We had our official 20 week US in April confirming our fantastic BOY news. During the US the tech told us everything was perfect, she told me she couldn't see his face great because he was so low already and he wasnt cooperative but I didn't care, I was just excited he was a boy. I never thought about it. We were ecstatic. I knew I wanted to name him Alexander, that is my great grandads name and he was special to me. I have the greatest memories of going to his house in Leeds and smashing pennies on the railroad tracks in front of his house. We would usually just go for the day and eat lunch make homemade icecream on the front porch and spend time with family. I remember those times so vividly, isnt it strange what sticks out in your mind ? James is his middle name we chose and it is Barts dads name. I think its important for a boy to have a strong family name. I just love it. So it was official, Alexander James Payne would be here in August and we could hardly wait !!
This picture is our maternity photos, they were taken in late July, about 3 weeks before Alex was born. It was SO hot and miserable and I really didn't feel like having my picture made but I'm glad I did now. They turned out cute and the very talented Samantha Gromko did a fabulous job as usual.
