The only post I will write about our super-secret name choices...

I love names. I have an addiction. Pregnant or not, I'm always on websites, buying books, and writing down ones that I like. I found a lovely little antique table with a ton of drawers all over it, it now resides in my bedroom with many pages of names in it, each drawer an ever-changing category. I have hundreds of names tucked away in that drawer in a wonderful organized way that only I can figure out.

On Tuesday night the kids were playing and I sat down to make sense of my names list. We've got three names to choose from for a boy, two of which are very similar. The middle names are chosen. So if we have a boy I will not freak out. It's the girl that I am worried about.

We've got both middle names set in stone, and three first names to choose from, but there is no favourite, I love them all. One I have loved since I was ten years old, another I found recently and absolutely adore, and the third is a lovely name, and a favourite of my husbands, with adorable nicknames.

I really hope that Hammy either comes out a boy, or comes out "just looking like a" girls name, otherwise we might have a problem.

I never thought I would write this (Six)

April 2010 will bring a wonderful blessing into our lives, and we couldn't be happier.

Eleven weeks today, and you may refer to this little miracle as Hammy.

So I've started this blog because a few relatives asked for updates and I hate phoning people just to chat, and I don't have time to write many letters. So here we have a blog.
