20 weeks and counting!!!

Updating just to update! LOL! Today marks 20 weeks!! Now for those of you that might be tracking this closely and has kept up to date on the due date, you might be wondering why I am posting today. That is because they moved my due date from the 9th to the 7th. I didn't find it to be that big of a deal, but the Dr. said the ultrasound gives the most accurate due date. So it has been changed. Does it really matter? No. The baby will most likely not come on that day, after all only 5% of expectant mothers give birth on there actual due date.



So there have been questions on his name. We have no problem sharing this because I am not worried of anyone stealing it, and I know everyone will be nice. Even if you don't like the name you will be nice because that is the socially appropriate thing to do. So anyway his name is:

John Carl Driskill IV

That's right, he will be the fourth!!! So now you are thinking are we going to call him John? Perhaps John Junior? Or perhaps will use initials? All of these thoughts will be incorrect. Not going to call him John, because John is John or to his family he is JC. Which means we are not using initials either, mainly because John doesn't like initials. And John Junior is just too much. So what name will we say everyday for the rest of his life, or until he tells us otherwise?

Carl

John's grandfather, the original John Carl Driskill, went by Carl. He unfortunately never got the opportunity to meet his grandfather. But his aunt created this amazing book that goes over the genealogy of his family. With that comes pictures, I like old black and white pictures. There is a picture (a few actually) of his grandfather and he seemed like a wise, confident, intelligent man. And I think it would be nice to have the name Carl back in the family. Anyway the point I am making is the name Carl is good name that isn't used too much anymore. It's a strong name. It also means strong one. And in my personal opinion I don't think they are talking neccesarily about physical strength. I think they are talking about character. So anyway that is what our little boy's name!!
