The Boy without a Name (BWAN)

For those of you wondering if I have gestational diabetes with this pregnancy, the answer is no. I don't know if the difference is the lower starting weights for the most recent two pregnancies or just that my body is used to the placental hormone causing gestational diabetes. Whatever the difference, I'm glad about it.

So, everything is going okay with BWAN. The date for the c-section is October 3rd. I would have liked him being born before the public school cut off date of Sept. 30th, but having my mother (and father?) around to take care of the girls is more important than a date 5 years down the road. There's a chance I'll go into spontaneous labor before that day, but we and the OB are comfortable with that chance. And, no, I'm not waiting for my grandmother's birthday on the 4th of that month. I know one of you is thinking that. I know it.

And, as the title implies--we still do not have a name chosen. We are now focusing more on possible names than on the absolutely not going to name him that list. No, I will not share the list of possibles. Call me selfish, but this is our decision to make. I'm conflicted enough without outside editorial comments.

Who is giving you such a hard time about naming BG ? Honestly. If someone is - you just let me know I am will cyberbully them ( I recently read an article on this and am prepared to follow through ) until they back off. Of course it is your decision. Editorial comments or not. I love looking at names, saying them out loud, seeing what they mean, etc. There are so many possibilities. You could spend forever making a selection. It's fun. I promise not to editorialize. I love you remember ???
