Any Suggestions?

We need a really great name for a boy. Of course we had a girls name all picked out and ready to go (Sophia), but boy names have been stumping us. There are several names that I really love…

Finn
Owen
Henry
Calvin
Max

Drew doesn’t really care for any of them, and he has yet to offer any suggestions. I want to pinch him. If you hear of any great boy names please leave them in the comments.

My sad little cowboy...

This is my favorite picture of Drew when he was a little boy. He really looks as if life on the range is cold and lonely. I just want to squeeze him. I posted this because I’m hoping our little boy will take after Drew and look somewhat like this. Drew was a really crazy kid so I’m not so sure if I can handle our son acting like Drew did. Some of my favorite Drew stories are:

When Drew was 2 or 3 he pretended to be a dog for an absurdly long amount of time. He refused to speak (only growled and barked), ate on the floor, and wanted to sleep on top of the couch like snoopy.

When Drew was 9 he decided he didn’t want to go to school anymore. He pretended to walk to school but instead would hide and then return home after his parents left to watch cartoon’s in bed all day. He did this for a whole week. (So crazy)

Drew decided to run away from home when he got in trouble for skipping school. He packed everything he thought he would need for life in the woods. He had brought the classifieds along and began circling ads for free dogs. It was just going to be him and his new canine companion living off the land. His aunt found him before he even spent one night in the woods. Did I mention that he was only nine?

There is also the fighting. Drew was a tough kid that got into fights.

I am totally screwed.

Do you see what I see...?

Sorry for the crappy scan. I think if you click on it, it should show up bigger. We didn't get any good pictures of the baby because it was breech. They were able to find (and circle in the picture) a tiny little penis. We are having a baby boy. :)

Stay tuned....

Tomorrow morning we find out the sex of our baby. I really can’t wait. I had dreams about our Ultrasound all night last night. Every dream resulted in the doctor being unable to tell what it was. :( I probably won’t be able to sleep at all tonight. Even more than finding out the sex, I am just really excited to get a look at the baby again. Make sure its okay and see how big it’s gotten.

Also, I am lucky enough to be pregnant for Texas’s hottest summer on record. This year we have already had 17 days of 100-degree weather or higher, and summer only “officially” began last week. Good Lord.

Baby's Heartbeat

Nice and strong...

For baby's room...

Here are two prints I plan on framing and hanging in the baby's room. The top one I ordered from boygirlparty.com. The second one is a print Bonnie sent me from ETSY.
