With just two weeks left before I have to push this baby out, everyone -- family, friends, and total strangers alike -- wants to know, What are you going to name him? The short answer is: We just don't know!
If it helps ease your agony any, we're just as frustrated by the situation as you are. Really. No bull. While I have always felt that I need to see the baby to really know what the right name is, I'd feel a hell of a lot better if I at least had a finalized list of possibilities at this point. As it is, I seem to keep adding new ideas to the mix, changing my mind about others, and just generally driving myself crazy as I lie awake in between late-night bathroom trips. (And in case you're keeping track, I think I went FIVE times last night. I mean, I know this baby is really low now and pressing on my bladder full-force, but COME ON!)
So, if any of you are wondering how you can be helpful to us in the final days before our re-entry into parenthood, then by all means, name our baby, please! If things aren't sorted out soon, we're going to have to fall back on the name that we told everyone early on just to mess with all of you: Gulliver Cromwell -- "Gully" for short. You don't want that one on your conscience, do you? I didn't think so. So get to work, people!
