brooks fam! We have a whole slew of beautiful girl names that went unused, since Ella J was not a twin (or triplet or ...)
here are a few:
Abby Claire (together or separate)
Addison
Miriam
Ruthie (because the little girl on the show 7th Heaven was such a cutie, I'll always associate that name with her)
I also like Bethany & Caroline
Carolina (you guys did meet at USC ... & then there are those TarHeels)
I think the problem with girl names are there are too many beautiful, special names ... have fun finding hers!
Praising God that baby girl Brooks is healthy. Here's my list in no specific order:
Rebecca
Ruth
Johanna
Sarai
Angela mentioned a girl's name the other night, but for the life of me I can't remember what it was.
Hooray! What a blessing for each girl to have two sisters!
I see it's been mentioned twice already, but if Whitt had been a girl he was going to be Ruth and we were going to call him Ruthie. Love that name! I also love Sally, which I learned is a nickname for Sarah.
We have the opposite problem with names: girl names seemed to be pretty easy but the boy names were impossible. Tom is so picky about them!
YEAH! It is a girl! Yes a girl name is harder to pick!
Irene
Natalie
Elizabeth
Pyllis
Noel
Joy
Hope
Faith
and many more
I can't wait to see her when she comes!

Brilliant idea! I was also thinking that you could go with Disney Princess names-much to Hannah's delight :) Like Bell, Aurora, Cinderella, Alice...
Congrats on girl number three! I thought for sure it would be a boy, though. I mean, how many more girls can we (on the Brown side of the family) possibly have? I don't have any girl names for you. Given that Mike and I also only produce girls, I should probably hold on to any I've thought about. Hahaha, of course I'm kidding. Good luck naming her. I know it (and she) will be beautiful! Congrats again! What a blessing.
Well, my guess was wrong, but I told you...you guys make beautiful girls...I guess God wanted another beautiful girl to love! Congratulations! We have a hard time with names too, Steven always has one in mind, but I draw blanks!
Yay! I was the middle of three girls.... my poor dad dragging us to see Kitty Hawk NC was my favorite family vacation! hahaha! But we sure did have some fun dressing each other up, talking about boyfriends, and sitting in the bathroom late at night in high school!!! :) So much fun! Congratulations - so happy for y'all!
Delaney's suggestions for girl names:
1) Fiona
2) Eilidh (A pretty Scottish name pronounced Ay-lee)
3) Emma
4) Ceilidh (A name for a Scottish dance, pronounced Kay-lee)
5) Iona
Thanks for listening, she was just full of ideas. Can you tell she knows a lot of Scottish girls?

keep an eye out for the writing on the wall... it could be that the Lord is speaking through your children and in crayons... at least that's the case at my house. i'm reading a book called When the Writing on the Wall is in Brown Crayon. enjoy another sweet girl. so excited for you. will hopefully get to the post office soon and mail the bathing suit. but you'll already be in florida! i'm a terrible mailer of things! (ask jeanna) hope your trip goes well and you enjoy family time.-laura
