When I came home from school yesterday I had some packages waiting for me. Tucked inside of them was so much fun and inspiration, that I just had to take some pictures and share them here with you.My funky friend, Adrienne, who I know through the SIS design team, just had her first book published and I have two copies of it! I had to read all the way through it before the night was over. I was so proud and excited for her! If you think you can't draw/doodle, or if you just want to get better and be inspired, then this book is for you. If you want a chance to get your hands on one of my copies...then leave me a comment. Tell me your favorite baby names- boy and girl, and by Monday I will have a random drawing and one of you will get this book and a few more of my favorite goodies right now. Fun stuff!
I have decided not to 'grow up' anytime soon. I just have so much fun collecting cutesy, colorful, scrappy stuff and I think this is partly to blame for keeping me 'young'. At least that's what I'm telling myself. =)
Wow, what cute fun colorful stuff! Just the kind of package a girl needs to receive to brighten her day.
ReplyDeleteHmmm..... fave boy and girl names? Well since my youngest is nine, I haven't thought along these lines for what seems like forever!
I'm afraid once I commint myself to a few, more will pop in my mind. Ah well... we'll see what comes out. = )
Boy: Landon
Girl: Emma
Jody! Fun package you received!!
ReplyDeleteNames: Boy -- Davis, Brady, Bryant, Sage
Girl -- Kayla (not because of KaylaAimee, but that's my daughter's name. KA will love that one, though! LOL!), Sierra, Lily.

Mmm, baby names. Let's see...for a boy I like Max or Henry. For a girl, I like Grace or Zoe.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on such an unexpected gift.
ReplyDeleteI believe you have been granted this blessing as a reward for your strength, adoration, patience, determination, and devotion to your family.
As far as names..
I have long admired the name Wyatt for a boy.
and for a girl I love the name Haven.
I was reading this book and playing around with it at Lori's (straitfan10)the other day. I loved it!!
ReplyDeleteFor a boy name I like:
Ezekiel
This is from the Hebrew word meaning "God Stregnthens" and I think that is very true that God does strenghen us more that we know and with the timing of this pregnancy it seems just right. God has been putting you through a lot that has been helping to strengthen you more and more as he stands by your side to protect and look over you.
For a girl name I like:
Taya
This is a greek name meaning "unknown/perhaps" I like this one because we are always in the unknown as to what God has planned for us and that is part of God's amazing powers is that he knows of things that we have no idea, but he is always there to guide us and be our teacher as we are dealt the unknown.
I hope you like these names and I hope more importantly that you and your family are doing well and this will be a healthy baby!! I continue to pray for all of you.
Katy Vallie
(grouchyasskt)

ReplyDeleteWell, we're in the same boat right now, trying to come up with new baby names for our #5. These are not on our list (don't have one yet), but I thought I'd share them anyway.
Boy: This one was suggested to me by a friend last night.
Theodore Rex. (get it? T. Rex...come on, T. Rex Ferlaak...it has a nice ring to it, doesn't it???) :)
Girl: I LOVE the name Georgia Faith, but we already used the "George" for one of our boys' middle names. Also love Virginia (my grandma) - would shorten it to Ginny, but Ginny Jones doesn't work for us...maybe Ginny Ferlaak? Or Josephine(my other grandma) and call her Josie...again, Josie Jones...not a good combination. But ANYTHING goes with Ferlaak! :)
Boy - Ryan Patrick
ReplyDeleteGirl - Lauren Elizabeth
since you have just GOT to have a boy for Brock and Chip's sake i will only pick a boys name.
ReplyDeleteI love the name Reese.
also like Jantzen, Maddox, Blake, Luke, Noah, Ryker, Talon, Henry, and Aidan.
So there you go, names for this little guy!!
And if for some reason you have another princess, my daughters names are Madelyn Chloe Amelia, and Taryn Elyse Mackenzie, and they are every bit as wounderful as their names.
Good luck!!!!!!!!
~Annie

Hi, first I love you blog, I so want to do one but just can't seem to get started..so I read everyone elses "smiles". My favorite boy name is Jericho, now not for the tv show like you might think. I have a 7 month old grandson, my first born's - first born. Well Jeremy (my son) told me he picked out Jericho..and well I didn;t care for it all. Then I researched the biblical name of Jericho and found out that it has been destroyed I think 5 times and still stands today. As it turned out our little Jericho had quite a gestation period, with out getting too lenghty..they were advise to abort at 20 weeks..heartbreaking to see them have to deal with all that, but faith prevailed and he is just fine. So I know that his name was the perfect one and has shown us how faith can get you through anything, Well I;m preaching to the choir..RIGHT..your faith is so inspiring, and I know that one day our little Jericho will also be a inspiration, he was saved for a reason. Thanks for letting me share..hugs Susan

Jody:
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I've ever seen your blog. I've been reading through your posts and the link to your little angel for over an hour now & I cannot tell you how much your story has touched my heart! It's beautiful to see how you are able to keep your faith in the Lord even through all of the tests and trials of that faith. You have a beautiful family and spirit. Now I'm going to add my vote for a name if you are to be blessed with a boy. I've always loved the name Aiden, Rowan, Toryn, and Liam. My husband hates all 3, so maybe you'll like one!!! For a girl, I like the name Claire.
Please know that my thoughts & prayers are with you and your family. And thank you for sharing your amazing story with all of us!
Boy names-Kayden,Kai,Jace
ReplyDeleteGirl names-McKenna,Haylie,Kylee
Congratulations on baby no.6!Love your blog...what an inspiration!

