The Baumgartner Six Pack?

Ok folks, now that the news that we are expecting our fourth child is pretty much public knowledge, I suppose it's ok to blog about it. So first things first. I'm going to need a new name for my blog. Baumgartner Party of Five just won't work once we are 6. Send me your ideas... I will choose the new blog name from the suggestions I receive here. Post your suggestion as a comment (not anonymously, please).

And to reply to the most common questions I have been getting as a result of sharing this good news outside the four walls of my home, here are a few thoughts:

1. Yes, we are aware of what causes this.
2. Yes, we are crazy.
3. Yes, I am getting too old for this.
4. No, we don't care if it's a boy or girl. It will be one of those, I'm sure. And yes, we would like to find out early if they can tell us. I'm a planner, you know.
5. No, I have not had morning sickness, thankfully.
6. No, I will not tell you what the worst symptom of pregnancy is. You don't want to know.
7. I don't know yet if I will keep working. I haven't bought my Lotto ticket yet so I can't tell you.
8. No, we do not have any names chosen yet. If you have a good suggestion, and I mean a GOOD one, feel free to comment here. I can't promise to pick from my readers' submissions on this one, however.
9. I don't know if this will be the last one. I said the last one was the last one, but now he's not the last one anymore is he? Only God knows...
10. WOW is an appropriate response to our news. However, bear in mind, we are still no Jon & Kate plus 8 or the Duggar family (with 18 kids and counting), now are we? Four is a pretty good number, don't you think?

More to come soon....

Sara said...

hmmmmm

I still vote for the baby to be named Sara if it's a girl Nick if it's a boy....
but if you don't like those, maybe optimus prime would work?

as for names of sites... maybe
4Ncounting ?
Baum Shelter (Chad's idea from a long time ago)
OR... and this is my suggestion...

NotCrazyYet.... See? Good huh?

Let me know when you want to name him/her after me I'll probably accept lol...

for names of people, i repeat the suggestions i have given you every time. Liam, Luke, Morgan, and a new one for kicks Mary (spelled in kanji) cause let's face it, she'd be awesome enough for kanji.

as for sites...maybe themorethemerrier?
joaniesarmy?

i'm not really good at website names. but i like sara's 4ncounting.

that made me laugh. anyhow, love you. (btw, if you aren't saying what the worst symptom is, it's gas isn't it? i hear pregenant people get very windy...lol)
