His name will be Harrison Rolly Howard. We're going to call him Harrison, which is Bo's middle name. This will be the 5th generation of Harrisons in Bo's family, which we think is pretty awesome. Also, Hampton & Harrison will have the same initials, which means we get to re-use all of Hampton's cute monogrammed stuff! (Guess who thought of that idea?)
He is a big boy! Our Doctor said last week that he's already 6.5 pounds, and will be bigger than Hampton, who was 7lbs 11oz. Of course, babies usually gain about a pound a week the last month, so that means he's going to be a lot bigger! Right now, Tanner is choosing not to focus on that last fact! He's also really funny at the Doctor's office. They can rarely find his heartbeat, but he always kicks them while they try! We must have a prankster on our hands.
He's also just as wild as Hampton was. He gets hiccups all the time, and you can watch him move from across the room. Loud noises don't seem to bother him, though, which is wonderful since he's going to around a lot of them! He seems to really like fruit tea, which Tanner loves. It's way easier to justify having it around the house when more than one person drinks it! Tanner has had non-stop heartburn this time, so we can't wait to see if the old wives' tale is true. If so, this little boy is going to have one head FULL of hair!
Even though he'll get to re-use most of Hampton's baby stuff, we've been busy making sure he's got plenty of his own cute stuff. Bibs, burps, outfits, and toys.....we don't want him to feel neglected, now do we? (Not that we're just using that as an excuse to shop!)
Our Doctor also said that there's a good chance that Harrison will arrive before the 7th, but we're determined to make him wait. We've still got too much to do before then! We guess we'll just see who is stronger-willed, Tanner or Harrison........