My kids names are Aidan Richard (boy) and Kiara Janae (girl).
ReplyDeleteI asked a class of grade 1 students for some name ideas before Aidan was born....and got more than I bargained for! Their suggestions were "Princess", "Sparkles", "Buddy", "Julie" to name just a few. Oddly those were the same names that they used in their stories in class too!
I've always liked Petra (my Norwegian grandmothers' name) and Ethan (our other choice for a boys' name!)
Your children have beautiful names and I'm sure this little one will be just as fortunate!
It is perfectly OK not to grow up!
ReplyDeleteGirl: Lucy
Boy: Daniel
At least those are my favs

I may be biased, but I'm all about the name Lucy!
ReplyDeleteoh how fun!!
ReplyDeleteok--not sure if you'll like my style--i usually prefer old timey classic names. we named our second daughter madison and at that time we knew no others...turned out to be the most popular name for several years-ha!
for boys--fave all time name is jack...john david & call him J.D.
for girls--i have lots more Catherine, Caroline, Elizabeth, Mary Grace, Meg, Jaynie, Kate, & we recently saw this very cute couple and their daughter's name was Sally--she was a cutie so i'll add Sally!
xo
Hmmmm, my fave names? Right now for a boy, it would definitely be Cullen. Of course that has a lot to do with the fact that I am knee deep in the Twilight saga.
ReplyDeleteI love Lily for a girl.
Oh my...I have three girls, and I love their names:
ReplyDeleteMia, Sarah and Emma...if I have one more it would be Margaret.(Maggie for short)

Thank you for posting, even when it is hard. You are an inspiration to many! My daughter is Kaylee Elizabeth, of course that was back before the Kaylee-type names exploded. I tend to like different names. Our son is Piersen William and i have yet to meet another Piersen. Had he been a girl, he would have been Avelynn Grace. Had our daughter been a boy she would have been McHale Avery. My best friend named her little girl Dylann Rae, which I adore. Your kids have great names, I'm sure you won't have trouble finding another one. God Bless.
ReplyDelete~Mitzi (hey, Mitzi's kinda different, too :)
Fun stuff!
ReplyDeleteNames: Boy: Ian, Ethan (my boys), Landen, Paxton

Good goodies you got there Jody! I'm doodling impaired -- need all the help I can get!
ReplyDeleteWe just got a new girl puppy and named her Roxi. My head's full of dog names right now, some of those being Juno, Milo, Cairo. My kids wanted to name a new dog Ozzy after Ozzy Osbourne (almost 13 year old boy here) Thank goodness we got a girl puppy!
As for baby names, my daughter is Gaby (Gabrielle) and we had also considered Mia and Ella. Nick (Nicholas) was the only boy name we ever had, as he we named after a family member.
To go with Ferlaak, hmmmm. My daughter has a girlfriend named Ashton. I like Sophie, Sophia, Ava too. Boys, Carson, Drew
Looking forward to reading of your pregnancy and new addition. Blessings!

Oh yeah. Growing up is HIGHLY overrated!!! Stay young and funky girl! Let's see...fave boys names that I am not using (Hubs is not down with them) are Weston, Gabriel, Ewan, Jace and Kye (Ukiah). Girls names we aren`t using (because it's a BOY!) were Annalisa, Callia, Bella (already got that one!) Georgia, Hannah, Isabella, Jillian, Megan and Keli. I SO want to grab a copy of Adrienne's book but with my current location...let's just say Amazon is my friend but SO incredibly SLOW!!! I can`t wait to move from the North!!! Oh my WORD...I have been typing this comment while reading other names and brainstorming with DH and I think we just picked our name!!!

Hi Jody,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you and your beautiful family!!! Truly, what a blessing!!! Hope you and Wyndham are feeling well.
I have 2 boys, who were both born prematurely, so I know the feelings you are going through with Wyndham's health issues. It just breaks your heart when your little one is sick. I always felt so helpless when my boys were sick and faced numerous medical issues,... but with love, you can never go wrong...that is the best medicine!
I always wanted a little girl but I don't know if that will ever happen now. So, these are the names that are so special to me:
Girl: Lauren Elizabeth
Boy: Matthew Robert
Steven Austin
Please pray that one day, we can add Little Lauren to our family.
Best wishes,
Beth
Wow! I had fun reading everyone's favorite names . . . actually, I'm only halfway throught he list so far.

love the name mackenzie elise for a girl and sebastian levi for a boy.
ReplyDeletecongrats again on your exciting news.
Jody: I don't want a prize or be in a drawing. So please exclude me. For a boy, what a honor to recognize John "Chip" the III ( I believe???). And for a girl, I can't think of anything but "Grace". Grace Teagan Ferlaak.

Hi Jody - I'm a little new to commenting, but I wanted to say congrats on the new baby and then to tell you how inspiring you are to me. I really enjoy your spiritual and creative thoughts. I LOVE the new book that you showed!!! Baby names...
ReplyDeletefor a girl - Bronte (like Emily Bronte)
for a boy - Thad
All of my kids have "M" names (wasn't planned it just happened!) so I wasn't ever able to use these names. God's richest blessings to you! Heather
I have to say, I used family names for my children: Powell and Alden. My daughter was adopted when she was four so she came with a name...Katilynn. I always loved the name Hope or Lily for a girl. I also loved the name Colin for a boy but we didn't think it was wise to have a Colin and a Powell.
ReplyDeleteis it too late? haven't been on the computer for a few days - shame on me! Neat stuff. Someone will be very happy!
ReplyDeleteboy names: Peyton, Quinton
girl names: Wren, Keirsten
Thanks for the chance =)
