Friday is the day!!

Friday morning at 7:30 our baby boy will be here! I can't believe the time has already come. On one hand it seems like it has taken forever but on the other it feels like time has flown by. We are all excited to get him here and can't wait to see who he looks like. Brig has been counting down the days. The first thing he has been asking in the morning is how many more days until the baby comes. He and Kanton are both so excited. I'm not sure Kanton really realizes that a baby will be coming home with us from the hospital but surely it will sink in pretty quickly! When we ask Kanton what the baby's name is going to be he says baby brudder or baby Jack, his newest cousin's name. Which leads me to my next topic....we have NO idea what we are going to name this baby. Ray and I cannot agree on anything for a first or middle name. I'm really worried about what it is actually going to be (especially since Ray has informed me that he is going to do the naming, OH MY)! So.....if you have any good names PLEASE give us some good ideas, we are in serious need!

I'm getting nervous about having surgery but having been through it twice before I know it will be okay. It is just a little scary to think about. I'm just ready to get him here and not have to deal with being pregnant anymore, yay! Friday will come soon though and I have lots I still want to get done. But I will post pictures as soon as I can!

Oh Hallie! I am SO excited for you! I can't wait to see him! I hope everything goes well and you recover quickly!

Good luck with choosing a name. Names are hard--especially boy names. I go for names that are at least 100 years old, and you go for much more creative names, so I won't suggest any;) But I know you guys will come up with something cool!

Good luck with it all!

Yay Hallie I cant Wait to meet the next little Cowboy Turley!! Good luck with everything! Do I get to take New born pictures for you? Good luck with the name thing. Bobby picked Jarinns first name and I picked his middle and the other way around with Mason. But I guess that wont work if you dont agree on any names. I know you will come up with something cute.

How exciting. I will be thinking about you on Friday.

I had planned on nameing my girls (if they would have been a boy) Brayden Jarrett. Sadly I won't ever get to use it. Good luck on coming to a compromise. We had a very hard time coming up with Kylie's name. We actually had 2 names picked out and waited until she was here to make our decision.

I'm so excited for you Hallie and can relate in so many ways as well. Tommy and I are having a terrible time picking out this boy's name and I also can relate with anticipating the surgery part. Even though you've been through it before, it doesn't make it any easier - in fact, maybe worse. You know exactly what to expect and all the risks that come with it. I'll be having my 4th one in about 8 weeks. It'll be fine though, most of my apprehension comes from hormones I think anyway.

Good luck with the name choosing - I know you guys will come up with something great! I'll be thinking about you.

Good luck on Friday. I hope you even have more luck with the name!!!

Yay! I am so excited for you to finally have your wee man here. I hope everything goes well for you, I can't wait to see pictures. Good luck choosing the name - James and I are both hopeless at it, and usually leave it down to the wire to choose a name!
Anyways, I'll be thinking of you. xx

You're probably going to get the "name nazi" lady on your bad side! We didn't have a name for Kamri and that crazy lady kept coming in my room (like 10 times a day) asking me if I had a name yet! I was so mad at her. (Being post-partum doesn't help that any.) I just kept telling her I would let her know when I finally decided. We finally agreed on Kamri about 2 hours before I got home. I hope the name nazi is nicer to you than she was to me.

I know how you feel about the surgery. Just have faith, it will all work out and you will have that adorable baby in your arms in NO time! I can't wait to see him. Our thoughts are with you. Good luck!

Hallie I called Dr. Tindall and explained to him that I'm still sick and it doesn't look like i will be well enough to see litte "HT" so we decided to just reschedule you to next friday at like 7:30 p.m. because that really worked for me. hope you are ok with that. But seriously I had to hold back tears when I woke up yesterday with an eye infection and ear infection and cough still! I am really bummemed I can't come see you on Friday, but it's so much better then getting your little guy or you all sick huh. Hopefully I can come really really soon though! Good luck and I will make mom keep me informed!

I thought about you yesterday when I drove by the hospital. I hope that all went well and he's strong and healthy! Boys are so much fun. Mike and I really thought we wanted a girl until Gavin came, and then it all seemed right. Good luck with the names. We held off until he was born to decide too. You'll just know what will be right! Congrats!
