Still Waiting for Paxton

Yes, I am still pregnant and we have decided on the name Paxton. I found a list online of the top ten baby names for 2008. It had recommendations for substitutions to the popular names. One of the top 10 was Jackson (a name we really like) and one of the substitutions was Paxton which means "Peace." When I suggest a name Greg usually says no or it's o.k. But when I asked about Paxton he said he liked it. Alexis was very against the name, but time has changed her mind and she is excited about it. I have an appointment tomorrow and there is a good chance that we will schedule an induction date. Although, I am not dilating like I did with the other two and depending on my progress, my doctor may say "see you Monday." I have hopes of going into labor on my own, but don't really see that happening. For some reason my body needs the boost. We have been going on lots of walks hoping that will help. At least it is some quality time spent with the girls. Wish me luck!

Well at least there is an end in site, even if it's not as soon as you'd hoped for. I love the name Paxton. Maybe obne day Pax and Dax can play together. Good luck with the delivery.
