The Brain Storm

so we have been told by many that the name game takes the longest..... 

and that we should have started a long time ago with looking for a name.... 

i was putting it off till we knew what baby is ( boy/ girl) so we decided to

 play a little game! write down as many names as you can in 5 minutes. 

After we did that we looked up what the names mean and scratched 

some but the list goes on... we did boy and girl names and came up with this list:

we had a hard time with girl names we had a lot of the same ideas..... 

next time we will be looking for japanese and hawaiian names.... for 

the boy names in japanese we want to use the sei kanji that is in my 

dads name and a lot of the men in our family... looks like this 政 i think

 it means goverment/ law or something in japanese not sure if it had 

other meanings in Okinawan. We are still looking around for any names 

so if you have ideas let us know or if you know other meanings to the 

names above let us know!

hi (from tara)

thank you for caring about me! i thought i would show you how 

me and baby have been.... "growing" hehehe!

our first ultra sound at 16 weeks january 31 2011

feb 7 2011, feb 16 2011 (month 5) and feb 25 20011

second ultrasound they think its a girl cause they cant see anything.... but they made me read a disclaimer about that .... my confidence dropped a bit... and everyone keeps saying it looks like I'm having a boy... Ian's pretty sure it's a girl .... me about 75% sure it's a girl just hard to be hundred percent when the doctor tells you not to be...
