His Name is Riley

This blog was started when Lindsey and I found out that we were expecting our first little guy (Luke). Now we're on number two. It was my intention to keep this blog updated with this pregnancy. It's a good (family) historical record. Google's servers are not very soon going to be shut down or fail, so I think this is a good place to record stuff. Plus, it's good to share what's on our minds to our friends and family who care.

Right now, I'm siting on our love seat in the office, watching Planes Fire and Rescue with Luke. Luke's eating some "pop pop" (popcorn). I'm here thinking about what we'll be expecting in May. Luke changed our lives in a huge way. This new little guy, I think, will have an equally huge impact. I haven't written as much in this blog as I have when we were expecting Luke. I think there are a few reasons why, and reasons I don't really feel like exploring. Probably just my selfishness and lack of planning. Whatever.

Here's a picture of what's happening right now:



The little guy is going to be named Riley. We're still thinking about a middle name right now. We're going to do a Spanish middle name. We're thinking Ramon, Mateo, or Miguel. Luke's middle name is Manuel, so we want to keep that trend. Anyway, we're excited. Luke's excited. Luke will sometimes try to give food to Riley via giving it to mommy. He'll say things like, "give this food to Riley, he's hungry". It's cute. I'm not sure if he completely knows what's happening in mommy's tummy, then again, neither do I. Luke does know he has a little brother growing, and that he'll meet Riley soon.

So, in case it wasn't apparent, we have a name for Riley. It's Riley. And we know that he's a baby boy. I can't wait to hold him. I can't wait to see Lindsey hold him. I can't wait for Riley and Luke to meet. I just pray for a healthy pregnancy, and that we know what to do when he gets here.
