Ready and Waiting

I've never been prepared and ready for a baby before, I've always felt like I would have time and that it was too early to get things in order. For my first two pregnancies, that was not the case...They both came at a complete surprise, one at 38 weeks and the other at 36 weeks--I was caught with things half done or not done at all. This time I wasn't going to let that happen, I was going to ready...totally ready--not just have the house cleaned and all the baby stuff out, but I've even had time to let someone take maternity pictures of me, something I've never done before. Some say you should treat every pregnancy and baby like it could be your last (I'm not saying I'm done) and I feel like I've really tried to make this one special. It would be easy not to since it's my third boy, but I've done some real special things for him that I'm real happy about. Now for the first time I'm waiting with nothing really to do before this little one gets here except get more excited to see him and how he will be received by his big brothers.
Just like the others, we never have a set name for our baby until we finally meet him. We do have a small list of names we like, but if any of you out there have a favorite boy name you would like us to consider that would go well with our current names (Maxton and Seth) please put them in your comments.
The longest I have to wait is two weeks (my due date is the 26th), but maybe this little one will show himself soon. We are so excited to see you little baby Hale...come out, come out, whenever you can!

No belly pictures for us???
Hmmmm....I'm thinking a good strong name for the third Hale boy.
Something like....Grady? Doesn't that sound strong? He would go far with a name like that. :)

Get a measuring tape and measure that baby all the way around in your tummy. The kids and I still laugh about me being 49 inches around with Lizzie!!! Whew-ee.

If he is born on March 24 you should name him Brian. =) Good Luck! We are so excited to see pictures of the new little one when he arrives!

I was hoping for belly pictures too! Pregnant bellies are beautiful. I think Bryson sounds strong and masculine with Seth and Maxton. Good luck with the delivery! I hope sooner than later. Props to you for being ready.
