A name is just a name right?

Okay so we had the ultrasound a couple of weeks ago and we found out the sex of the baby.

Now according to Brent's brother Bryon we were having a girl. (He has 3 girls and 1 boy). Jealousy I think

Mark has one of each. He really didn't weigh in on what he thought we were having.

Will has 2 girls, 3 boys and 1 boy on the way (Congrats Kristy!) they didn't say either

Nate has 3 girls. Amy and I talked a lot about babies when I saw her but I don't recall her saying what we were having. Sorry Amy if you did :)

So here we come to Brent and Katie. We had a girl, then boy, then girl. So we were both happy with whatever we were having but I had a feeling we were having a girl. Brent thought boy. (for the record we have both been wrong every pregnancy so this was a big step) Someone had to be right.

Well we are alternating again. We are having a boy! We are both very excited. We alternated each pregnancy which is really abnormal according to the doc. but whatever!.

Now for the name:

These are the 3 we like the most

1)James Jackson (aka J.J. or Jackson)
2)James Braden (aka Brady)
3)James Logan (Logan)

We will have James as a first for sure (each kid has been named somewhere after someone) James is Brent's first name, his dad's first name and his grandad's first name.

We took a poll and James Jackson is winning out.

So we are very excited to say that our baby will be called Jackson or J.J.

Thank you everyone for your input. We really appreciate it.

They are all cute,
I like Jackson best. Since I have a nephew named Braydon. And am from the land of Logan.
I doubt I could call him J.J. But I promise not to call him Jack!

Maybe you'll just have to wait and see what the kid looks like most?

Good luck!

Congrats Katie! How fun! My vote is for James Jackson also... sounds presidential almost! I like the nickname J.J. also. You are way ahead of me as far as names... I have a huge list that I can't seem to narrow down! EEK! Guess I might have to see my lil baby girl before she gets her name!!

I think Jackson is my favorite also. I am not sure if I will call him Jimmy Jack but JJ will work. Or I might just call him Jackson. My second favorite is Logan.

hey, I like the new background to your blog. The green and brown remind me of mint-chocolate!
