Call To Action: Help Us Name Baby Lump!

Okay everyone - here's the deal.� We've embarked on the third trimester of our pregnancy journey and are still at a loss for baby boy names.� James and I are pretty certain of a name if Baby Lump is a little lady, but we aren't quite in love with or agreeing upon any names if Lump is a little gentleman.

This is where you come in.� Gurgle.com has a fun little facebook application called "Name My Baby," and I've just added it to my profile.� It allows you to suggest a baby name or vote on names that have already been suggested.� Unfortunately, the application isn't without its flaws.� It will only allow users to suggest names already loaded into its database.� For example, I couldn't add Atticus (What do you think of that one, btw?� I think it's pretty awesome - "Atticus Vaughan?").� Still, I think it will be interesting to see what you all come up with.� Maybe one of you will suggest the perfect name that James and I have overlooked.� Or maybe one of you will add a name like "Thygor" and crack us up.� Either way, I think it's a win-win situation.� Remember, we're only looking for boys/unisex names here.



For those of you without facebook (or are too lazy to make the extra trip), feel free to suggest a name in this post's comments section, and I'll be sure to add it to the list on facebook.� If enough of you get involved with suggesting names, I'll add another page to the blog that outlines everyone's suggestions/votes, much like I've done with the Birth Stats page.� For now, I'll add the link to the facebook application to the blog's sidebar.

Thanks in advance for helping us name Baby Lump!

Little Baby Lump: The Next Paul Bunyan?

First of all, I'm glad to see some of you are really getting into the birth stats betting guessing facebook group.� It's been fun to track all of your (sometimes quirky) guesses.� And while I doubt I'm going to give birth to a manbearpig (I guess this is what I get for the pambearpig nickname), a demigod or Paul Bunyan, I can see where you're all coming from.� Given that James was almost 11 pounds at birth, I suppose it's not that far-fetched

Although it may not take five storks to drop off Baby Lump at my doorstep, he/she has done some growing in the past week.� Little lump should now measure about 13� 1/2 inches in length and weight approximately 1� 1/2 pounds.

What's even more intriguing is that his/her eyelids are no longer fused shut (not that Baby Lump can see anything in the darkness of the womb, anyway), and his/her lungs are now capable of breathing air!� This means that although Baby Lump is taking in tiny breaths of fluid in the womb, he/she could now breathe outside the womb without medical assistance.

You may have noticed from my baby bump photos that I've decided to start taking pictures from a full-body perspective.� Based on the fact that some of you have been questioning whether I'm actually taking photos of my knee and not my belly, I figured it was time for a change.� I think you will all get a better idea of how big Baby Lump is getting from this perspective.

Maybe you'll all also agree that Baby Lump is definitely not Paul Bunyan material.
