The Baby's Name Is...

We still don't know!!! We had Addi's name picked out long before we knew she was a girl. In fact, we had the first name picked out before we even found out we were pregnant...and maybe the middle name too. So I am clueless as to why it is taking us so long to name our baby boy. I'm actually starting to stress a little about it. You see when I was younger, we had a cat (actually my parents still have him). I was in charge of naming him and I couldn't decide on a name, so in the interim we called him, "Kitty." That name stuck. Can't you just see us calling our son, "Boy." That would be terrible. We considered letting Addi name him, but her favorite word is "Dada, dada, dada, dada." If we're going to do that, we may as well just name him Jared Jr. This is not going to happen because neither of us want our son to EVER be called Jr. How hillbilly can you get? Then we thought about Garrett, but that's too close to Jared. Addi and Daddy already rhyme and I can't have Jared and Garrett, too. What about Mommy??? But all we can think of to rhyme with Mommy is Tommy and nope, we don't like that either. We think we've narrowed it down to 3 choices, but I like one name better, Jared likes another name better and I'm not really sure why we still have the third name in the running. And so, we wait...and think...and drive each other bananas thinking up names that the other one doesn't like. At least we will be able to tell our son that we put LOTS of thought into his precious name. :)
