I was very impatient and couldn't wait for our 20 week ultrasound to know what we had cookin so at 16 weeks we went to Miracle In Sight in Round Rock, Texas for a gender ultrasound. Neither of us got much sleep the night before because we were so excited! Then we got up early and went to eat Round Rock donuts to get him moving for our little show (I have to admit the donuts were not just about Noah!). It didn't take long for the ultrasound tech to find out that we were having a BOY! When we left we immediately went to the car and called and texted everyone with the news!
We were so happy to find out we were having a boy! On our way home we went to Babies R Us and bought his first outfit, a Texans onesie with matching hat and socks.
Dressed up for his first Texans game
2 weeks old
When we got home from the ultrasound we started looking up names online to try to get an idea about what we liked. We looked on all kinds of sites, and saw any crazy name you can think of! Our original list at the end of that weekend consisted of 10 names.
Everyone wanted to know what we were going to name him so we decided to share our ideas. Basketball playoffs were upon us so Josh thought it was appropriate to make a bracket. We posted on Facebook and got some great comments.
The comments from the original post (the bracket was slightly different, we switched Landon and Silas when we decided against Landon):

haha, im happy that Oliver didnt play cinderella in this bracket. Also glad that Dylan got scratched cause I got dibs on Dylan. Now Landon only made final four because Kayden was pretty weak. Hayden had to beat a helluva name in Dylan so he...'s looking pretty strong. Jayden is a poor mans Hayden: OUT. I am alittle bummed that Noah beat Silas in the first round. Silas Firestone sounds like a really smart, well accomplished person. So I vote for letting Silas and Noah battle again, not on the Ark cause that wouldnt be fair. Silas will win and face Hayden in the finals. Then when the little guy gets here you let him pick between the two as an un-concerned third party. If he looks smart name him Silas, if he looks like a ladies man name him Hayden. If he looks like both name him Cody.
Joshua Davis Cody you have too much time on ur hands, you need to go bulid a hut or something. haha, anyways f-Beeezzzy take it from me, go with Landon.

Josh Firestone Look, dont get me wrong, I was terribly disappointed with the Silas v. Noah matchup myself. I am considering a re-bracket, but not because Cody convinced me!

Andres Marcano jayden wins in a blowout, and possibly a shot from downtown at the buzzer just for shits n gigs.
May 4, 2010 at 3:29pm
Nami Nguyen but you gotta consider the nicknames that'll come from these. jayden will be jay after the 5th grade.
May 4, 2010 at 3:31pm
Chris Memmer maybe name him andres..so that later in life he can be the drake!
May 4, 2010 at 3:33pm
Chris Memmer btw..we'll just be around his friends and teach them to call him firebeezzyyy jr.
May 4, 2010 at 3:33pm
Andres Marcano jayden = jfire, which is money. in the future kids will be calling each other shit like that

Brian Grasshoff Landon or Noah. Noah Firestone. amazing. you have to imagine these names being spoken over a loudspeaker at a baseball game, its the only way to decide. watch: NOOOOOAHHHHHHH FIREEEESTOOOOOONE (crowd roars)

Debbie Peters Firestone Love the input. I would have to agree with Brian and the loud speaker at a baseball game.

Santiago Ramos 9 times out of ten guys named Hayden and Jayden get their asses beat when they go up against guys named Noah and Landon. Food for thought.

We narrowed it down one by one until we had Noah Glenn Firestone as a winner. We were both so happy when we made this big decision, I don't think I stopped smiling for an hour! By then it was just between Hayden and Noah and I love both but we just thought he seemed like a Noah. It turned out it was the perfect choice because the meaning of Noah is peaceful, and he has been a wonderful baby! We'll see if that lasts through the toddler years!
