Mini Panic Attack
Yesterday morning I had a mini panic attack about the name Grayson. I have come to love the name Grayson and I can picture our little man as a Grayson, but yesterday morning I had a major fear overcome me and now I'm not sure what to do. Oddly enough, Nick said he too was thinking about the name Grayson yesterday morning.
We have a rather 'sissy' last name, if you will. It makes for naming a boy rather difficult. Nick and I have thrown tons of boy names at each other and Grayson was the one we both fell in love with. Now that we have had a chance to enjoy the fact that we're having a boy and actually call him by name, we're now afraid that Grayson is an easy target for name calling. The major one being in reference to gay-son loving.
We know every name has bad nicknames but if you combine Grayson with our last name, it's like a double whammy. Kids are mean and I realize that no matter what you name your child, they will find some way to make fun of a name. But like I said above, combine that with Loving and I just see a recipe for giving our poor boy a complex.
We're really just stuck on what to do. I mean, we can hope that our boy grows up to be a strong young man and can let little things like name calling roll off of his back. But at the same time I don't want my son to come home crying because kids were making fun of his name with me knowing that I could have prevented this specific name calling.
So right now we are being open to finding our little man another name. One that we love just as much. One that we can picture as our sons name. If we can't find one, then Grayson was meant to be and Grayson is what he shall be named! :o)
Who knows, maybe I am just being overly hormonal with all of this... ???

How far along? 22 weeks
Weight gain/loss: +13 pounds total.
Maternity clothes? Pants all the time. Tops most of the time.
Stretch marks? Nope!
Sleep? Better! I only get up maybe 2 or 3 times to pee now instead of 4 or 5! :o)
Best moment this week? I bought some boy clothes for our little man.
Food cravings: Nothing really
Gender: BOY! :o)
Belly button in or out? In
Movement? All the time.
What I miss? Being able to lay on my stomach.
What I'm looking forward to: Getting the bedding so I can pick out paint colors. I changed my mind on the set I'm getting. I'll post about it soon.
Milestones: Grayson weighs over a pound now. He's also around 11 inches long from head to heel.

Pumpkin Pickin' 2010
10.10.2010
Yesterday we took Hannah to the pumpkin patch to pick out some pumpkins.
Last year she couldn't walk so we just picked from the already picked pumpkins.
This year Hannah was actually able to walk around the pumpkin patch and pick out her own pumpkins. :o)
Needless-to-say, Hannah had a blast. I think that if we hadn't stopped her she would still be there picking pumpkins. :oP
We ended up with 4 pumpkins! :o)
I think our little pumpkin family is just too cute!

I must avoid Old Navy!

Look at all of the cute little boy clothes that Old Navy has:
(I had to throw in the Star Wars one just for Nick! :oP)
And that doesn't even include things that I could find for Hannah!
I must avoid Old Navy!
