The Name Game

Why oh why is it so darn hard to agree on names. My viking and I just can not seem to see eye to eye with this one. I have narrowed it down to 3 girls names and I just need the man to pick 1 of them. He said no to all the boys names I have picked, he wants a James JR, a son named after him. No way though Mr! Does anyone else find that lazy and conceited or is it just me? Our children need to have their own identity I feel, not start off following in one of their parents shadows. Names are hard. I mean think about it, You're picking the name that will follow the most important person of your entire life for the rest of their life. Like sheesh, talk about a serious commitment to a word here. I know I have time to pick, I mean I don't even know if we are having a girl or boy yet, and although I hope the baby is a girl (hence why I am already picking girls names first) I should probably chill out on needing to find a name till I find out what gender my baby is.

What are some of your favorite names?

It's been a while since I came on here and man oh man how things have changed. it's about time I start keeping up with it all.

Life taken a beautiful turn and my significant other and I are now expecting our first child together. I'm already a mom to a wonderful 5 year old but this will be the first time I experience pregnancy and birth and all the joys and hardships of a newborn, yay! As of today I am 7 weeks and 2 days in, I have already started looking at girls names because I'm keeping my fingers, arms, legs, and toes crossed that its a girl. keep your fingers crossed for me too! My other half seems to be genetically disposed to having boys but I am hoping to break that cycle. Yet, no matter what my beautiful bundle ends up being I will love my baby all the same.

Now the craziness begins. Do I find a way to be a stay at home mom or do I find a new job to afford daycare. Oy, now that's the big dilemma right now. Of course I would love to stay home and take care of my world and be the one seeing all the big and little moments, guiding my child in all sorts of directions. I just have to find a way to make it happen.

If any of your have thoughts please feel free to share and toss ideas around. Hearing from you is always appreciated.

Namaste
