Reign Emmanuel Taylor

Okay, so Eric and I have been battling for weeks on what to name our first son. I really liked Emmanuel - No 1: because it started with an E like Eric and No. 2: Because I love the fact that it means "God with US". Isn't that powerful. I mean, sometimes we are not always where God wants us to be but he tends to be WITH us! Just like David said in his Psalms! God is where we are! So, I wanted that to be his first name! Well, Eric had a different point of view. He wanted his son to have a unique name, a name of victory and conquest! He wanted his name to be Reign. So after much debate about Emmanuel Reign Taylor or Reign Emmanuel Taylor, Reign Emmanuel has won!!!! Basically Eric won because I was craving some popcorn and he went to the store and got me some! I know, I know. I'm just like Esau. I'll trade in my birthright for some soup!!!! But I like it now. It is truly a unique name with Victory. Reign, like all of us, can only reign when God is with us!

June 3, 2008 Doctor's Visit - 20 weeks

It's a boy! Eric "knew" without a shadow of a doubt that it was a boy but why did he fall out in the middle of the floor when the nurse who was doing the ultrasound told us?! He was doing snow angels on the carpet! I was so happy. I was secretly wanting a boy but never really spoke about it because I wanted to be happy for whatever I was having. I know Grannie T wanted a girl as well as Momo but Eric and I really wanted a boy and we are so thankful to God for the healthy report we received. We solicit all prayers from our friends, near and far. Pray for a healthy baby and a healthy pregnancy for mommy! It is 90+ degrees in NC and my job requires me to travel to and from multiple counties a day. Getting in and out of the car at this temperature and new found stomach is not really comfortable but your prayers will me get through!!!
