Big Brother Caleb helps with baby names

The other day we were all riding in the car and I was talking with Carey about possible baby names. All starting with "C" of course! I was saying "How about..., how about...., how about...." Next thing we know, out of the backseat, Caleb pipes up and says, "How about chicken?" Well, it does start with C as did everything I was saying. When that got lots of laughs from Carey and I, he also suggested "How about French Fries" and "How about ketchup".

For the rest of the weekend, whenever he wanted to get us to laugh, Caleb would again say, "How about chicken?" Not knowing at all why it was so funny when he said it the first time.

I fully expect that by the time that Caleb is in about middle school, this story will be met with much eye rolling and protests but, it will be fun to remind him how he suggested we name his sibling "chicken".

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day. I've been having a rough day myself and I have been wishing that somehow I could just go home and rest on the couch. Just a touch of queasiness and fatique that has lingered ever since this morning. Again, the term "morning sickness" does not really apply.

About 6-7 weeks along now and so about 6 weeks to go before we get out of the first trimester. Fingers crossed that the second trimester will be the easy time that most folks experience. Pretty sure I did with Caleb too. That was before he got so big and sat so high up under my ribs!

Have a good one and talk to you all soon.
