We've been calling this sweet boy all sorts of things for the past week... baby, baby brother, little man, Mr...
After taking the full week we were given to decide, we finally have chosen a name.
Bridger Sterling Thompson
I can't say for sure what took us so long, we looked for names when we had time and came up with three to choose between.
We had Stetson, Bridger, and Jamison.
I narrowed it down to Stetson and Bridger on Monday.
Then left it up to Nate to decide.
Yesterday Nate decided on Bridger and today I called in to the hospital to let them know.
I really struggled with finding a name for him. I really needed to see him first, then all the names I liked didn't seem to fit. I think Bridger is perfect for him. He is such a sweet little guy and we have just been loving him!
As for Sterling, we decided a while ago if we had a boy we would name him after Nate's grandfather, Sterling Fackrell who passed away in March of this last year. He was a great man whom we really miss. He was always so sweet, humble and happy.
We were very excited to be able to name our little guy after him.
Things have been good since we've been home. Bridger's first doctor appointment was on Friday, he weighed in at 6 lbs 13.5 ozs. We had to take him back again on Saturday to make sure he didn't lose more weight and he was up to 6 lbs 14ozs. Then he had to go back again on Monday and he had gained 2 ozs, putting him at 7lbs even. He's a little jaundice, but not too bad. Other than that, he seems to be doing great!
One last picture...a sleepy little Bridger grin.
Not the real thing, but I still love those deep sleep little grins and facial expressions he gets.
On occasion, we even get some cute little squeaks and squeals out of him while he's asleep.
We sure do love this boy, and are very blessed to have him in our family!
