Hi baby boy!
We are 22 weeks this week and feel great! This is the time that most women say they could stay pregnant forever.... I hear that will change in a few short weeks as we grow together. You are continuing to develop all kinds of things this week... liver, pancreas and brain are biggies this week. You could weigh at least a pound! I have had a lot more energy the past few days... except for this morning and I'm not sure why. I have felt you move a lot lately. It is so cool :). DeeDee (my mom's grandmother name for now) and I went to Martin's this weekend and bought you LOTS of cute clothes for this summer and next summer. Your daddy thinks they are a little girly (because they are smocked) but I assured him that there's a time and a place for smocked outfits in a little boy's life. I don't know if he bought it or not. You will be super cute in everything we put on you. I "bought big" because your friend David is growing a lot faster than expected. I would rather your clothes be a little big than too little and you never get to wear them!
The talk this week has been about baby names!! Everyone has some ideas... we are finally happy with a couple.
Aunt Rachel joked that your name should be Goliath because your best friend will be David. We had a lot of fun playing with that one, "David and Goliath... come in for dinner! David... I told you to stop throwing rocks at Golli! I know he's bigger than you but you can't throw stuff at him!"
Our friend Allen has always called you Dexter... which I actually love the name but "Dexter Morgan" is a character on a show we watch who is a serial killer... kinda ruins the name for us :)
Your daddy still wants your middle name to be Elway. I think I'm ok with it now. I've heard it so much and paired it with so many other names that it's starting to sound right.
Right now we like.... drum roll please....
Hudson
Spencer
Wallace
Yes this is a very short list. This is way harder than I ever imagined it could be!
Hope you like your name :)
Love,
Mom
those are great name choices. Ya'll are doing a good job. Strong male names - love it. Glad you're feeling good, Ashley. It's a wonderful time of your life. I love seeing the great big bright smile on your mom's face. I don't think she's stopped smiling since you got pregnant! Love the name DeDe - a good friend of mine's grands call her that. I had a completely different name chosen for my grands to call me, but Kylie renamed me early! I'm a Maam Maw to the bone - she knew!
ReplyDeletehahaha thats funny...I just suggested Dexter a few days ago as our most recent "agreed" pick.We waver a lot though, I think it will be a bit before we settle on something!
ReplyDeleteVery cute choices! Get ready to feel him move a lot more!Our boy's activity jumped right up in the weeks after that...and now, the past couple of days I have felt VERY tired. so, enjoy the energy while it lasts:)
