So during my one lull today (it was crazy today), I bounced over to OldNavy.com to see if there were any new maternity clothes.  I did see one new feature, and that was they were now giving you the option of searching by trimester.  I also noticed this:

I’m sorry.. does that say the 4th Trimester there?  FOUR trimesters?!  What in the hell?!  How long does this crap last?!

So I’m sorry.  But if I click on 4th Trimester, it sure as hell better be stocked with whiskey, coffee, crack, and soft cheeses.

The HOTTEST thing my husband has said to me in awhile:

“Keep your calendar clear for Sunday, July 29th.  We’ll make sure The Boy gets home in time.  You’re going to meet Wade Robson.”

Thanks for all the kind wishes and warm thoughts on our good news.  It was a very surreal experience to start saying “he” in reference to what has, for five months, been an “it”, but it’s a transition that we’re happy to make.

(Unless we’re around Jim Z, who firmly believes in the surprise of delivery.  SO NO ONE TELL HIM.)

We’ve narrowed down names, and there was one that I could remember after I slept for eight hours, which makes it a front-runner by default.  We’re going to try it for a week before we announce it.  See if it rolls off the tongue and all.  Our process for naming the kid basically involved word-association from our childhood.  It went something like this.

Me: He-Man
Bryan: Adam
Me: Man-E-Faces
Bryan: Cringer
Me: Ortho
Bryan: Optimus
Me: Gargamel
Bryan: Azreal
Me: Ooh!  Bruce Wayne!
Bryan: Ward.
Me: Ward?  Who’s Ward?
Bryan: I can’t remember Robin’s name.
Me: Dick Grayson.
….
Me: Harry Dick Comer.
Bryan: Sold!!

(No, we’re not seriously considering that name.  It’s damn funny though, isn’t it?)

Ole Harry Dick was quite active during and after the ultrasound yesterday.  In fact, at one point, he was so nuts that Bryan felt him kick for the first time.  It was a big day in babyland.

Unfortunately, that’s really all I have to talk about, because yesterday was incredibly baby-centric.  Maybe I’ll get back to a normal life today.  I’m back at work.. that’s a start.
