Dearest Stormageddon,
Your papa and I went to the doctor this past week for one of our favorite things--an ultrasound! We only get to do this twice during pregnancy. The first time is to make sure that you're there and growing OK around 7 or 8 weeks. This time, at 20 weeks, we get to see your little face and find out if you're a boy or girl. We were a bit nervous, and didn't know what to expect. Needless to say, the name we'd picked out won't work--I don't think the other boys on the playground would be very nice to a boy named "Gwen."
This was exciting--we went out the next day, actually, and ordered bunk beds for you and your brother to share once you're a bit older (but Tristan needed a big boy now, so he'll be using one of them until you're ready to join him!) We started looking for a better name for you as well. We wanted something not too crazy, but Gaelic, Celtic, or Welsh in origin (much like your brother), a time-tested name and not too high on the top baby names list. We asked Tristan what he thought and he said "Dragon!" We thought that was a bit too...unusual.
Your brother likes to tell us "Yes, okay" a lot when we give him choices instead of actually choosing something. This is why when we asked him about two (real) possibilities, your papa and I were REALLY surprised that he chose one. It may not be what we end up naming you, but if it is,...it's pretty neat to think that your brother knew you that well even before you were born that he played a part in naming you.
Most days, he's not sure about having a baby in the house as he really likes having his mama's full attention. He does love playing with Sean, a 1-year-old playmate at church and the babysitter's house, though, so I think he'll be pretty excited when you're here. I'm worried that you two will get into a lot of trouble though!
Your room isn't close to ready yet, but we have started working on it and picking out decorations. Your papa loves airplanes and can't wait to add a few to your room soon :D
We love you, and we can't wait to meet you and play with you in about 5 months!
Love,
Your mama
