This little guy is already getting way less attention than his big brother. Poor kid. I'm sure he'll get over it someday in therapy. Despite the lack of blog devoted to him I am VERY excited for this new little baby to come! And not just because I'm getting large and uncomfortable. Another pregnancy has gone perfectly smoothly. Am I really that lucky? I keep expecting my luck to run out at any moment and find out that something has gone tragically wrong. But besides my iron being low, everything is as it should be.
I wish I had more information to give you about the baby. All I know is it's a boy, he has all his body parts and a wonderful heartbeat, likes to kick and squirm, and he's probably the size of a small cabbage (17 in. 2.9 lbs). The due date is still December 16th, but at my last doctor's appointment she kept talking to me like it was still November 28th. We'll see...
I think now is the time to place bets. When will he come, how big, etc. Will was two weeks early and weighed 7 lbs 4-ish oz, and labor took about four hours. Please leave a comment with your guess, and the winner will receive the baby's umbilical cord nub! Just kidding...I'll think of something much more appetizing.
Also as far as names go, we're thinking about Caleb (a little too popular right now), Elliot, Trent, and Max.

GG votes emphatically for Elliot.
My latest favorite is Eli, but since it's not a top pick I'd say my chances are slim of getting it onto the birth certificate.
I say he'll come on Dec 7th and then you can share a birthday (and maybe not dislike your December birth date so much anymore?) Weight...hmmm, I say add your weight to Britton's then divide by 45. Very scientific!
I love Elliot. But I also like "Hunter." A little boy in my neighborhood is named that. I like it because it is manly.
We're so excited for your #2 too! I can't believe your labor with will was only 4 hours! You know that means the next one is going to come super fast right (the labor is supposed to be 1/2 the length of the first one)? I hope you live right next to the hospital or get Britton learning how to deliver babies! But don't worry, you'll be fine, its great that it doesn't last as long! Since will was early I'm going to say this little one is going to be born on December 12 and weigh 7lb 1oz. I agree with the others that Elliot is cute, Caleb is very common right now so I vote no for that one. I also like Trent but its kind of a boy name and hard to picture a tiny baby named Trent. Can't wait to hear the news!
