Polling the students

So once again I decided to poll this round of students to see what gender they think the Baby T-Rex is. Our votes came out 34 for girl and 82 for boy. Most people I have spoken with think this is a little boy thrashing around inside of me, I thought I would have a good idea, but I really don't.

I also asked the students for name recommendations just to see what they could come up with. Most of the students were not as wild as I thought they would be and a couple of them actually picked names that Matt and I are thinking about. Some of my favorite (funny) names follow:

Admiral Awesome Howard
Optimus Prime Howard
Cleaveland Howard (from the Family Guy)
Juan Javier Esteban Julio Howard
Chantz Howard

and my personal favorite from a student name Gerald...

Gerald Jr. Howard...

I think I will have to explain to him exactly why one would be called a junior...

Feel free to send on your recommendations...while we feel we are pretty set on a few names, we like to hear other options!

Hahaha! When we polled our youth group students when due with Liam, all the boys picked their own names. Seems like a male thing.

I might go back on my original guess of a boy. Not sure yet though. Either way, you'll have lots of fun!

And on your belly painting, I think you should put a little red dot on all the cities you've visited and put a little heart for Durham. :-)

No, you can't have Optimus Prime! That's our future baby name! :-)
