Baby Boy Bergeson

Well, we had another ultrasound today and luckily, the baby was cooperative. It's a boy! We are soooo excited and can't wait for him to get here. We know for sure his middle name will be James like Blake and Blake's dad. We are still thinking about first names. So far we have Jonathan James (after my dad, John) and Peter James (Blake wants a Scandinavian name--he wants Magnus--I told him over my dead body). This child does not cease to move. He even did a flip when the dr. was doing the ultrsound. I am hoping (ok, praying) that this child is more like his daddy. So far, everything indicates the baby is healthy. We are so grateful! (I am not a spring chicken, you know). :)

Okay, Blake here...just to give everyone some background on the reasoning behind my desire to name a son Magnus :)
Magnus is a power name which means "big" or "great". Bergeson is the Swedish name for "Son of Berg" or "Son of Mountain". So I thought it would be a good idea to name a son, Magnus - Big... Son... of Mountain... (yoda-style). The name Magnus also runs in the family. I still like it :)


OK--Jennifer again. I don't know who Blake is calling a mountain, but I just have one thing to say about that--Bergeson is my married name, so the mountain thing does not apply to me (ok, well maybe right now in my "state" but not normally). And I sure do not want to have a BIG baby, so no Magnus--and maybe we should change Bergeson to Gustafson. At least that would mean son of "royal staff or staff of the gods". I am not a mountain. Love you Blakey po Blakey.

successful surgery

Well, Blake is home and recovering nicely from his out-patient surgery. He had an umbilical hernia repaired that he has had since he was a baby. It was so fun to see him a bit "loopy". For the first time in our marriage he told both my mom and dad he loved them and couldn't say enough good about everyone he saw. He flirted with the nurses, kept telling joke after joke, was constantly asking me who else was going to come see him and apologized every few minutes for making me have to do things for him. :) And, he is also wearing some beautiful white nylons that the hospital gave him. Remember he is a metrosexual after all. . . . :)

Finally!
