first pics of the new baby

 We've made all the announcements on Facebook and talked to our families so now it's time to journal this pregnancy via blogger.  We are having another baby!  We are excited again and felt very clearly when it was time to have another baby.  We also felt very strongly that this would be a baby girl, Adam even had a name picked out an everything!  But guess what?

It is most definitely NOT a baby girl, but an obvious and undeniable baby boy!  What?!?!?  

To say we were surprised would be an understatement.  I still feel like I don't know what to do with boys!  I love Samuel so much, and I know another boy will be a great learning experience--but I still feel like there's so much to worry about with boys.  Probably the opposite of most moms I know.  Still, we are excited and I know Samuel is going to LOVE having a little brother.  

Names we are considering at this time are 

NOAH, ISAAC, and KIMBALL

Names I love, but I don't think would work are

CARTER, CARSON (too much like Carlie), PATRICK (can we use it if we aren't Irish?) JONAH (I don't like the JJ in Jonah Jardine) and AUSTIN (feels too trendy?)

I am settled on the middle name ADAM, but Adam isn't quite sold yet.  We've got time, my due date is 

April 30th, with baby most likely scheduled for April 15th.
