Names

Since this is going to be our family blog, and the family is currently in process of growing, I thought I'd start things off with the ultrasound of the soon-to-be newest member:



That was at 21 weeks, three weeks ago, and he is only kicking more and more now.  It makes me pretty happy.

One question we have is what to call him.  I thought announcing that the baby would be Michael Timothy III would forestall everyone having opinions on names, but that has not been the case.   We have "Mikey" (meh), "Timmy" (not bad), "Mike the Trike" from Anissa (eek, no), "Three" from my brother Mike (very postmodern), "Tres" (which I think sounds cool), and the latest nominee from my sister Theresa, "LB."  Apparently that is for "little buddy" and/or our last names.  Heh.  Well, in the meantime, I'm just calling him Michael the baby.  We can leave things undetermined for awhile yet.

UPDATE: My mother-in-law really likes "LB" :)
