his name.

It's tempting to have a dozen of kids just so we can name them. Except three is enough for us. For now. For sure. And it has been so fun coming up with a name for each one. Somehow by every twenty-week ultrasound, when the gender is revealed, we always have a name ready, boy or girl. Audrey was going to be a Jackson, and Naomi would have been Nolan. This time around if we were having a girl she would have been Violet. (Someone use that name, I just love it.)

But, since He is in fact, a BOY (eek!), we have come up with (what I think) is the perfect boy name. If we are friends on Facebook (which I hope we are), then you got to see the most adorable video of Audrey revealing her brother's name. [I'm having trouble uploading it onto here, sorry.]

For now on, instead of calling him boy or baby #3 on here, he will be known as...

LINCOLN WAYNE

Don't you just love it? I'm bias, but I think it is a pretty teriffic name. I like how strong it sounds. We picked Lincoln after going through quite a bit of boy names. I wanted something classic and easy to pronounce (I grew up with a name being read wrong 75% of the time, so I didn't want that for my kiddos). Some other picks of mine (not necessarily Andrew's) were Jasper and Porter. His middle name, Wayne, is a family name, the middle name of Andrew, his dad, and his grandpa. We are up for calling him Linc as well for a nickname.

There is little Lincoln, 22.5 weeks along!


I can't believe I'm more than half way done. Sometimes I get quite excited about it and then other times I'm like, whoa, slow down pregnancy I'm not ready for another one yet. This week has been quite hormonal for me with my patiences running thin. I thought I was suppose to be in the energetic/nesting stage right now, but apparently I'm still really tired all the time. I'm hoping something kicks in soon, I have a lot to do before little Lincoln arrives!

What a perfect name! Lincoln is going to be such a cool little dude! Violet is an awesome name, too. We must have very similar tastes in names because I adore all your kiddo names. Hope you get a nap today! :)

Yay! I love his name, Abra! The nickname Linc is perfect, too! I have a friend with a Jackson and Violet. :)

Love the nickname Linc! I love that your boy names changed each time. Our girl names did. Luke would've been a Julia, Tommy an Ellie.

Perfect :) You are seriously the CUTEST preggo momma ever. Lincoln looks like a cute little ball under there! It makes his arrival that much more exciting when you know who he'll be :) And how blessed he is to have two sweet big sisters! He may have to endure dress up but he'll be a great husband and daddy because of it one day . . . can't wait to see his cute little face!

PS I'll think of new names and grieve that I won't have a baby to give it to! My fave girl name right now is Esme. And for a boy I like Enzo. Something about E I guess!

LOVE LINC! I'm so excited for you, Abra! Boys are so much fun, and when a baby boy puts his arms up for you to pick him up and hug him? It's seriously heart-melting.
