First I'm *doing a little dance with my big, pregnant, belly* because my ticker is in SINGLE digits!! We are so excited to meet our SON!
With that said... we STILL haven't made a definite decision on a name for him! We thought we were set on one but then last night DH came home and said "what about...". It was another that I had mentioned months ago. We like all 3 choices so we may wait to see him before deciding but I thought a name poll would be fun. Looking forward to seeing your opinions...
Re: Vote on baby name choices
I can't believe you will have your son by the end of this month (hopefully sooner!) What a ride this year has been for you! I'm still a fan of Ethan, too.....or maybe Eddie.
Any progress at your last appointment?
I voted for Grayson.
Preston was my second choice. There was a baseball player at ASU whose name was Preston, but he went by Petey. I thought it was cute.
I have to be honest, I thought of Elton John (the singer) when I read Ethan John. Having said that, DS's middle name is Marley (a combo of all four of his grandparent's names). DH loved it, and I convinced myself that it was fine because he'd rarely use his middle name. Now that he's here, I love the name combo and that's just who he is (if that makes any sense).
9 days...hooray! I voted for Grayson. I love all the names, but I know a Grayson who is the cutest stinking kid, so I'm partial! All the names are great, so no matter which you choose, the name will be great!
John and I can't decide either. We're torn between Olivia Grace and Ella Grace. I told John we're going to have to see what she looks like when she comes out before we decide....so....he's been calling her "Slimey Winkles Blue Baby". (Forgive me if I already told you this story!) Sounds like you might have a "Slimey" too! Enjoy the next few weeks!
LOL, Emily! That is quite a name that he's chosen for her
I don't think this baby will ever be able to get away from some referring to him as Eddie. Matt has been referring to him as that since before he was the size of a blueberry and we had no idea that he was a boy.
Olivia has been our favorite girl name for years. It's become very popular but is still on our girl list. I like both Olivia and Ella ... and will be anxious to hear what you decide!!

Thanks for voting ladies!! Seems Ethan is the most popular choice over here. I posted this on SAIF this morning too and all 3 names are about tied at 30-some percent on that poll.
PAAZWife, I never even thought of Elton John, how funny! DH loves to shorten that choice to EJ, which I really like too. We'll see.
Jill, I don't think I'll ever forget you calling him Eddie the blueberry
You know it's grown on me but I just can't do it. Oh and not much progress as of my dr appt on Monday. I'm not dilated at all but about 50% effaced. Thank goodness he's still head down. Lots of BH contrax and cramps though.

Wow, you are so close! How are you doing?
I voted for Ethan. For some reason, I like names that start with vowels. And I think EJ is a great nickname.
Good luck!
Hey Christina! I'm jumping in super late here, but just wanted to say congrats! Wow, it seems like just yesterday that I watched that video of you telling your DH : )
I also voted for Grayson. For some reason I love it, although all of the choices are nice. EJ is nice too!?
GL!!?
