Our little man....

I am pleased to announce that after many discussions of spelling and number of middle names, Ron and I finally came to a decision as to exactly what our little man's name is going to be. His name will be...

Atticus Fitzgerald Olsen

Yes, there will probably be a shortened version. Already Ron is shortening his name to Atty (or Attie or some variation thereof....), again still undecided on the spelling. I personally am unsure when I would be writing it out in the shortened version, but others have asked, so we will try to figure it out. Our next doctor's appointment is on Thursday. Just a regular appointment, nothing special. Ron may not be able to make it, he just found out he has court. Hopefully the trial will be delayed and he will be able to be there.

Last week I was in Dallas from Monday until Sunday for training. It was a really busy week! Our plane ride down went well, I was unsure how Atticus would react to it. He was very quiet, just like his dad always does, I think he slept for the whole plane ride! While I was at the conference, they had 2 evening dinners/party's for us. The first had a really fun band that played a mix of music...all cover music. It ranged from country (again, we were in Texas) to popular to 80's. Just a lot of fun music. I thought that I would really feel Atticus kicking and reacting to the music, but he was very quiet that night. The second party had a band for the first 2 hours, they played LOTS of country music and people (no, not me!!) were line-dancing. After that they ended the party with 2 hours of DJ music. Atticus really seemed to love the DJ. A couple times, he was kicking me in time with the drumbeats of the music! It was really funny. Everynight, we would listen to some Baby Einstein (either Mozart, Beethovan, or Bach) to unwind. All in all it was a good week, but I was really glad to get home. I will tell you this though, if Atticus learns to talk with a strong southern twang, or likes country music, I am totally blaming it on this trip!!!
