Baby Name and Birthday Party!!


Aaron celebrated his 30th birthday yesterday and I have planned him a party for this Saturday, the 29th. We invited all of his office and our friends. Also, Kolie (my sister) is coming out to see us for the long weekend. I have been frantically cleaning the house to get ready for the party and for Kolie's arrival. I see now why they say that you clean before you have the baby. I think it is that the cleaning gives your muscles a nice warm up and gets them ready for the birthing. Whatever the case, I can tell I'm getting ready to meet my new baby. We still have not decided on a name for our little guy and while I thought we had settled on Ryder, Tricen, or Holt with Wegner as the middle name - the plan has now changed; or at least taken a detour. I like the name Donald after my father and was telling Aaron that we could use Donald instead of Wegner in our son's name. Aaron then pointed out that if we used a name starting with C for his first name and Donald for his middle name then he would have the same initials as Aaron's dad. We thought that was pretty cool if we could make it work. Problem is - I just haven't found a C name to fall in love with. I really like names that no one else has - especially if we go with Donald as a middle name - and that makes it super hard because C names seem to be popular. We have been racking our brain and we've got our family working on it too, but still no luck. I like some of the suggestions, but haven't found the one I love yet. Maybe going with Wegner is a better idea! I'm posting a picture of my belly from this past weekend. We spent a lot of time in the Poudre Canyon and Aaron especially liked how huge this outfit made me look so insisted I pose for pictures.

Baby Pool - wanna win some money!?!

So some have asked about a Baby Birthday Pool, Aaron has set one up at his office if you are interested.

Here’s how it goes:
- $2.00 a block or 6 for $10.00 (pick a date and time, 1 hr increments) The brackets go from May 24th to June 22nd.
- First come, First Serve on blocks, no doubling up. Closest or exact pick takes it. Sorry for those that are not here in the office to see the hard copy, but I have added a spreadsheet below so you can see the available dates. I will make every attempt to update it regularly.
- Winner gets 1/2 and the other 1/2 goes to Baby Wilburn.
- If there is a tie with two people choosing the two hours on either side of the actual birth block, instead of using the closest down to the actual minute, the tie will be closest weight so give me your best guess on that too.
- We aren't setting a closing date, but betting ends when we leave for the hospital!!

Let the betting begin!!! Check the available dates below and email or call Little Star or Aaron with your picks.
