Dear Diary,
Today the doctor told me that I am pregnant with a baby [gender]. [his name] and I couldn't be more excited to be parents. As soon as he gets home from work, he is taking me out the diner on 7th street to celebrate.
I already know what I will name our little [gender], I've known since I was just a child what I'd like my first child to be called. [he/she] will be [name]. [select the sentence of the fitting gender:] {The first name honors [husband]'s father, the middle name my grandfather. [second middle] name honors a favorite uncle of mine, one that really invested in me as a child and encouraged me to live up to my potential. He taught me how to ride a horse at his ranch during my summers as a little girl. //// The first name honors [husband]'s mother. The first middle name,[first middle], truly instills what we want for our little girl to strive to be. [second middle] is one I found in my family tree as a girl and just couldn't get out of my head.} [husband] really likes the name choice as well.
Sincerely,
[your name]
[gender]:
odd = boy
even = girl
[name]:
-he/she will have two middle names-

girl
