The biggest news I really have to share is that we decided on a name!
Augustus James Fallon
We have called him Gus for a long time now. Russell has loved the name Augustus since before we even knew he was gonna be a boy. It needed to grow on me a bit, but eventually I fell in love with it. It helped that (most) of my family was really supportive. Apparently the main character in "The Fault in Our Stars" is named Augustus? Yeah, don't care. Never saw the movie, never read the book, it just happened that way. If I have any advice for moms to be it's to not let others opinions get you down. Do you know how many looks I got when I said Augustus? Or Gus even? It was horrible. My favorite thing to say to the people who mention they don't like it is, "have your own baby and name it whatever you want". :)

ANYWAYS..
