Reactions

Almost as fun as finding out and announcing the baby is to see and hear the reactions. Here is a flavor of what we are hearing from all angles:

From Parker:

Just another day, but one can't help but think that finally "buzz" got his new buddy "Woody" on board. After all, what is Toy Story without Buzz AND Woody? If Parker could pick a name, it would be Buzz!

Of late Parker has been gathering the Toy Story "Gang". Little does he know what is joining this gang in a few months!

From Parents:

Esplin Parents - Another boy tilts the scales in favor of the boys now 9 to 6 for these happy grandparents. Upon telling my dad the news he was most concerned about the baby's health, though deep down we're sure he is completing his little baseball squad to field one day. Mom Esplin surely feels Melissa's excitement as boys are right up her alley.

Pollastro Parents - As always genuine and loving, every baby feeling like its receiving a royal entrance into this family. Boys making a charge outnumbering the girls 4 to 2

From Family:

Cousin Cali currently in mourning and probably blaming Devin for everything - after all he is a BYU fan.

Sisters/ In - Laws - A mixed bag of texts coming in from this group ranging from sympathy, excitement and "been there done that".

Brothers/In - Laws - For Christian it is some more live bait to dangle and spoil and from others jealousy and fear.

From Friends:

From the minute the news hit the airwaves the texts/calls have been flooding in, each with praise and personalized counsel. My favorite counsel was that of one of Melissa's friends preparing her for many more ball games and many more bleachers!

From the Parents to Be:

As the dust settles so does the excitement settle comfortably in our minds and hearts only to be stirred up by the changes that are knocking on the door. For the mean time we will enjoy the news and are grateful for those who are excited and anxious for us.

So happy for your family! If Treyson could have gotten his way, Tanner's name would have been "Buzz" too. Luckily he forgot about it once the baby was here. Any ideas on names from the two that actually get to decide?
