Oh, the name game!

So, right now Trey and I are stuck in the name game. Naming your child is serious business, this isn't something that you can just change later in life if you get sick of calling your son one name or another. This is a lifetime commitment! Everyday our list changes and our top choices shift. Our afternoons are filled with text messages back and forth all of which start with "Well what about..., or ......." Oh the stress! Our friends and family were kind enough to help with a name poll, but all the names that were included in the poll seem to be out of consideration (well, at least for today). Here are today's front runners:

Jaxson James
Carson James
Conner James

Since we now know that our little nameless one is a boy we have had some fun picking up a few baby things. We ordered bedding which is set to arrive any day (I can't wait to see it), we bought a playpen that has lots of little extras, we found a few fun boy outfits, and we were able to start our registry! This week we have been watching my sister's dog, so we decided it would be a good idea for Rambo and Koda to give the playpen a whirl. They seem to enjoy the soft bassinet interior and spacious changing station.

HOLY CRAP! IT"S BOY!!

Well the day finally came for us to have our 20 week ultrasound. Walking into the appointment felt like Christmas morning. I was so excited and nervous, which combined with the 30 ounces of water that they make you drink before you go in made me feel like I was going to explode. I was so shocked when the ultrasound tech told us that we were having a little baby boy, Trey says he had a feeling that it was a boy; must have been his daddy instinct kicking in! Not at all what I was expecting to hear, but a fun surprise. Trey and I are both so excited!

Finding out the sex makes the reality kind of sink in that there is a baby on the way. Now the great name debate can begin! We will be sure to keep you posted once a decision is made :)

Without making you wait any longer here is our son's first shining moment, he really wanted to make it clear to us that he is in fact a he.
