What's in a Name?

While I don't think the whole concept of growing another person is easy by any means (or comfortable, for that matter), I do think what's far more difficult in this whole ordeal is coming up with a name!

Jamey and I had the same problem with Willa. It was two weeks before her scheduled birth and we did not have ONE NAME that the two of us agreed upon. We made a date, agreed to both show up with a list of names and agreed that we would not go home until we had a list we agreed upon. After dinner, we ended up at the Barnes and Noble cafe. We were there for five hours, but we did come up with a list.

This time was more difficult because we must have both boy and girl names. Jamey is convinced we are having another girl. He insists that with all of the pictures from our multiple ultrasounds we would have seen some dead give-away if this is a boy. This is not enough proof for me to ignore the boy names, although I admit, between the two of us, I like the girl names better than the boy names.

The good news is we only have two weeks left to meet our little something. The bad news is that the little something may not have a name for awhile!
