BOY, oh boy am I humiliated!!! I look back at all my conversations, all my e-mails and my posts…. and yes, I was wrong! I can not and still find it hard to believe that I am having another boy. I am so happy, because I actually wanted another boy for Dillon to play with… but I still find it hard to grasp that it really is true. All my visions of life ahead of me were wrong, everything that I saw was wrong. I was so speechless, shocked, and in disbelief! Chris asked me at least twenty times if I was ok, because I just could not talk! I had the ultrasound tec. go back look again just to make sure (and for sure there is NO mistake… it is a BOY!) but I still didn’t believe it! We hung the pictures up on the fridge and just last night I walked by and started to laugh! I am still settling into this new vision, but I am so thrilled that I get a new little man to love! It is my lot in life to be surrounded by dirt, tractors, and stinky boys… but I love it!
P.S. Dillon has decided that the baby’s name is Backhoe… for all of you who are wondering!

You might need to come up with another name for him quick, or he really might get stuck with the nickname Backhoe! Harold Backhoe Erickson. Okay, Harold is not on your list of potential names, I am sure... At least, I hope it's not. But I am interested in hearing what is on your list! You'd named Dillon months before he was born.
Yea!!! I'm not quite sure about the name backhoe.
Where did Harold come from? We actually have NO ideas or any thing that we like... I have a feeling that this baby will remain namless for quite some time! And to make things clear, Dillon was named the second we found out he was a boy.... but that was only beacuse Chris had told me when we were dating that his first bord son's name was going to be Dillon... so I said ok. I personally like the name backhoe... we have been calling him (that sounds weird!)that around here and it is sort of growing on me... but I can promise you that it will not be the final name! We just have NO idea?!?
Sorry... Harold was just the first name that popped into my head. Why anyone would want to name their child that, I just don't know.
Perhaps you can come up with attributes you'd like him to have, and then go online and see what names have that meaning.
Take the name David, for example... It means Beloved. Kelly means Warrior. Irene (my mom) who's name so perfectly matches her personality mean Peace. Jeffrey means God's Peace.
So... what would you like him to be?
I told you backhoe could have some sticking potential...
Congratulations! I think having two of a kind is a good thing for the kids. I have to say, I actually prefer Backhoe to Harold. :)
