A while back, Alison ordered a necklace with our baby-to-be's name on it.Seeing it for the first time printed on something really made me happy. Even as we make lists now, and write down the name, it gives me goosebumps. This is the necklace to the right, and don't worry, the name has been blurred out.
We keep telling everyone that the name we have selected is uncommon, but hardly weird.
Probably the weirdest name I've heard from a friend was a co-worker naming her daughter Zuzu. Yes, Zuzu. That's not a nickname, as it was in "It's a Wonderful Life", but her actual first name. I hope for her sake, they call her by her middle name - Kaleigh.
When we were first selecting names, we had a laugh at the author when it was obvious that she had exhausted her baby name bank. After a while, it was like she wasn't even trying with names such as Post, Den, and Hall.
So far, the pool at work is about 50/50 with guessing if it's a boy or girl. My colleagues have suggested some pretty interesting names, but I am trying to listen to their parenting tips.
I have 13 shifts left until some much needed holidays. This is the first year I was able to get a 2 week stretch off together, and with my regular days off, it works out to be almost 3 weeks off.
We're planning on having lots of family/friends time (Hello Mike/Irene) and even a trip out West to visit my favorite cousin.
Bring on the warm weather, sandals, and of course, the diaper bag....

We are soooo excited over here. We were talking about Butterbean today and even got a little teary-eyed (we can be such saps!).
We have to come to Winnipeg on June 6, so that has now become our trip to meet the new little tyke and bring lots of presents. I've got some adorable Sally-Ann treasures too!
I can't wait to find out what Butterbean's real name is going to be. I bet you have chosen something really good. Uncommon is good. At one point I was one of 3 Johns in my class at school!
