Baby Names

We all made a trip to the hospital this morning to see baby Barret! He is so cute with big round cheeks! Totally squeezable!! It was the first time my kids had seen him and they were in awe! They really surprised me though!! Kyler was interested in looking for about 45 seconds. And after "petting" him, as she called it, she was done and moved on to other things! Paycos, on the other hand, couldn't get enough of him!! We were fighting over who got to hold him! He held him 3 different times and each time, he wouldn't give him back!! It was so sweet!! I hope he has the same reaction with our baby! I really thought the roles would be reversed!!! I thought we would be fighting Kyler off of Barret! Paycos is going to be a GREAT big brother with this baby. He could have cared less about Kyler when she was born, but this time I think he will be a HUGE helper. I think Kyler will come around. Maybe if it's the sister that she wants, she will be more involved! Who knows with that girl!!

We are having a hard time coming up with (and agreeing on) baby names. So I was wondering if anyone had any ideas! A great friend of mine did this when she was pregnant with her third and I'm stealing the idea! (thanks Kari!!!) If you have any suggestions on boy or girl names, we would LOVE to hear them. As much as I love traditional names, I'm thinking it has to be something different so that it goes well with Paycos! Kyler is more common but definitely not overused! If you plan on using the name for your own kids, let me know so I don't use it!! I have a few girl names that I love but Justin doesn't like them as much as I do! But I am really struggling with the boy names. And since I am thinking it's a boy, I would like to have several choices to throw out to Justin. He seems to turn a lot of them down!! (Like my #1 favorite- Brody...rejected!) One thing that we agree on is, if it's a girl, we would like the middle name to be Chaney. It's not set in stone, so if we find a first name we like, and it doesn't flow well with Chaney, we would be willing to improvise! That being said...any ideas?!?

  1. I LOVE Brody! We were thinking that if we had another boy we'd use Brody, but that's a little too close to Braidy...so maybe you can talk him into it. Ya'll are so good at coming up with cool names, I know you'll find something perfect for this new baby too!
