And he will be named...

Jameston Winters. We have already picked out our little fella's first name, even though it will be over four months, if all goes as planned, until we meet him. I have been set on his name for some time now, and I joke with Brett that when I locked in the name Winters, all of my eligible baby names (I had a list) had to make the "does it go well with the last name Winters" cut! I think it goes great, but I may be partial :)

We have chosen this name for several reasons (if you want all the specifics, let me know), but the main reason is that he will be named after my grandfather, James Stewart. My Papa passed away when I was four-years-old, and even though I was young, I still remember sitting on his lap a majority of the time when we were visiting my grandparents. We were partial to each other, maybe because I am the oldest grandchild on my dad's side. He was a wonderful man, and we miss him greatly. I feel honored that our first child's namesake will be after my grandfather.

Of course, we could name him James, but I wanted to be all creative and come up with a unique version. So, I thought of all the other names out there that end in "ton" (Ashton, Peyton, Kingston, Colton, the list could go on). Also, I love names that can be abbreviated, so we can call him James for short. I foresee myself singing James Taylor's "Sweet Baby James" to him while rocking him to sleep...

Since I came up with the first name (and luckily Brett liked it), he will be deciding our little guy's middle name. Stay tuned for that!
