What's in a name?

Well, we are getting real close to the end of this pregnancy (hallelujah) with only four weeks left to go. I have an appointment on Monday to check my fluid (again) and if all is well I will get to have this baby when I go into labor instead of being induced again. I had low amniotic fluid with Ryan and because of insufficient weight gain (I've made it to a grand total of 6 lbs...with an extreme amount of effort) they are worried that may be the case again. So we shall see if I have to go all the way to the end!

Problem: we don't have a name for this baby. Problem: I'm kind of a planner and would like to have this nailed down so that I don't have to continue to experience the stress of this unresolved issue. Problem: I read WAY too much into people names. Like I live by about 25 naming rules...some are very strict and some are flexible. But the fact is, if you think I haven't been thinking about it...you don't know me very well as I have more than likely been OVER thinking it. Problem (a great problem): I love our last name. I think it is a really good one that goes with everything...in fact I think a lot names sound BETTER when paired with our last name.

We do have two options in mind but we can't seem to lock it in and say that we have picked a name. I'm sure some of you are thinking we should wait until we meet the boy, and you may be right, however, I know people who have named their child in the hospital...and subsequently wished they had done things different. And also, I'm neurotic...doy.

In other news...the "projects" are coming along nicely. If you have spoken to me in the last month, there is no way that I have gone more than 5 minutes without talking about my "projects". We are finishing up and I will post pictures soon (I've been thinking about you Ciara, but I can't post until I'm DONE...as this is a major motivational factor.) But I will tell you this, the dining room is about 1.5 hours from complete (those dang drapes...but Aunt Diane you are going to be so proud), Ryan's room is done excepting a small furniture rearrangement and the nursery progressed to halfway complete today! In the meantime we have also installed extra shelving in the laundry room and we are organizing the garage with new shelving from Costco (love Costco). So we have been busy, busy, busy. And while I won't be exceptionally disappointed to no longer be pregnant, I need at least two more weeks to complete all of my projects. Wish me luck!!
