TWIN BOYS!!!!!

Here's a not-so-little-known fact...I'm pregnant!  
Here's a littler-known fact...We're having 2 babies!!  
An even littler-known fact...they're BOTH BOYS!!!  
And the least-known fact...THEY HAVE NAMES!!!  Pretty great names actually:)

Hudson William & Everett Fielding

I'm pretty excited about finally having names for the boys.  It always makes them seem more real when you can call them by their names.  

It took us a while to finalize the names because (1) We were NOT expecting to have 2 boys and (2) picking boys names is a tricky game.  We want them to be unique enough so he doesn't have 5 other kids in his class with the same name.  At the same time, I feel like you can't go too far into the "so different it might be weird" territory with boys as much as you can with girls.  And most importantly, we want them to have powerful meanings.  Add these together and this is no small task, my friends.  

We wanted to use the middle names as a way to give honor to our fathers.  So one of the boys will have Tommy's dad's middle name, Fielding, and the other will have my dad's middle name, William.

There were several amazing names in the running for first names, but we finally agreed on these names based on their meanings...

Hudson- Bright in mind & spirit; Brave
William-Warrior or Guardian

Everett- Trusted Advisor
Fielding- Of his field

I can barely wait for them to get here and see how much their names fit their personalities!  So fun!!!
