DRUM ROLL PLEASE....!!!

We are finally ready to announce our little girl's name!!! We have told both our families, and so far everyone loves her name!

Jillian Dean Gulbas

Jillian has been our favorite name for months, and infact we've been calling her that at home for quite some time. It just took a little getting used to for us to make the final decision on her name.

Dean has a special meaning for us to - it's Jeff's grandfathers name.

So there you have it - we are thrilled we can finally start calling her by her name all the time!

Since my parents are sadly the only family we have in town (everyone else on both sides are scattered throughout TX, CO, and MO) we decided to tell them in person in a unique way.

While we were over for Easter we gave them this wrapped gift:


Inside were cut-up letters for her first and middle name and they had to figure out her name like a puzzle.....

After about 3-4 minutes of playing with the letters (and making some hilarious guesses) they guessed Jillian and were so excited! They thought Dean was so sweet, and that her middle name had a great meaning.


We can't wait to meet our little Jillian!!
