my husband and i finally decided on a name! ive been saying the name over and over and it just felt right, so i texted him yesterday and said what i wanted the babys name to be. my husband texted back and said he was in church and had the same feeling that morning.
We have decided to name our son…
drum roll
Frederick Daniel Gonzalez
It has been the only name that i feel strongly about. when we decided, i cried a little. its been nice the last two days to actually call my baby a name (who is moving around like a maniac right now!) i love how it sounds and how it looks on paper. i love that i dont know many people named Frederick, but it is common enough that people will know how to say it. its spelled slightly differently than what most people will spell it, but i can live with that. i love that i can call him Freddy and i can always say “ready Freddy?” before we do anything ( i love puns and silly things like that). i finally feel at peace about the whole name thing and i feel ready to welcome him into this world.
my parents love the name. dann’s parents love the name. my sisters love it, but dann’s sister doesnt like it. im not sure if his brother knows yet. but most of the family is happy about it, so yay. cant please everyone. im happy with our decision. it was hard enough finding a name i liked, so im sticking to it! my dad asked if he comes out and we feel he doesnt look like a frederick, what are we going to do? i said i wasnt sure, but we’d probably look over our list again and pick something more suitable to him. i just feel really strongly about this name, so i dont think we’re going to change it. my dad still wishes we picked levon (after the elton john song…thats where my entry title came from), but dann was opposed so theres nothing i can do.
i have just under 6 weeks to go. im measuring a week larger, which might mean he might come sooner. at this point, im hoping he makes an early appearance. 2-3 weeks early would be great. im just feeling very large, very stretched and very stiff and sore. its difficult to do anything, especially stretch. i get winded very easily and im just tired. im ready for him to be here. gotta see if some of danns friends can come over this week to move the crib and mattress behind the couch (its still in the box…gonna set it up when my parents come down for thanksgiving/the birth) and maybe move a few things around in the bedroom. id do it myself, but i cant move all that heavy furniture. i also thing im going to move the bassinet over to my side of the bed soon, just to get used to it being there. i need to pack a hospital bag too…
alright, i better get going. so happy there is one less thing to worry about until this little guy gets here! later everyone.
