We have a BiRtH dAtE ...

After a few more pounds and another trip to the doctor's office, we have a birth date set for our new little guy ... May 11, 2009! How cool that Abby and Wyatt are both born on the 11th too, just different months. I am starting to get really excited, and a little bit nervous, especially when I think about him following his brother's antics. In the past twenty-four hours, Wyatt has had a bloody nose, a fat bloody lip, and a bloody mouth all from different accidents. This is his latest perch for watching movies ...
I think I will invest in a lot of hair dye, but life is an adventure so bring it on! We can't wait to meet and hold you sweet baby. Now we just need a name. Abby likes Steve, Morgan likes Ricardo, Tracy likes Slade, and I am leaning towards Chase -- any suggestions?

May 11th!!! Just one day before June turns 2. It has got to be nice to know when your little guy is going to get here.

Your family is just too cute!

I am so with Morgan on this one! Ricardo is such a nice name, it flows off the tongue so smoothly. There are also so many nick name possibilities! You could call him....ricky, card, do, cardo, rick, ricardo Marshall....say that ten times fast! Okay, I'm done:)

That boy of yours sure knows how to put a treadmill to good use, doesn't he?? Best seat in the whole house! If you name your child Ricardo I will be forced to refer to him as "Rico" for all of his days. That's just because I think of Rico Suave whenever I hear Ricardo, I don't know why. You know you just sang a little of that song in your head as you read that. Don't deny it!! Hmm, ok seriously, names are tough. I am the worst at picking out names, I like so many I fear that the next child will have quite a mouthful because I'll want to give them ALL of the good ones! (Cody said I can name the next one, little does he know what he has agreed to!!) What was your maiden name? Is it something you can pass along like Tracy's mom did on him?

When I was first born one of my sibling wanted to name me Ursula... I thank the lord my parents didn't take their suggestion. Although all your names suggested aren't too bad.

Ricardo...bwahahaha! I bet that would go over well!

I know you well...and I am betting that little Chase will be adorable!

That pic ROCKS! Looks like how my son likes to watch tv (from any dangerous perch he can find)!

Well I have to say that I like the name Slade. And oh my word....most people would look awkward perched on a treadmill like that...but he makes it look surprisingly comfortable. What a cute family you have.

Happy birthday picking! I'm putting him on the calendar right now! Abby told me she liked "Steve", but it was the way she said it that cracked me up; very cool like "Steeeve". Ricardo personally rocks my socks. But Chase is my favorite of all.

#1...Ricardo.
#2...Chase

How exciting! Congratulations!

Rachel said...

I vote for Chase :)

That's a great pic! And how cool about the 11th. Jerry and I are both on the 27th but no kids on that day yet. I vote for Ricardo.

Nice place to perch. You would think that would leave him feeling a little ahem... saddle sore. Kid has some tough stuff I guess. NIce white turtleneck Tracy, are you showing off your muscles?
