What's in a name?

When I was pregnant with Buddy, it took Hubby and I one night with "the name book" to pick out the only buy and girl names we actually liked.

No so this time around.

I think we have gotten into more arguments about names than I can count. Why is it so difficult for two people to pick out a stinking name?? It really shouldn't be that hard. And, it wouldn't be, if he would just agree with me for once, instead of insisting that we should name a boy "Lofa" after the Seahawks player. I mean really. A name that rhymes with Sofa? I think NOT!! Stupid, if you ask me. I will not name my kid after a football player. I refuse.

So finally, the other night we find a boy's name that we can agree on (NO, it's NOT Lofa). It actually happens to be a name I suggested a long time ago and Hubby nixed. But now that HE brought it up, its the greatest name on earth. Whatever, at least it's not Lofa.
Then comes the worst part. As if picking a first name wasn't bad enough, we've got to choose a middle name. Mind you, it has to be a family name, and apparently it's a "dumb" idea to use our names as middle names, huh?!? Oh, then you need to add to it that Buddy has the middle name of one of my grandparents (which HUBBY chose, by the way), so apparently now it HAS to be someone from his family. Let me tell you, we've got some pretty bad names to choose from. So, then when I suggest using a name from my family if its a girl, he throws a fit becuase BUDDY has my family name already. I said, "no way! If Buddy had been a girl, you wanted her named after your grandma, but he wasn't. That's not MY fault, you don't get both names. Nope. Not both." So, now we don't have a girl's name.

And, no, it will not be Lofa.

I wanna vomit

Okay, not the best title.

Only one week and one day until my first official dr appointment! I'm so excited! I have been feeling a lot more positive about the pregnancy in the past few weeks, mostly because the bleeding has stopped...and I've felt like CRAP everyday. Hurray! I don't puke, but man sometimes I wish I would! :) That and I'm tired all the time. Yep, I'm the life of the party. Went to bed at 8:20 last night. Went to bed at 7:50 on Sunday night. Hopefully I can get some energy before vacation.

Only 20 some days until vacation, and I'm finally getting excited. I can't wait to sleep in, take naps and lay in the sun. However, I did have to buy a maternity swimming suit. I don't want to look like a fat person trying to pull off a bikini. Which is exactly what I look like. I cannot believe how big I am already. Wow, the 2nd time around is REALLY different! We booked our excursion the other day, $84pp. CHOKE!! But it will be worth it. We're doing some zip link thingy in St. Maartin. Shou
ld be totally awesome. It says you need to be in good shape. I say bring it on!!

In other news, I am so sick of work. Well, not the work, just some of the people. I feel like I work in with kindergarteners. Really. It is so petty and immature. Oh well, what can you do. QUIT IN MAY!! :) hehehehe.
