We have a name!

We finally have a name for our little guy! He will be Braylen Brant Vanous (or Braylon - we aren't 100% sure on the spelling!). I am so excited that we can call him by something other than little monkey! I think I am most happy about the fact that neither Andy or I feel like we compromised to make the other one happy. We both really love the name and are super excited to share it with everyone. Brant is after my brother so I am also really excited to honor him by giving my 1st son his name!

Braylen's nursery is almost finished too! I can't wait to post photos of the completed room. It is turning out even better than I imagined. I just can't believe that in about 3 months we will be using it! Wow - this whole pregnancy seems to have flown by. I feel really lucky that it has been uneventful so far. I feel good (for the most part) and I think Braylen does too. He kicks me ALL of the time! It is really awesome!!!

Say a little prayer...

...for my friends. In the last few days I have had 2 wonderful women in my life go through some really difficult times with their pregnancies and births. One lost both of her twin girls. The other's little girl has complications and has been admitted to the pediatric unit. It makes me so thankful for the fact that my little guy is doing well. I have been praying for them every day. It just sucks that such horrible things happen to such wonderful people. Sometimes God's plan doesn't make a lot of sense.
