The Name Game

Kris and I took a short walk tonight to get milk, and he mentioned that really, this whole time I've been pregnant, nothing has really changed - except my belly - as far as our lifestyle. When we thought about that for a minute, I realized that most likely in less than a week, we are going to be so out of our element, that we won't know what hit us! We  have been so into work-mode, design-mode, teaching-mode, and other-things-going-on-in-our-life-mode, that we really have not focused on a baby-mode. That's pretty scary seeing that the baby could come any day now. So after that ohshit moment, we decided maybe we should give a little more thought to what to name the baby once he or she gets here. We truly want this to be our decision with as little influence as possible from others (one reason why we didn't find out the sex). But, come to find out, it is a difficult task, and having people suggest ideas, is actually pretty helpful! So any of you (esp. from the baby shower game) who have suggested names, I thank you for your help! We are getting closer to at least having a couple boys names to choose from that we both like, and though girl names are seeming to be more difficult, we have a couple that we like as well. So, now we just have to wait and see which one seems fitting once we see our little peanut!!

Hi Holly! I have so enjoyed reading your blog these last few months. Your journey has been inspiring as my husband, Ben, and I were trying to get pregnant...and now are 8 weeks along with our own little bundle of joy. I hope you have a wonderful few remaining days with the l'il one still snug in your belly...and may your labor be effortless and your blessings many!

Holly, I totally know what you mean. At least you have the baby there to remind you :) There are times where I am thinking, “man, I should be doing more to get ready!” I am so excited for you guys. Hopefully we’ll have play buddies soon!
