Bower power new baby

[reason2believe]

I don't really follow this blog, but it was posted here recently about what she was having so I checked out the blog today.

She made a video about the reveal, which was really NMS so I didn't watch the whole thing. But the song playing on the background was something about a girl and her dreams and ballet or something. So I assumed it was a girl and I turned it off. But apparently it's a boy? Did I miss something with the song choice?

I'm not sure what song you heard, the song that is playing is talking about dreams and the world and nothing is about a "little girl with great big plans" aka Katie. It is a boy.

That's probably what I heard "little girl with big plans" and assumed she was having just that - a little girl. I probably should have watched the whole thing.

I just watched.
Huh
Interesting is about all I can say.

I thought it was a girl, too.

i thought the video was a little over the top and just weird. Show the kids holding a blue balloon and call it a day. I'm a Katie fan, but def found that eye roll worthy.

I don't have the time and the patience to watch it (mostly because I'm never near a computer unless I'm at work). What's interesting, peach?

I totally didn't get the video until they showed the name.

And then I was all, poor kid, named Leonard, like on big bang theory.

And am I the only one to think it's weird that her oldest and her sister's most recent child have the same names?

I think video announcements like that are weird in general, but I didn't find this one to be weirder than her last one. It's just her quirky style.

And I really love some of the photos in the slide show. They seriously have a gorgeous family.

I thought her sister's baby's name is Clay?

It's William Clay. I just checked back on the posts.

Ahh, ok. I think Jeremy's first name is William, too. Maybe she did it just for the family ties? I don't know why she wouldn't have done it for her firstborn then.

AmyRI Apparently Boots' name is William.  So that must be why she didn't use it for Cole.

"They named him William Clay. Some folks thought it was odd on instagram and Facebook that two sisters would name their kids William. Maybe. But it is probably equally weird that two sisters would both marry Williams. And have father in laws named William. Yup. Jeremy is actually William Jeremy…and Boots is actually William Andrew. And both their fathers are also named William (but go by middle names). William is also the name of my dad. And my brothers middle name. And our other nephews middle name. I could go on and on. We are practically shareholders in the William name stock."

I think it could be a southern thing because I have a friend who has a husband named William, a father-in-law named William and a baby named William. They all go by their middle names. (My grandfathers both have kids with the same first name but one of the kids went by his middle name and the other side went by a nickname instead.)

I thought the William thing was odd until she explained it. Makes sense.
