23 weeks down...17 to go!

Today marks 23 weeks into this pregnancy.  We have finally agreed on a name.  Let me back up, first of all anyone that knows me knows that I like lists.  I have an app on my phone where I can keep lots and lots of lists (thank goodness I can back it up online everytime I update a list just incase something would happen to my phone)  Anyways I've had an ongoing list of boy and girl names ever since we had Levin 2 years ago.  We knew we wanted to have one more so any time I heard a cute name I liked I added it to my list.  Well by the time we found out we were having a boy my list had about 20 boy names on it.  I spent the next 2 weeks searching through books and the internet to find other names that we liked.  Of course the name had to be cute and uncommon which is hard to find.  Plus we wanted to do another family name for the middle name which was harder then I thought it would be.  Well after 2 weeks went by I added another 10 names or so and I couldn't really find anything else I like and I was sick of looking so Jake and I agreed on Hudson Sawyer.  Hudson was one of the first names I added to my list after Levin was born and has always been my favorite.  Well the next day I decided that maybe we should have his name have a double initial like Cruz Christian and Levin Lynn.  So back to the search I went to find a new first name that started with a "S" or a new middle name that started with a "H".  What we ended up coming up with was Jett Jacob.  So we were set, his name was going to be Jett Jacob...well except it never really felt right to me.  I was afraid his whole life people would call him Jeff, whether they read his name wrong or they just heard him say it wrong.  So this last Saturday night I started looking for names again.  Jake came upstairs and asked what I was doing on the iPad and I told him I was looking for names again and why and he told me we should just say forget the double initial and go back to Hudson Sawyer, the first name we both liked (ok I actually loved it)  And this whole time we we're letting Cruz help some with the name picking, telling him the top 4 names and he always would pick Hudson.  So there is my long drawn out story... baby boy #3 will be called Hudson Sawyer :)

O as for the middle name we went with Sawyer which is Grandma's last name.  Jake was actually home on leave for his Grandpa Sawyer's funeral when we met.  We always say his Grandpa had something to do with us meeting that night so it seemed right to go with Sawyer. 

Things are starting to get a little harder such as tying my shoes and wrestling with the boys as my stomach seems to grow at what seems to be a very fast rate.  I don't remember being this big this soon with Cruz & Levin but maybe I was?  He's definitely pretty strong in there already as I can feel him kicking or punching me everytime I sit still.  Seems crazy but I know we'll have some busy months ahead of us with the holidays and before we know he will be here!
