Names??

Oh where do I start...my husband and I have gone through some interesting things with this pregnancy....job loss, panic because we have to monitor our girls so closely, another job loss, oh and my daily whining.  The one thing that may send us into fighting happens to be naming our girls. I'm kidding, this pregnancy has seriously brought us so close together, we worry about our girls and it seems like us versus whatever challenge comes up that day you know.

It is a wonderful thing to be married to your best friend and know that the entire time your hormones are sending your brain into uncharted waters and your belly into a different zip code, someone is there, in your corner, fighting right along side of you. Oh wait I was talking about names, I get all kinds of lovey when I'm talking about Adam lately, sorry about that.

So names, I LOVE Kate, I LOVE Hayden (Adam doesn't like Hayden for a girl, how can I change his mind?) We both like Ruby and we would like to have Grace for a middle name. I was stuck on Grace and Kate for our girls for so long, but Adam wants to keep looking.  I have been loving Elizabeth lately, but Adam disagrees.  The pressure is in the fact that what we decide is what these girls will be called for their ENTIRE LIVES.

 Okay really no matter what we choose everyone is going to say we did a great job, they have to they love us right? I just want to make sure I pick something that grows with my girls.  So for today I guess I'm on Kate Marie and Ruby Grace, BUT for anyone who knows me, I will change my mind by tomorrow?  I also thought about Kate Northrup because I love my stepfather so very much and would just like to let him know how thankful I am he's been such a big part of my life you know?

Oh don't let me forget, I really like Kate Colby Ward but again, Adam didn't like it. He does likeHaley Grace, but now Haley sounds too common I'm so weird, I need help right? Why couldn't we compromise and he like could like Hayden Grace? See close to Haley and I get my way :) Thank goodness he doesn't read this blog or I would be in big trouble I bet.

The simple fact is this, for now Baby A and Baby B are growing, causing my organs to feel HUGE and squished at the same time and that's all that matters? Who knew that an unemployed pregnant woman would forget all the money stresses and backaches and nausea when she found out her daughters are growing at the same rate?!?!?!!

Wow, this motherhood thing is going to be a wild ride...

Hayden is a cool name! Will it be after the Hawkeye coach? I briefly played with it for our son. I think it's so cool!! I think the mini baby who fought back to catch up to her sister should have that name!! She's a fighter!!

I LOVE the name Kate! So does Kyle! And you can't go wrong with Grace for a middle name!! So far, I'm loving your choices!!
