Baby Name

It looks like we have a baby name that we are actually sticking to this time. Yesterday I just got fed up with calling the baby "Baby". I felt like I was talking to a baby I don't even know or something. So I called Jay and told him that he could name the baby as long as I get to name our next boy, if we have another boy in the future. I really just wanted Jay to feel involved in some part of this pregnancy since I get to have all the experiences and he doesn't. So Jay wants to name the baby Shea John Gerken. Shea is Irish and means "hawk-like". Some other meanings I found were "majestic", "admirable", "graceful", "free", and "courageous". It's also the name of the Mets old stadium, Shea Stadium.

This is what Jay wrote on his blog:

"With just under two months to go before the arrival of my little dude we have decided on a name...

Shea John Gerken

Shea is an Irish name and means: Hawk-like or majestic; an Irish family name and the name of New York's Shea Stadium.

Everyone knows I'm a huge Mets fan and not the avid watcher of birds so you can guess how the name came to be.

John is both of our grandfather's names so it just felt like it would be a nice fit for the middle name.

And Gerken is my last name...pretty easy decision on that!"

So that's that for now!
