Baby Boy Bass has a name!

We were toying with the idea of leaving Baby Bass' name a surprise until his birth, but after our kids were asking us and suggesting all sorts of wonderful name ideas….we decided it would be easier on them and us just to tell.

We have selected Isaac as his name.  We chose this name for many reasons; #1 reason is because it's a family name and we just don't have it in us to chose a name that isn't a family name.  #2, it has been in the Bass family since 1821 and we love the tradition of it.  It was Hal's grandfather's name, and he was very special to Hal.  #3, It is biblical and we like that since David is too. #4, It has a super cool nickname that has the old man appeal that Franklin likes, Ike.  We will call him Isaac (David Franklin says it's a prettier name), but Ike will be a fun nickname to use too!  It won't be what he goes by, per say, unless he choses to.  

Watson is Franklin's mother's maiden name.  We love her tremendously.  When I say I have the best mother in law in the world, it's no exaggeration.  We wanted to honor her and her family of origin.  She was one of three girls, so the Watson name has not been passed down….Until now! 

This ultrasound picture was from his 20 week check up.  He looks great and is growing perfectly.  I am now 26 weeks pregnant, so he's grown even more.  He wouldn't show much of his face, but we know it's beautiful.  We are blessed beyond measure and cannot wait to welcome him to the world and our family.  Nora and David F. talk about him and to him everyday.  In the school picture DF drew, he drew me pregnant with 3 babies in my belly. Precious! They are thrilled they are having a baby brother, and we are too!
