Baby #2 Update for March 18th

Had another doctor's visit today. According to the u/s measurements they think this boy already weighs 7 lbs! I have three weeks left, and at about .5 lb/week that'll put him at about 8.5 lbs when he's born! So we're taking bets as to how much bigger or smaller he'll truly be.

I am actually getting really excited about the baby coming. Finally. I feel a lot of my stress leaving and I can now focus on this little bundle of joy that is coming. I look at Jase and how much I love him and how cute he CAN be (ok, how cute he IS) and wonder what little brother's personality will be like.

The thing causing me the most anxiety is the nursing thing. Anyone who knows me knows how horrific it was for about 4 to 5 weeks my first time around...so now I am just trying to put that out of my head and tell myself if it's THAT bad again, I don't HAVE to do it. I don't have to cry and dread each and every feeding around the clock for days and days. That is what Similac is for--LOL. So we'll see. Besides that, today I am just really looking forward to meeting this little guy!

And names. Oh names. Ugh. So far it's still a toss up between Cody or Ian. Keep in mind it has to sound good with our last name as well as good with Jase's name (you know, when someone asks me "what's your boys' names?" I can say "Cody and Jase," etc. Make sense?)

Here's a few others on the list: Rowan, Lane, Drew, Liam (like it but kinda mouthy with our last name), Jack, Joey. I'm open to plenty of other suggestions, too. Hit me up in the comments.

All very good name ideas. (If he's too big you might need to call him Bubba or something.)

I am liking the sound and flow of Cody the best of all. Mostly because I think it sounds the best with Jase. Plus, I am partial to Cody since it is my nephew's name! I too am having a hard time finding a boy name.I still have 3 months though....

I like your whole list. I can't decide. I'm terrible with picking names. I always second guess myself. I think of Ian or Cody I like Cody the best.
