No baby yet...

Marisa is very ready to have the baby. She is tired of being sick, having a sprained ankle, no comfortable position to be in, constant hard contractions that never get regular enough to be labor, etc, etc. She is ready to trade all of that for a new baby. We are pretty set on the name Kaeden Pond Calderwood. We haven't decided on spelling so this is how I want to spell it. We like the name Dawson also, but I think Kaeden has edged it out. I definitely like the ae since the origin of the name is Gaelic and it means "spirit of battle" or "companion." And we wanted to give our third son a heritage name as well. Tre's middle name is Ben. That is Hebrew for "son of" and it is also the middle name of my father and his grandfather. I thought it would be cool to continue that on another generation especially as a middle name...Trevor - son of - Calderwood. Calderwood is a Scottish name (If eets not scoht-eesh, eets crrrap!). Beckham's middle name is Scott. We really like mono-syllable middle names with the long last name and two syllable first names. Finding a name for baby boy number three was very hard. We loved the originality and sound of Beckham so much it was hard to follow it up. If Kaeden/Caeden sticks then it already has its male heritage name so we chose Marisa's maiden name as his one syllable middle name. So much stress for a name, and as Shakespeare said, "What's in a name?" I guess if the Rose had a name that rhymed with more pleasant words than dose and foes, the poems would more often refer to the flower than its color...
