We loved every minute we spent with Jaylene over the Thanksgiving weekend. Amy even conned her into coming an extra day. Amy created some story about a huge blizzard coming to Utah and that the roads were going to be horrible, I don't know what other lies she told Jaylene, but it worked. She came a day earlier. One of the many reasons we were excited to have Jaylene come was to find out the gender of the baby. The previous week she had an ultra sound and learned the gender of the baby, but she would not tell us. She sent some cards in the mail but they only toyed with us. When she arrived at our home she brought with her some ultra sound pictures and a gift basket and a card that told us she is having a baby BOY.
Other important events that happened over the Thanksgiving holiday was that both of our families got to meet Jaylene. She is so easy going that she fit in well with Amy's relatively small family and my large chaotic family. On our way home from Thanksgiving dinner we had a brainstorming session on what name to give this precious BOY. So far we have come up with Ma#%!*(*, or Jo#%$&, or maybe even Pa^&^^. Amy wouldn't let me put the entire names up for fear some other pregnant person in the family would take them. It's happened before, but seeing as we have none of our own yet it's first come first served. The brainstorming session was fun. I think we listed every name possible, at least everyone we went to high school with.
Also, we have officially chosen the theme of "safari" for this little boys life. I sleep peacefully now that we have the theme picked out. Maybe we should name him after Steve Irwin.
