We have a boy name

Saturday night we went over to the Cross' house for a get-together. The baby received clothing items #2 and #3 from Maria, two cute little outfits. This time the size of the clothes were less scary than seeing the onesie from Stacey - maybe because they looked a little bigger than the onesie due to the fact that they were full-length pants. I've also been reading pregnancy magazines lately (trying to learn about this new 'position' of mine), so maybe that had something to do with it, too.

During the evening it was revealed that Mike has already come up with his choice for a boy name - Landon. I was kind of surprised because he hadn't mentioned it to me yet, and also because not only did I find the name plausible, it was actually on my mental list of possibilities. I've tried not to think about it much until we find out what we're having, but maybe we're done with picking a boy name already? I was also surprised he picked a middle name as well - Thomas, after my father. I thought that was really cool. Mike's middle name is his father's name, and Chase's middle name is Michael, so it's kind a little tradition. The fact he chose my father's name is very sweet, and practical as well. Since the baby's last name will obviously be from his father's side, it would be nice for the middle name to be from my side of the family. Plus, I think it was my mother that told me children who are named after family members subconsciously feel pressured to emulate that person. I wouldn't mind if Landon Thomas emulated my dad, I think that'd be a pretty good deal!
