Introducing, Grant Fitzgerald Yaeger! Ron and I went for our first ultrasound apointment yesterday and we are so thankful to be expecting a healthy baby boy. The babies heartbeat had slowed to 146 BPM and is sitting VERY low. With these two pieces of information in mind, I made a last minute guess, boy. I was right! Ron's jaw dropped to the floor, I think he's still on cloud nine. While there, the ultrasound technician checked around 200 body parts and checked for abnormalities before even letting us see Grant on the screen, talk about nerve racking! We are thrilled to have a baby to carry out the Yaeger name, Ron was the last. As for the name... Ron and I were in Montgomery a couple of weekends ago and went to a baby store called Storkland. While I browsed, Ron flipped through a baby name book. He came across the name Grant and read that it made great first impressions and was considered a "strong" name. He asked what I thought and I loved it, the name was born. It's awfully hard to pick a middle name for Grant. After much consideration we decided to use my maternal grandmother's maiden name, Fitzgerald. My entire life, people have told me that I'm just like her and we were extremely close, I feel very proud to have my first born carry out her name and plus I think it just sounds cool. Ha, I admit it!
