This may be the hardest decision we've had to make regarding the baby,
to-date. When we thought we might be having a girl, we new exactly what we wanted to name her. Then we got the news of our bundle being a little
man and that threw us for a bit of a curve ball! So for the last 6-7 weeks we've been throwing around name, after name, after name. Then trying all of the different combinations of the ones we liked. It's exhausting just thinking about it but we have finally come to an "official" decision of what our little guy's name will be...
WILLIAM "CARTER" WAUGH
Lots of different things lead us to these names for him. The first of which was a suggestion that we name him after both Steven's favorite movie character and also my family name. William Wallace was actually kind of cool when paired with our last name, but we knew we didn't want to call him by either of those names. We liked that Steven's grandfather uses a name that is a derivative of William so that's when it became a front-runner for us. And then there's his middle name. I've always liked the name Carter, and I have a few family members on my mom's side that have that name and that seemed to be one I kept coming back to. It was one of only 3-4 that we could agree on so after much consideration, Carter made it's way to the top of the pile. We'll be calling him Carter and the picture above is my latest craft project that will likely make it's way above his crib in the nursery. I've been busy re-finishing all kinds of furniture for his nautical themed nursery so stay tuned for that post!
One thing I underestimated with this process was just how many opinions you receive when naming your child! We're proud of our choice as are most of our family and friends and we are anxiously awaiting Carter's November arrival, which seems to be approaching as fast as a jet plane flies these days! We've made it to 21 weeks and are both growing like weeds. We can't wait for Steven to get back to his former employer in TN and are so excited to see our friends and family in just 2 WEEKS!!!
Prayers are appreciated for a smooth transition for Steven as he switches into his new role and for our move from Louisiana to Tennessee!

Love the name choice! It was so hard deciding on a boy name for us too. Time is flying for sure! Can't wait to see Carter's nursery!
We'll be in Myrtle Beach next week. Wish you would be there so we could talk baby! Haha
Can't wait to meet lil William Carter! Love the family meaning behind his names. The Carter is his Great-Great Grandfather's middle name, and his Great-Great Uncle's middle name, as well as other cousins. Nice choice. :)
