By request - my first belly shots

Hi Kate (nice name, LOL)!

Around here, Katharine/Katherine are pretty much equal in use. I slightly prefer Katharine over the E because I think it looks "nicer". Not that Katherine isn't lovely. It's just that all the old starlets from the old days - Katharine Hepburn, etc. - they spelled it that way and I just like it. I know she'll have to say "Katharine with an A" more often than not, but being as she'll go by Kate it won't be an everyday occurence (except at the beginning of the school year, hehe). But like I said, I see an equal number of Katharines vs. Katherines in this area so I'm not too worried.

I won't mind if someone calls my Kate "Katie" once in awhile, like little old ladies or whatever - I just don't want her to be KNOWN as Katie.

Of course, it'll all be moot if Nug turns out to be a Nugget instead of a Nuggette. Then we're stuck because we *like* Evan and Noah but we don't *love* them like we do the girls' names.



Thanks for all the kind words, ladies! I love talking babies and baby names so if you feel like it, this is the place to post. LOL

First, let me say again - a huge congratulation to JaIme concerning the nugget(te)!!! I'm super excited to see more PT babies on the way!!! You're belly is soo cute! I can't wait to be pregnant one day! But I could understand your frustation with the "in-between" stage...hopefully, "nug" will start growing so you can move into the cute little pregnancy outfits!

Second - I LOVE the names you've chosen! All of them! I'm a huge fan of Noah and Kate!!

I just went to my first child-birthing class with my best friend who is due on September 18th. Her husband is in the military and won't be home for the delivery ( ) so I will be there as the coach. We were talking baby names and hers is Kyleigh Ann (it's a girl...). She said no one can agree on the spelling of this name either - so I guess everyone has spelling issues (even mine - Judy)

And since you "asked" (well, not really, but I thought I'd post anyway) here are my favorite name choices for future children:

Female-Grace Elizabeth (Grace or Lizzie), Addison Bailey (Addie or Bailey)
Male - Samuel Isaac (Sam - NOT Sammy), Mason Tucker (Mason)
