the player to be named later :)






here are a few sonogram photos of our precious little guy on the way. he was really showing off his moves that day and was quite acommodating in determining his sex. of course, since this is the 3rd penis that i've seen on an ultrasound since 2001, i didn't even need the sonographer to tell me what we were having :) i can spot those things on the screen pretty quickly now!!

we're still working on a name for him. jamie refers to him as the player to be named later. of course, the boys have given us dozens of daily and interesting suggestions, most of which the poor child would disown us for...i will give sumner credit for what seems to be his favorite name right now-luke-that one's not as "unique" as templeton, percy, thomas, poppyseed, or my personal favorite, nuevlia!!! he made that one up on the spot when we initially told him we were expecting. that was his first suggestion for a baby sister. he has quite the imagination!

just about every time we ask grayson, his response is "braywen". one of our best friends had a little boy a few months ago named brayden, so he thinks that since he has that name, all babies male or female should have that name, too!

sumner is just the sweetest w/ babies and i can't wait to see him as a big brother of 5 1/2! it will be so different this time around. he's so loving to our little "niece" and the other babies we are around, i only hope that that will keep up.

i can't wait to see if his personality is like sumner's or grayson's...if he has grayson's curls...or if he surprises us and looks completely different.
life will definitely be interesting in our house. i imagine my two primary daily goals of making sure they are fed and don't kill themselves (or each other) will not change! pray for me girls!

just last night grayson removed the straw from his disney goblet and was putting it up his nose to snort couscous off of his plate! between that, the ever tempting top bunk that grayson thinks doubles as a launching pad, plus the myriad of rubber snakes i find hidden throughout my house should keep my ticker in check and provide me with lots of laughter!

while they tire me out quickly, it certainly is made up for in the sweetest of kisses and loving gestures that melt a mommy's heart. and i have to raise these boys to leave? not sure my heart can take that. but, i pray i will teach them well.

I'm with Sumner ... I like the name Luke! It's simple, but very cute. I have a friend who's 3rd son is named Luke.

Congrats on the "Player to be named Later!" Maybe you should just stick w/ that...you could call him Playa for short...Ray would like it!

we'll keep that in mind :) kinda like "head" was grayson's nickname given by RR before the little guy "grew into" his head-bless his heart! thank heaven for those curls, huh? ;)

I like Playa too. Think of introducing your sons. This is Sumner, Grayson, and Playa.

"Playa" could actually have double significance since we honeymooned in Playa del Carmen! ha! maybe that's a sign :)
