Doctor in Training

Can you believe it?  Baby boy is ALMOST here!!!  And yes, his name is still "Baby Boy."  We've got our name list whittled down to a few, but my clever husband threw me a CURVE BALL! 

He says I can name our son WHATEVER I want if he can DELIVER THE BABY!?!?  That's right!  My NOT-QUITE-a-doctor husband wants to pretend to be my real doctor! 

 

Aaah!  I did my wifely duty, and asked my OB what her thoughts were.  Her response, "Sounds great! I'm on board!"  Am I the only one that finds this a little unnerving?  I get it, all he has to do is catch, but it's an IMPORTANT catch!

Well, I've fallen in love with a name.  And I'm assured that the doctor will be hovering inches over Cory ready to SHOVE him out of the way if need be.  Sooo....I *think* I'll let him do it!

I warm up to the idea more and more each day.  Cory has been the one to "catch" the baby before during his medical rotations...he said that it was pretty amazing knowing your hands were the first to ever touch that person.   I'd love for Cory to be the first person to hold my son.

Am I crazy for letting him do this?  Am I crazy for even hesitating about an amazing opportunity?  Goodness, I don't know. 

Still a nerd...

I saw Sadie playing with our alphabet magnets on the fridge and I realized she was getting the letters that are in her name.  She put them together but not in order.  I was curious what she understood, so I asked her how to spell "Sadie."  By golly, she told me!  "S-A-D-I-E"

 

When Sadie colors, she ALWAYS makes me write down EVERYONE'S names.   She does it to her nursery leaders too!  She comes home with pictures of Jesus and down the side it says "Sadie, Mom, Dad, Nana, Papa, Mickey, Goofy..."  So I guess that's how she picked it up!
