Behind The Name...Peanut {Smudge} - Prego Files Part 2

So we found out we were expecting baby number 2 on June 21st, 2012.  I was about 2 days late with my period and had this feeling that I might be pregnant.  I sent my husband a text and he said to go and buy a pregnancy test and see.  I don't know why but I was very nervous about taking the test.  I think deep down I knew I was pregnant and by taking the test and seeing a "+" sign on the little stick would make it reality and I would have to deal with it.  Well I went to the pharmacy and picked up 2 boxes of pregnancy tests because I knew if it came back positive on one I would still need to take 3 more minimum to confirm the same thing.  After buying the tests I went home and took the test and yes it came back positive.  I sent Matt a picture of the test and said what do you see - and he texted back saying a plus sign and I text back saying Congrats your going to have another kid....

Now leading up to July 18th when we had our first doctor's appointment to confirm that there was in fact a baby and what the due date would be for the baby.  Well there was a baby in my belly - it was real and the due date was confirmed to be March 2, 2013.  When we got to see the first images of our baby the doctor referred to the baby as a "Peanut" and from then on Matt and Samantha kept referring to the baby as Peanut - so that became the babies name (until we know if it's a boy or girl and we have argued over the actual name of the baby).

About a week after Samantha and Matt named the baby "Peanut" Samantha made a comment to me that she wished we could of named Oscar (who is our 8 year old Boxer) "Smudge" instead of Oscar.  I asked her why and she said she just thought it was a good name.  I tried to change the subject and then she came back with we can just name our baby that and thus "Peanut Smudge Tomaro's" name came to life.

Here is Samantha - The Big Sister - with her babies first picture

 

 

On a side note......

 

This picture was taken about a week before Samantha even knew she was going to be a big sister.

After I found out I was pregnant I broke out the pregnancy books from when I was pregnant with Samantha and had left one of them in the living room - Samantha would pick up the book and just start looking through it and ask questions.....she was very interested in it.
