Sunshines and Creeps

I started this Friday...didn't get around to finishing it so here it is a little late :)

My little finger sucker.

• Sunshine to the weekend! Being a working mom really gives you a new appreciation for weekends! So Sunshine to Friday!
• Sunshine to ArtFest! I can't wait. I am meeting my friend Jenny there. She has a baby 3 weeks older than G and so our babies don't always cooperate at the same time for things but we will sure try! Update - It was a wonderful day! We met and looked around for two hours. Then I ended up heading to the local baby boutique when G had a major meltdown and so after a good feeding and changing we were good to go again and actually stayed downtown for a couple more hours. I met my friend Kristi there and we walked the booths again. Seriously Artfest is the best.
• Creep to the weekend going way too fast, as all weekends do these days 
• Sunshine to Ross being off this whole week! I am so excited that he can take of dinners :)
• Sunshine to the sunshine today! It is beautiful!
• Sunshine to a happy baby. He has been back to his normal self after a few rough nights. The little guy was going through a growth spurt I think so he would wake up crabby a few times at night and just wasn't his normal happy baby-self. 
• Creep to this weather. It will not stay nice two days in a row. It is just sad. Last week we did get out on a few walks though. 

Cross your fingers that I get to go outside today it is beautiful!

• Creep to one of the little girls at daycare being in the hospital for an asthma attack. Being a mom really makes me terrified of everything. I am scared of getting in an accident with my little guy, etc. This will go away eventually I hope, and it isn't so bad that I can't live a normal life but when you have a little person who is depending on you it really puts things in perspective!

Sunshines and Creeps

Sunshine to our Anniversary last Monday. I cannot believe a whole year has already flown by since we said "I do". It has been the most amazing year of my life and I can't wait for the ones ahead.

SUNSHINE to VACATION, we had so much fun, more on that to come!! Creep to vacation going by SOOO fast, we blinked and it was over.

Sunshine to having a few wonderful friends with babies that I can get lots of great advice from.

Sunshine to feeling baby Johnson move this week!

Sunshine to the short week thanks to vacation! It really felt like a short week this week since I wasn't super busy at work when I got back.

Sunshine to our new gym opening this week. Creep to the new gym being TOTALLY packed. I hope for my sanity it slows down there sometime.

Creep to showing up for water aerobics last night and (after asking three people where it was) finding out it was canceled but no one was bothering to tell anyone! Ugh. So I went home to get workout clothes and get dinner ready for Ross and went back for Yoga an hour later. Only to go to class to no instructor. We waited until someone working out came flying in asking where the instructor was. Turns out she also is a yoga instructor and taught the class for us since he never showed up. That would have been a major disappointment since I didn't bring tennis shoes and would have had to go home AGAIN (double creep)!

Sunshine to the sunshine, I am loving this fall weather!!! I am hoping that we have a nice mild winter like last year, it will make having a baby in wintertime much easier!

Top 2 Tuesday

Today is Top 2 Tuesday at The Undomestic Momma. Today's topic is Top 2 Names!! This is something that I have actually thought of (which is kind of funny because I have only recently decided that children may be in my future).
So

Here they are:


Girl's Names

Lydia Mae

This is a combination of my two grandmother's names. I would call her Liddie (which is my grandmother's actual name). My friend Jessica likes to taunt my unborn/unconceived child's name by calling her "Lydia Chlamydia". I guess that is just something that we'll have to deal with because that name isn't going anywhere. I don't know a lot of names that don't rhyme with something or a lot of kids who go through life without being taunted for something or another. It may be a lesson in letting people in about your future baby names though (a lesson which I chose to ignore yet again).

Scout
After Scout from to kill a mocking bird (love that book)

Boy's Names

Finn
I picked Finn because I have always loved Huckleberry Finn and I see him as the ultimate boy's boy, I loved his shenanigans!

Scout
I would also consider Scout for a boy's name I think it is pretty gender neutral, and kind of cute either way (same reasoning as for the girls name, and I don't think Atticus, Boo or Gatsby would be great boy names in today's world)

Ross is going to have a hard time getting a say in otherwise, I have my mind pretty set on some of these! Maybe if we get married he will earn more of a say ;)
