Adrian's ultrasound photo shoot
Here are the ultrasound pics of our newest boy at 18.5 weeks. That was back on August 22nd, so he's almost a month older now and starting to kick pretty hard.
We decided to name him Adrian. I think I went through the whole baby book of names and found like, THREE that were acceptable. One was Constantine, which Dan liked too, but that's kind of unwieldy, and I can't think of any good nicknames for it.
Dan put his finger on Adrian from my list and said that was his choice. So I went and thought about it and it's good. It translates to French and Spanish well, plus it kind of follows the theme of Italianate emperors. It's classy and doesn't have any stupid nicknames associated with it.
Adrian sounds kind of similar to Julian, but what the hell...minor. Those "-an" names sound good with Baker as a last name, and I wanted something with three syllables, because that sounds good with a 2-syllable last name too. So looks like we have a winner.

Adrian...great name! I've been wondering how you and the bun have been. Nice to see pics of the alien-in-progress. Hope to see you in person soon.

Yayyy for your baby boy (Julian is going to have so much fun with a baby brother). Adrian is a lovely name, strong and poetic all at the same time.
