Raising Fletcharia

Last night Lynette and I were talking about baby names. She really does like the name Sophie, it's just that the way the name was presented to her she's not allowing herself to like it and give in to whatever name I chose. It's a valid point.

But we were talking about all sorts of names and I realized that I would love to name our little boy... Nathan Jr. You know, after the baby from Raising Arizona. In the movie after finding out Nick Cage and Holly Hunter can't have kids of their own they steal a child from Nathan Arizona who just had quints. After the theft they are talking in the car and Nick says, "I think I got the best one. I think that's Nathan Jr." And Holly just breaks down and cries the words, "I love him so much." It's a statement in absurdity and I love it.

Is their any rule about naming your child Jr when there is no Sr to speak of?

I bargained away naming rights on this child if Lynette can find me a little boy to name Nathan Jr. It doesn't even have to be ours. We could steal it. That seems to be how this thing works anyway.

Pictures, you need pictures!

So my full intention for this blog is simply to keep everyone updated about our future child.

No name is picked as of yet (But ask Grant about his cousin Sophie) But whatever we chose her name to be, here she is in all her glory.


Our original due date was July 26th. But the doctor said on March 9th that she's looking pretty big at 14 oz and moved the due date up to July 20th (based on size and growth rate and other stuff that I don't understand) Then Lynette went back on April 6th to find that our baby has doubled in size to a whopping 1 lb 12 oz and this doctor moved her date up once again to July 15th. Looks like she feels the same that we do, can't wait to get out and see us. But I've seen dates moved around so often that I am not expecting anything. July 26th-ish is still the date I'm telling everyone.

I hate that gecko

So I have a beef. And a proposal to make advertisements more effective.

After having Time Warner cable, and seeing Time Warner Cable commercials on practically EVERY commercial break, I wondered why they are advertising to me, the guy who they know has already bought their product.

What if it worked that way. I could tell you right now that there are a few products I would buy if it meant never seeing another commercial. (You know who I'm talking about) -->

There would need to be some rules, and there are products, like Pepsi, that they would still constantly advertise, because buying one only means that they want you to buy another in a couple of hours. But other products, like a car brands, cable service, insurance, I would never have to be plagued again by that stupid little gecko! Woooo Hoooo.

Welcome to Fletcharia

Here we are. I knew I was going to do this, but I imagined that we would be here for news and information obout our lovely bundle of joy that we are expecting later.

But this is mine and not only will I include stuff about our child, but stuff about me and just all those random thoughts that come into my mind... You're welcome.
