Because the house is in order and we are settled and the baby shower is complete (more details about that later) and the baby's room is ready, I feel like I should have a baby TODAY! Seriously! TODAY! Pretty impossible, but now it feels like a long wait since everything is done. Good thing I can keep myself busy with 4 kids, homeschooling and ministry. I hope everyday doesn't feel like a week these next few weeks. I am having ZERO contractions! ZERO (which is a praise God because it would be a week too soon to comfortably have a baby)!! No action, nothing! LOL! I had much more action at 30 weeks. :) I definitely think he will be staying in for the full 40!
We have decided that Miles Anderson Pham will be Miguel Anderson Pham in Spanish. The direct translation for Miles is "thousands" in Spanish. So that is not a good name for him in Spanish. And they don't have a long "I" sound like we do so when we tell people his name they usually can't say it or remember it since it is odd for them. Miguel is so similar to Miles that the kids will be able to remember it and it should not be too confusing for Miles to know that in English his name is Miles and in Spanish Miguel. :)

Pregnant, exhuasted, easily confused:-)

Thad has such a hard time with his name when he travels overseas (which is a lot) because so many languages do not have a "th" sound. So it always comes out Tad.
Amy: Good question! It will be Miles Anderson Pham. We will "only" use Miguel around Latinos! It will not be his official name; just an easier way to share his name with the Peruvians that we love and minister to.
Stef - your example is exactly WHY we are doing this. :)
