Ethanberry

We just got a digital camera that actually has sound with the video, woohoo!!!! So we've been very video-happy these last few days. Here are a couple to show you Ethan talking. He LOVES animals and loves making their sounds. If you listen carefully, you can hear that he kind of resembles their sounds :o)

In Labour??

It's 1:00 am and I'm up. I've been having braxton hicks all evening, so it makes me think I'm going to go into labour tonight. Wishful thinking? We will soon find out.... I actually haven't had any for a while now, so I'm beginning to think so. Hmmmm....
I've been feeling REALLY good for about the last 5 days. I don't even feel pregnant for the most part (except when getting out of the bath, or bending over to reach something :) and I'm ok with the fact that I didn't have the baby 2 weeks early like I had planned. Funny how you can't really plan these kind of things.
Since I thought I was going into labour tonight, I went and packed the baby's bag, what fun! And you know what's REALLY fun??? Having the baby's name picked! Finally!! Chris says he still isn't 100% sure, but I know him, he was like this with Ethan too, and as soon as Ethan was born, he was fine with it (and he better be ok with it because we have NO back-up names!). I keep saying the baby's name out loud because I like it so much:o)
Chris is actually the one who mentioned the name. I had printed out a list, like 5 pages long with all sorts of names, and we'd gone through the list a few times, with no agreement on a name. Well last night we figured we had to at least make a short list of a few possibilities. So we were sitting there, Chris was silently reading the list, when he said "how about _______ ?" It was a name neither of us had even noticed or mentioned before, and I was like "yeah, I love it!" Then for the middle name, I had been lying in bed the other night and it just popped into my head. I hadn't even read it anywhere! Since I believe the meaning of a name is important, I first had to go look up the meanings, and they're awesome!! I think it was meant to be. So hopefully you all will be able to find out soon just what the name is....until then...pray I go into labour cuz I want to meet this little baby!
