The Name Game

I'd say this was a good week. Only got sick a couple of times, a nice change of pace. I am feeling tired all the time now though. Overall I'm feeling good though.

Gary & I had a great day today. We started the morning with some baby research. Checking out different cribs & strollers. We decided we're going to go with Cherry furniture. :) My mom is the best and said that she would strip and stain my dresser that I had as a child and my toy box that my grandfather made me so it will match the crib and changing table. I think we're going to go with Graco for whatever we can. I'm looking forward to starting our registry. I think we're going to take it in steps so it's not to overwhelming, and we can start now without knowing the sex.

I did my first maternity shopping today. Although I've lost weight, my pants are starting to feel tighter. I wanted to be prepared for vacation in 2 weeks so headed out to Old Navy and found some good vaca clothes. A new bathing suit and everything! And I actually bought a smaller size then I wear in regular clothes, with plenty of room to grow. :)

So we've been back and forth on names for a little girl. It makes me feel like we're having a girl because we just can't decide on one. Boy name, no problem. Done. Noah Robert Jones. (Ok, that did feel slightly weird typing it and seeing it in front of me for the first time. ) Now a little girl, there's so many choices. My top picks are Isabella, Juliet, and Chloe. Gary likes all of those and Eliza. But I also like Cameron. Too many choices! Good thing we have until November to decide.

So last weekend we talked and decided that our upcoming vacation is a very important one. Not only is this something we both need because we need to get away from work and it's been planned for awhile, but now we realized that this is going to be the last one for just the 2 of us for a long time. So we decided to splurge and take ourselves to Disney World. I am beyond excited. Gary keeps making fun of me about how much of a kid I am. He keeps saying he's going to video me and send it in for one of those commericals where the kids find out they're going on a surprise Disney vacation because I am just that happy and excited. It's fine. He can mock me. At least I'm happy. :)

  1. I was supposed to be a Chloe...but thankfully I wasn't. Chloe Clayton is way too much alliteration. Haaa. I like Cameron Jones as well! I mean...I REALLY like it. :-)

  2. I can't picture you as a Chloe.... the problem with Cameron is the middle name. We're going with Kay, after my mom so there's that alliteration thing. But we're about 95% decided on Isabella!! I WIN!
