We debated names for some time but when we found out we were actually expecting a boy there was no question that he would be a fourth. Anderson also has meaning on my side with it being my maternal grandmothers maiden name. JAT Sr., Jr and II had all gone by John so we decided he would be called Anderson.
I still remember the reactions of both grandmothers when we called to tell them about Anderson and the name we chose for him. I couldn’t wait to introduce him to them but couldn’t help to wish John’s grandfather was here to meet his little name sake.
Grandmama {Anderson} Sheheen met him when we was just 3 days old.
Back in the fall, my grandma’s health started to decline. She was put into the hospital and they weren’t able to put their fingers on what exactly was wrong. The day John and I went to visit her in the hospital was also the day we had our 20 week anatomy scan. I had come to terms with the fact that those pictures may be as close as she would get to meeting my baby but man was she excited to see them! Thankfully her health improved enough to get her home with some assistance. As you can imagine, the day we were able to introduce her to our little Anderson was a happy one!
