Nolan Francis Thackeray

Houston...we have a name!!! After the shock of a third boy wore off...and the excitement of the 3D ultrasound, we've finally come up with a name that we love!! Francis is my Dad's middle name, and really the only name we considered that sounded good and 'went with' our other children's names!! I can't wait for this little peanut to be here!! Though if he's anything like my other babies, he's not going to be 'little'!! I give birth to half grown men, no lie!! I have yet to buy the bassinet/cradle for our room. Liam is still sleeping in his crib, and I've more or less abandoned any plans to move him to a 'big boy bed' at this point. Bottom line, the kid is NOT good with change. So I'll let him dictate (to a certain extent) when he's ready. And besides, our master bedroom is HUGE so a cradle and change table in there aren't going to be taking much space! AND, as ridiculous as it sounds, I can always turn our walk in closet into a pseudo nursery. So for the time being, there will be no newborn nursery in our house. Not sure how I feel about THAT, but I'm not willing to move Spencer into a basement bedroom, and I don't think the older boys are ready to share a room. So poor little Nolan gets the short end of the stick and take the closet as a bedroom!!
