Big Baby?

Kristin's latest visit with the doctor today was actually with the nurse practitioner. Everything is generally good. Those swollen ankles are normal, but she needs to watch the salt intake a little more just in case (I guess she won't be eating anything Alison prepares).

The big surprise is that the nurse continues to think that this is going to be a big baby. When the doctor sees Kristin, he doesn't have any feeling either way, but this nurse is sure Kristin is giving birth to Kong. To that end, she's got to have an ultrasound done in the next two weeks so the doctor can have a look to see whether there's just a lot of amniotic fluid or Paul Bunyan growing inside. Let us know how big you were. Family history might come into play here, so 'fess up, folks. How much did you weigh at birth? How long were you? Kristin wondered if the doctor got her due date wrong--will the baby be coming earlier than we thought?

Paul, Kong, Leif? The name thing is still posing problems. Boy names seem to be more of a challenge. Luke was actually a possibility, but we figured too many people would blame me and my Star Wars habit for that one. Since we've both been teaching for thirteen years, we've got a combined lot of nearly 800 student names between us. It seems that nearly every name has some baggage. Something will click, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen as we flip through "60,000 of Last Year's Top Baby Names!"

Suggestions are welcome here in the comments section. If you're going to go through the trouble of giving suggestions, remember to include a middle name. Your thought process would be appreciated as well, so if you suggest George Alexander Yates we don't have to guess, "Did he want our kid to get beat up on the playground because his initials spell 'gay'?"
