The monogram.

If you read my previous post, you know what we went thru to come up with a name for our sweet baby girl. I really never thought it would be so hard. Anyways, that post really summed up everything…our little wee one is going to be :

Collins Richardson Glenn

Collins…how this came about. I have heard the name here and there, it’s not too common but I always liked it. Well…this might sound silly, but for honesty’s sake, I’m going to lay it all out there. I remember watching The Blind Side and thinking that Collins Tuohy was so pretty (when they showed the pictures at the end) and I just loved her name. Well…that was quite some time before I was pregnant. But, then when pregnant I was reading a Southern Living magazine article on the Tuohy’s and it just spoke to me…I fell in love with the name Collins once I saw it written out. Mikey liked it from day one…so we just decided to start using it a bunch and seeing if it really felt right. Well, the more I thought about it, wrote it out (yes, I did that), said it…I just KNEW, this was THE NAME. We love it…cannot wait for our precious Collins to arrive in March!!

Richardson…my maiden name. I really wanted a family name in there somewhere and this was the perfect choice. As I said in my long name post…there just are NO good female family names on EITHER side of the family, so Richardson it was. Mikey was a tad apprehensive about it at first…he thinks it is too common, but whatever…this is MY name and I love it. I still very much associate myself as a “Richardson” and I want that for my little girl as well. Plus, she and her mommy will have the same monogram, how cool!!

So, that's it. We love our little girl’s name and cannot wait to meet her!!!

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
