What's in a name?

I think the worst part of this pregnancy is trying to decide on a name for this little tyke. Steve has his heart set on ONE name, especially if it's a boy. The minute we found out I was pregnant, he told me the two names he picked. No questions asked. Well, today at work I was asked if we had any names picked out or not. "Well, my husband does." I said. So I decided to ask him when I got home. Have we decided? I mean, the names he picked aren't bad, and I like them both, but I would also like a little discussion as well. I told him my first choice, and he said, "No way! Do you want my honest opinion? It's the worst name I've ever heard." Wow, don't hold anything back honey! Geez! So I've been checking my baby books, looking for names so I can at least run a few names by him. Maybe he'll at least think one of my ideas sounds ok, even if he doesn't want to use it. I'll look on the bright side, I won't be able to give him the worst name in the world, because he already shot that one down!

Cold,cold snow!

For a long time this winter, I have prayed for snow. I love the way that it looks on the trees and fresh snow fall is so clean. My dog LOVES it and my husband makes our living off of it falling. But the only problem with this year is that I'm big and my coat doesn't fit. I just bought a nice new winter coat at the end of last season, and now it doesn't zip. So in the midst of these single digit temperatures, I'm walking around with my coat wide open. I've gotten quite a few funny looks walking out of work, and scraping off my car with my coat just flapping in the frigid temperatures! I went to try to find one that would fit, but I dont know if it's worth spending $75-$100 on a new coat that I might not ever use again. I guess I'll just suffer through these temps and hope that it at least warms up a bit.

three months off

I know, I know...after a baby, it's not really time OFF, but it is still time away from work. I have had a really bad thirteen days in a row! I really can't wait till this baby comes and I don't have to go to that place for three months, count em'...three! That was all I was thinking about today because I just wanted to go home all day long. I'm sure all of you have felt that way sometime and today was my day! I can't put my finger on one specific incident that made me feel that way, but maybe it's just been one too many days in a row!

First of many....

Well, I've finally given in. I'm addicted to reading other people's blogs, so I've started one of my own. My sister in law told me that I should get it going before the baby comes! Plus it'll be an easy way for me to keep people updated on how everything's going with the baby and especially for posting pictures after the baby is born. I'll try to keep it going (unlike my brother in law) and stay on top of posting. Happy Reading!!
