Possible baby names

We still have not decided on a name, but we have a few on the top of the list. Let us know what you think. We only have four days left until this unnamed child is born!

Gaius's first word!

About a month ago, Gaius said his first official word. "Up!" with emphasis on the P. He uses his word a lot and is very persistent when he wants to be held. He probably has a few other words now, but it is always a trick to figure out what they are. He says "Mamamamamama", but that seems to be to get the attention of any adult, not just me. I'm sure he'll figure it out soon. He seems to be saying "Papa" more frequently, so he may have caught on already.

Gaius also likes to sit on the potty. He hasn't figured out how to do anything yet, but he sees Dante up there and wants to give it a try. Dante is almost potty trained. We are still working on consistency, going independently, and going "number 2". He can do everything some of the time, now it's just getting him to do it all of the time. He is only in diapers at night now and even then, sometimes he wakes up dry. It's nice to only have one child to change diapers on during the day. Well, for the next two weeks anyway, then we are back to two in diapers!

I am doing well. Getting down to the end now. One week and four days from today (if the baby doesn't come sooner), we will be heading to the hospital for a c-section. Still no name yet. Maybe we will just call him "Brother" since that's what I call him when I'm talking to Dante and Gaius. I've told a few people that if we were to have a fourth boy after this one, we wouldn't even bother to try to find a name, I would just stick with "Baby-Boy-Anguiano". So much easier than trying to find names!

I guess that's about it for now. Next post will probably be pictures of the new baby!
