And We're Naming Him...

Since we found out what we were having, the big question has been, "So, do you have a name?" And, I want to say, "Yes! We do. We picked it out almost four years ago!" But Jeff has made me wait to tell everyone what it is, since he wanted to surprise people with something. That, and we like the name and haven't wanted to hear, "Oh, I knew a kid with that name and he was a serial killer." Or, as my brother in law who has been calling our poor baby Boris for months says, "What a sissy name!" We don't care. We like it.

But, Jeff agreed that we could tell everyone at the baby shower a little while ago. I've been counting down the days when I can just blurt out, "Yes! We have name. It's Bartholomew Jackson!"

That's not really his name. I just thought I'd throw you for a loop. His name is actually

Tristan Garn

And I love that name. I've always liked it. One night when we were dating, maybe might have been engaged, but probably not, we were watching Legends of the Fall. Jeff and I agreed that we thought Tristan was awesome. Being played by Brad Pitt didn't hurt, either. That was one of those cute, giddy unmarried couple moments where you dream of your future together, and we decided that our first little boy was going to be named Tristan. His middle name, Garn, is Jeff's and my Father in Law's middle name. The joke is that it was the last name of a cute football player his Grandma had a crush on years ago. The truth is that it was the last name of a football play-ha just kidding. Garn is actually the last name of one of Utah's senators that Jeff's great Grandma really liked.

So there you have it. That's what we are naming our little love bug!!!
