Things are underway & a name has been chosen…..

We have decided to name our little one Gideon Clayton Dalton.   I never knew deciding a name could be so time consuming,  it was rather a funny process, one of us would come up with a name and then the other would decide if it was "worthy-enough" to be added to the list with the following criteria.

1) Could not be on the top ten name list from Social Security for 2007.

2) We both had to actually like the name.

3) and it could not have a cruel nickname.  

  One of my favorite names was Lucas until someone mentioned Lucus Mucus, so the name was taken off the list and we moved on.   Then one night we were bored and started looking people up on MySpace and Josh mentioned that he would like to get in touch with a guy from college named Gideon and that is when I fell in love with the name.   The name means " A Great Warrior" so it looks like we have a little fighter on her hands and as much as he has been moving I firmly believe this. 

Well we have been working on the nursery trying to get things ready for the little guy's arrival.     Josh's project has been to paint the nursery and the letters and as you can tell by the pictures he has been hard at work and definitely doing an awesome job.
