The Name Game

So, ever since we got the news that its a boy- I feel the desperate need to name him! (And to decorate his nursery- but Justin is reigning me in on that one for a while longer- too bad he's so sane....)
Many thanks to all of you for the name suggestions so far. Katy has been lovingly placing little sticky notes with boy names on my desk, Detective Barrett helpfully suggests we name the baby after my favorite detective (hummm), my least favorite defense attorney proffered his name as a nice solid baby's name, and even Stephanie's mom is getting in on the act!
We love getting all the suggestions- we need help generating a list of names to pick from!
So far everyone at work is on the naming committee (especially Danielle who suggested "Zachary" which I love), Maggie is on, but unfortunately Alex is off (he sweetly suggested "Cougar"- which, while macho, I dont think you can find pre-printed on pencils), and Justin is teetering on the edge. I know, I know- he's the father! And lately he's been getting much better at suggesting real names (rather than ones like "Juan" which may be nice- but would be fairly odd for two very white parents- or Carlos Pierre- he's very into mix ethnicity).
Such a fun quandry!

20 Week Sonogram Pictures

Well, if you haven't heard by now, IT'S A BOY! We are very excited about this news. It makes everything even more real. Now we need to figure out a name and a baby room design. We can't wait until he is born. It's cool to say he instead of it! Here is another picture of him and then one of his 2 foot prints. We got to all of his major organs and all of his bones. The doctor said that he is doing very well!

Yep, still vomiting

Yes, I know- thats the question everyone has when they see me- I am still barfing once a day (yep, down from 1-2 times a day- wooo hooo). I did survive my first trial while asking for a vomit break- the judge granted a brief recess (explaining to jurors that sometimes, in the course of trial, things "come up")- and I trampled a minister in my rush to get to the bathroom. But I did it- and won the trial (wheww!)
Mostly I am just sooooo excited for our next doctors visit- to see the big sonogram- and maybe the sex! Justin is way more chill than I am about this- but he's excited to see the baby, too!
Jennifer, Stephanie, and I took a road trip to Phoenix and got a pregnant Maid of honor dress (I refuse to be a matron of honor)- and I'm super excited about the dress. So perhaps I will just wear that for the last month, instead of my bathing suit.... we'll see.
Thats the update- I so appreciate all the support and interest from all of you- we're so lucky to have you all!
