I'm not going to talk too much about how hard it was for us to choose a name this time, but it was.
I think most of you out there have heard by now, but we decided on Hudson Thomas O'Neill.
Thomas was one of my grandfathers' names. And the only Hudson we have ever known of was Hudson Taylor who was an important missionary to China. His China Inland Mission organization was in Shanghai on the same street as the University where we lived and worked for 2 years. Just click on his name to read more about him.
Other news.....Today we visited the school where Camryn will go to kindergarten next fall. It was weird being there and realizing how she is growing up. It's a great public school near our house that has only been open for a couple of years. However, it has around 1000 students but was built for 600. Hopefully they will redraw the lines for zoning and they are planning to build 8 more class rooms in a year.
And....i have been told by many people that 3rd pregnancies can have a lot of false labor. So, today i have been having contractions about 10 minutes apart, and they feel real, but i have a feeling they are not. Only time will tell......
