Mom just got pictures of my cousin Jackson. I'll probably be pretty out of it for a while once I reach planet earth, but Mom is really looking forward to the day when we can play and get to know each other. I'll be able to learn a lot from Jack, since he will be a full year and a half older than me. (He already knows how to walk and even sweep floors)Pops and Mom are so excited that I am "alive" that, despite themselves, they've already started joking about my future name. They spent a lot of time last night over dinner coming up with boy names - Pops really likes the name Vincent or Vicente, because it's an old family name. Pops isn't 100% sure that is definitely what he wants, but Mom can see that he feels pretty strongly about it. So she says she'll go with that if that's whats important to him. Also, she has a good friend named Vinh, and Vincent could lead to a nickname that reminds her of her friend, so she's down with that kind of name. She says maybe she can pick the middle name.
Mom likes Philipino names a lot, and that is where the Vicente translation came from for Vincent. She also likes the name Arturo, which comes from her granddad from the Phlippines, Arthur. Our roommate, Darin had a lot of suggestions too, but then we got distracted by initials. For example, if we named the kid Vincent Arturo, his initials would be VAC - and we're not sure if that is so good. Darin says "no way." Scott and he think the initials VXC would be cool, but that doesn't leave too many options! (Mom is not so crazy about the name Xavier...)
Obviously there is a lot to think about. We haven't even gotten started with girls names yet. Anyways, we clearly have a ways to go before we really need to pick something out - there is plenty of time to think about the options.
