Not catching up!
Hey all...I'm getting famous for these sporadic all-encompassing posts where I say how long it's been since I visited the blog, so here's another one. I decided not to overwhelm myself by trying to read down and catch up with what's going on so if there are any really vital things happening, post a comment and then I can feel like I at least have some clue about the rest of the universe.
Here, things are busy since we're getting ready for baby. We have about three weeks left (I hope) and I am panicking more than usual. Asher will hate the baby, I think, but he moved into his new room yesterday and already has gotten used to that, so there is the good news. He's very attached to me and so things are going to be tough for him for a while. He just had his half birthday yesterday so he is officially "going on 2".
Does anyone have name ideas for me? We are pretty much solidified for a girl and trying to decide between 2 boys' names at this point, but I love to hear other people's ideas. And we have NO idea for the boy's middle name. Asher's named after someone in my family and so we want this one to be named after someone in Jason's family. I would prefer his dad, but the poor guy's name is Gary Gene. Argh. Hence, a dilemma. And it reminds me of how Nick Voelker always used to call Garrett "Gary" just to annoy him. Other family choices are Anthony, Michael, James, Thomas, and Dmitri. I feel weird using some of these since they are people I've never met. And I can't ask you guys for help since you don't know the first names they are supposed to match. We're sworn to secrecy. Dmitri is kinda neat-o though, huh?
Anyway. I'm taking Asher to visit my parents on Thursday morning. I think my dad has plans about tractor rides or something. He likes having boys in the family finally. Other than that we are pretty much focused on baby preparation. Of course Jason isn't nervous. Nothing scares him, except when he has his spider dreams. I will try to check in often in the next few weeks and tell everybody what is happening. My main goal is just to keep the kid in there as long as possible at this point.

OMG! That means that in 3 weeks Robynn will officially be a "TWEEN"! I am partial to Michael, but that is because it is Brandon's middle name. Which is also Steve's middle name. It's all about flow with the names. Robynn Olivia, Brandon Michael, Ian Bradley. I like Thomas too, it was a boy name that I picked when I was pregnant with Brandon. If all else fails draw them out of a hat. If you don't like it then pick another.
Good point. If you commit yourself to something like "Whatever name we draw is going to be it," then you find out really fast which names you actually like and which ones you just had in there to be polite. :D I love Olivia, I think that is so pretty.
Oh, man. I HATED it when Nick called me Gary. It's not my BLEEPIN' NAME, DAMMIT! Where guy names are concerned, I always liked Martin and Ian. If I ever have a daughter I'll name her Chloe. I heard a cool name for a girl the other day. Satori. Isn't that cool? It means "enlightenment" or "to understand". If you named your daughter Satori that would be so cool. If she's anything like her mother, I'm sure she'll be a genius too.
Flattery!!! :D That is a pretty cool sounding girls' name actually. Ian, unfortunately, is out since Jason and his roommate once had a dog named Ian. I have found myself attracted to all sorts of names that my friend Janell calls "the ugly, old names," all of which Jason hated anyway so it didn't matter.
Our favorite boys' name ever is Asa, but it's out too because it sounds like Jason if you're not in the same room as the person who's saying it. If it weren't for that, the name would totally be Asa. Despite my prejudice AGAINST alliterated children's names. :D
