Names for #3

We have finally decided...on a name! :) It has only taken us all 30 weeks so far to pick out a boys name! We kept adding names to the list, then crossing them off for one reason or another one by one. This name is actually one that we almost put on the list for Logan, considered for Blake's list but at the time it didn't seem like a good fit for Blake, and this time around just seems like the right name for this little guy. In fact, I think it's one of the only names that has stuck around since our first list.

It's funny to think what our boys could have been! Logan was going to be an Ethan up until 33 weeks, Blake was never really anything but a Blake (unless he would have been a girl, of course), and this newest little guy has had about 5 different names in our mind before we finally vetoed them all and decided on this one. And if they were girls - we would most likely have had an Aubrey, Clara, and a Juliet (although this one is a little less final since we found out so early with #3 that he's a boy so we never really got into the major girl name list). 

But whew, I don't know why but I feel so much better now that we've decided, it's final, no turning back now on the name! It's hard for me to really start picturing/planning for having a new baby around until he has a name. I know for sure I could never be one of those parents who wait until the baby is born to decide on a name! If I did that, the baby wouldn't even have a coming home outfit ready, lol! So in the spirit of name decisions, I went ahead and bought this little guy three things we've been needing for his arrival and now it all feels so much more 'official' :)

...and in case you're wondering, we're not announcing the name ;) sorry folks!
