I Have a Name!

0 comments
After almost 39 weeks, my Mommy and Daddy have finally named me! They started off with a list of about 27 names and narrowed it down to the one they thought was "it". Then, to confuse the situation even further, they changed their minds and came up with a few others!

Well, weeks passed and they still couldn't figure out what to name me. In hopes that all I was waiting to enter this world for was a name, they decided to finally hunker down and choose a name! So, Thursday January 22nd, they printed out the names 10 times each and put them in a bowl. They let my big sister, Haleigh, draw the names and they did three rounds of a "Best of 3". It came down to the final round and "Benjamin" won! My middle name is after my Daddy's Dad, my Grandpa.

So, I'm officially, Benjamin James. Well, I guess not officially because I have to be born first!
Here is my big sister drawing the names:

My Very Own Room!

I'm not even born yet, but my Mommy and Daddy have already set up my very own room. I'm glad I won't have to share a room with my sister because it's pretty girlie! I just know I'm going to love it when I arrive... My room is also sort of a memorabilia room for my Daddy. It is filled with collectibles that he has gathered over the years. He is a big sports fan and has hundreds of autographs from various players over time. It will be fun to share in his hobby when I'm older!
