The Day You Got Your Name

Wednesday, December 5, 2012

It was a surprisingly cold the day you got your name. "It's suppose to be sunny," your mom told your dad.


But she didn't really care what the weather was like. She was just making small talk to avoid the nerves. The day was finally here. You had grown and developed and had now reached the halfway mark in your mom's tummy. This meant it was time for your parents to learn who you were and to name you.

You woke up early that morning, almost as if you knew and were ready to get your name.

Your parents arrived at the hospital to find several people in the waiting room of the exam office. But after what seemed like hours, it was finally your parents' turn. 

In the office, the nurse asked your mom and dad if they wanted to know what you were—a little boy or girl. Ready to give you a name, "We want to know," they said. 

As soon as the nurse put the scope on your moms tummy, she knew. "Can you tell what it is?" she asked.

Scared to guess wrong, your parents just stared at the screen. 

The nurse pointed to an area, and "It's a boy!" flashed up on the screen. Your dad gasped with excitement, and your mom just smiled. 

And that was it. Your parents had loved the same name for two years, and from that moment on, you would be known as Mr. Silas Liles Murray.

It's you!
Your first onesie and outfit.

Kicking It Off

Saturday, December 1, 2012

It was the day after your mom helped to throw a large fundraiser for her job that she first felt it. It felt like a few small bubbles in her tummy, and she had no idea what was going on. "It could be gas," she thought, but she just wasn't convinced. She grabbed her phone and began to search for what it could possibly be. Blogs and forums all said the same thing: it was YOU.

It was another week or so before she felt you again. You weren't super consistent in the beginning, but with each day that passed, you became more and more active. You were kicking, punching, dancing, having fun. Again, it was becoming more and more real to your mom and dad that you were on your way.

After a couple of weeks of you being more active, your mom noticed that you had specific times that you liked to move the most. First of all, there was your morning shift. Between 9am-11am, you would stretch and start waking up. You'd move a little throughout the day, but then, between 10pm-midnight, you would get crazy! You'd start moving all over the place. You're mom says it even felt like you were doing flips in her tummy. Your mom and dad thought, 'Well if this is any indication of our future, looks like we'll be having some late nights!'
