Today I am at 33 weeks and 5 days pregnant with our baby Boy! Evan and I are so excited!
We just started to tell me people what the baby's name is...and the next question that comes is: Where did that come from? So, I guess my first blog post would have to tackle that question!
Name: Jack Robert Lawson.
Yes, we know it sounds like a lawyer, doctor, or politician.
When we first found out that I was pregnant it took us no time at all to pick out boy and a girl names. So it was easy, when we found of it was a boy! (Maybe someday we will use our girl name, because we still love it).
We both picked the name Jack right away. I was really set on having a name that had some sort of family ties.
Jack came from the following:
My Side: My Dad's brother Jack. He passed away in 2009...he was incredibly sweet and was a very good pitcher for A & M, almost going pro. We miss him. Today would have been his 50th Birthday!
Evan's Side: He also has an uncle named Jack who every one calls 'Buddy'. Also Evan's best friend, Chad, has an Uncle Jack, whom Evan has looked up to for many many years. 'Uncle' Jack lives in Ablilene, where Evan went to ACU. This Jack made a big impact on Evan's life, so it just made sense as well.
Therefore, Jack was easy for his first name!
Robert, was a little harder to come by. I wanted to explore different middle names, but Evan was set on this one from the beignning...so I agreed! Robert is Evan's middle name and also was his grandfather's name. Robert Lawson, whom I only met briefly was said to be one of the greatest men in the Lawson family!
So, there you go, Jack Robert Lawson! He has a lot to live up to for his name, but we are certian he will!
Here is a photo from today...this was actually the first week that people have asked me 'when are you due'...when they didn't know I was pregnant. YAY for not looking fat anymore (well, sort of).
