85 Days

And so the countdown begins. I am having a very hard time wrapping my head around, well many, many things, but right now mostly the fact that I have 3 MORE MONTHS to go. I just think that (and I am not kidding) somewhere along the way someone made a mistake and I am going to be going into labor any day now. Any day now may be an exaggeration but I feel it should be considerably earlier than October 14th.
We are well on our way to being ready for little Chloe's arrival. Aubrey has now graduated to her big girl bed (cutest thing EVER!), is showing interest in the potty again and the baby clothes are sorted and ready to wear. All we can do now is wait.....and wait...and.....

It's a...

GIRL!!!! and I think her name is going to be... Chloe Roulx! I say I think but I am pretty much 99% sure. Aubrey loves it, she keeps walking around saying Chloe Roulx Chloe Roulx, it's real cute.

SO

I just realized that I have started almost every post with the word so. SO, I am sorry I'll try to stop.

Tinsley

So this is the last name post I write until I officially know the gender of the new baby, after that all bets are off.
I just want to recap a conversation from last night between my darling husband and myself...

ME "Mark I know what I want to name the baby should it be a girl and I have really been thinking about and it is definitely the name that I want so I really don't want you to say no. Even if you don't think you like it how about just mulling it over a bit to see if it grows on you, ok?"

DARLING HUSBAND "Ok, what is it?"

ME pause for dramatic effect " TINSLEY " tada!

DARLING HUSBAND "Hands down the worst name I have ever heard in my life. EVER. Gertrude would be a better name than that. I hate it. NO WAY"

ME "Thanks for all the mulling"

I mean really? Nine long months, one intense surgery, months of having the child attached to my breast and I can't even get the name I want? Really? You already get the last name DARLING HUSBAND! All I can say is we'll see who fills out the birth certificate!

p.s. If you share in Mark's hatred of the name please refrain from commenting here.

Hadley

I know this one is a throw back from my pregnancy with Aubrey but I am really feeling it this time. I am clearly not really into the name meanings, as I JUST looked up Aubrey and it means elfin king. Hadley, though means field of Heather and I kind of like that. What do you think? By the way I also looked up Cash and in case you were wondering it means... wait for it... money and or profit. Go figure.

BeeBee Fairy

So last night was the night. With much build up over the past month Aubrey was READY to send her beebees (pacifiers) off to the fairy in the clouds. Thanks to a terribly creative mother and about 25 balloons we are now living beebee free. I am not saying it has been perfect, but, Aubrey has yet to even ask for a beebee and is sleeping soundly for the 2nd time now sans beebee. YAY!!! Aubrey woke this morning to a surprise from the good fairy herself, she was awarded one singing Ming Ming and a hand held bubble blower and we are not looking back!

Undicesiveness

So, I know that I've said I will not waver on my boy name, Cash, but I may be starting to do just that. I am starting to feel drawn to the name Asher. Thoughts?
