I've always loved the name Arthur since I read the King Arthur stories as a kid. Yes, I know there is a cartoon aardvark named Arthur, but I don't care. It's a great name! I've been telling Hunter it's the name I wanted ever since I found out I was pregnant this time around. The other day I was looking at a book with my mom's family tree, and I found something pretty cool - my great-grandmother had siblings named Ada, Arthur, and Elizabeth (both Eleanor and Ada's middle name)! That made it perfect for me. :) Stephenson is a family name, and I've always thought it would be a great middle name for a boy.
Our other top contender was Alexander, but it was the #6 most popular boy name in 2010 while Arthur was #389, so that made the decision pretty easy. Plus, we don't like nicknames and of course Alexander would end up going by Alex. Hunter has liked Arthur all along, but he wouldn't agree until we sat down and looked through a list of over 1000 boy names. I guess it's good to be thorough though. ;)

Not a good picture of me, but I think it's hilarious of Eleanor! I was trying to take pictures with the timer, and she jumped in and said, "cheese!"

You are so adorable. Love your baby bump. Looking forward to Arthur's arrival this fall.
You look great in both pictures but I love E's face as she is saying cheese!
