We have a name!

On Christas Day, Sean and I (OK, actually Sean, because I was way too chicken) announced the name we chose for our son.   Sean's dad had the same initals... so we chose this name with his memory in mind.


 

Carson Lane Hale

What was the first response... "Carson Daley!"  (No.... Carson Hale, thank you for mentioning it though.)  We like it, and our families like it.  Hopefully he will too!



Today, I decided to get ready for the hospital.  Technically, we could go any day here, so I want to be prepared.  Plus, I'm getting pretty excited/nervous/totally freaked out and need something productive to do.  So, after church and bagels Mom and my sisters and I went to JCPenny to buy some hospital type things.  I got the least sexy nightgown EVER.  And, very probably, the same zipper-up robe as thousands of grandmothers around the US.  What's really funny about it... I love them!  They are super comfy and mommyish and I can't wait to wear them and hold my sweet little baby!!!

I also got some really practical cotton undies and socks as well as a nursing bra.  I also got Carson some cute little footed sleepers, socks, ands pants.  He'll be so handsome, I'm sure! 

On the way home I stopped at Target and got more practical items to pack in my hospital bag.  I picked up diapers and wipes and just about every travel sized toiletry in the store.  I now feel pretty good about this part of the journey, at least.  I may be in for some serious pain and gross experiences, but at least I have a mini travel tooth brush and a tiny deodorant to make things easier.
