The naming process....

Big sigh.....well, we finally have a name!  From the moment we found out that we were going to have a boy, things changed.  Derek all of a sudden had an opinion?!?  Not only on the name, but also on the nursery.  So, unlike the naming process with Jocelyn, which consisted of thinking about it for two days and voila!  This process took weeks!  We went round, and round, and round....and round about this one.  Then one day, while reading the "Baby name book", Derek came across the name Grayson.  I immediately piped up and said, YES!  I like that a lot!  Then, we had to "think" about it...and when I say we, I mean "he".  But, in the end we both agreed that we just love this name, and we are excited to share with everyone that our little man will be called....

 
Derek painted the nursery this weekend in a beautiful handsome grey.  He wrote Grayson's name on the wall, and I thought that was pretty cute!  Don't worry, we aren't going to leave it that way ;) Robert happens to be my Dad's name as well as Derek's maternal grandfather's name.  So, we are happy to honor both sides of the family in that regard.  AND....the England name will be carried on.  On the England side, they only had one boy (Derek's Dad), and he had 2 boys (Derek & his brother).  So, we are excited that we can continue on the family name for another generation!

5 month belly shot!

This pregnancy is going by so fast! 
5 month belly shot comparison when I was pregnant with Jocelyn.  It looks like I am carrying higher?

Snips and snails, and puppy dog tails...

That's what BOY's are made of.  We went in for our 19 week sonogram on Friday and got a huge shocker....we are having a BOY!  I still can't believe it, but Derek and I are so excited.  How perfect?  One of each!  We are very blessed.  Now, I have to trash my "girl nursery" design board and focus on boy stuff.  I might just turn all of this over to Derek as I am totally out of ideas!  I am sure I will figure it out soon enough.  Baby England is measuring on target and everything looks good, so we are very thankful.  Now, we have to figure out a name.  I will let you know as soon as we figure that out.
