Three Things

I'm doing a really terrible job at documenting anything worthy of putting on the internet lately. I blame it on pregnancy + the cold weather keeping us cooped up in the house all the time. These are some totally random things that are just swirling in my head at the moment.

  1. Choosing a name for this baby is driving me INSANE! You pick out future baby names with your high school sweetheart (who, if you're like me, turns out to be your hubby) that you just know you'll use on your future babies and then when the time comes to USE those names, no. My friends can attest to the fact that I'm struggling because I will randomly send them texts declaring my insanity, usually accompanied by, "what do you think about this name?" Or my favorite, "JUST NAME HIM FOR ME!!" I don't really care what other people think of the name we choose but their input counts as something or I wouldn't constantly bug them about it. HA!

  2. We do have the list narrowed down to 2, maybe 3 names. One is the cute name we had picked out for a boy when we were in high school that sounds super cute with Beckett (it's another B name) but something is telling me no. We didn't use it with Beckett so why default to it this time? Another one is a name we both love but I HATE it with our last name (it starts with L) and it really peeves me when Joey refers to him by this name so that's a problem (that I need to get over because we love the name). The last one sort of came about as a joke between us and one of my besties, Jordan, who is also having a boy (NEXT MONTH!!!!) which has stuck with me and I love it but Joey's all aboard the LL train and I can't get him to jump ship. So here we are, still quite a few weeks away (16-ish, ok.. not that far away) from meeting this boy and we can't decide on a name. I don't think I can wait to name him until he's born and I see him because, what if he looks exactly like Beckett? I can't name him Beckett. See.. insanity. #sendhelp

  3. On another note, we did order a crib sheet for the baby!! I laugh as I type that because it's so insignificant to you but it's monumental to us. It's inevitable that he's going to have all of Beckett's hand-me-down clothes and toys but that crib sheet is the first thing that we've bought new, just for him. Shameful, I know.


If you stuck through that, thank you and I'm sorry. :-)

    I feel your pain! We're trying to narrow down to one girl name and one boy name as we don't know the gender and we only have 6 weeks left. It's such a big responsibility to name someone and both love it! Well done on ordering the crib sheet, it's not insignificant, if your job list is anywhere near as long as ours it's a moment to be celebrated and tick something off the ever-growing list!

    So true! It's a lot of pressure to name a child but it definitely wasn't this hard the first time around. Good luck narrowing down your names and enjoy these last few weeks (I know it's hard to really "enjoy" them as uncomfortable as they may be) before your little one arrives. Really all that's important is that there are clothes to wear and food to eat.. the rest are just little details that we as parents get wrapped up in feeling like we have to have.

    Thanks for the advice, you're right it's easy to become wrapped up in the little details!

Lincoln - 1 Year

It's hard to believe that our precious baby boy is 1. He still seems like such a baby to us, so much smaller than B was at this age (unless our memories have completely failed us). The day he was born was perfection. It will always be one of my most favorite days ever.  We had very few visitors, at our request (of course big brother had to be there!) and were able to enjoy the full day together since the scheduled c section was early in the morning. It was the sweetest day and I'll never forget how special his birthday was or how happy I felt to have another sweet baby boy to love. The first year went a little differently than B's first year. We didn't co-sleep after 1 month, we only made it to 10 months breastfeeding because of the 3rd pregnancy/miscarriage (which is still a major accomplishment but B went 15 months so of course I had guilt over that), we had a TIME trying to get him to sleep at night. Weight: 21.4 lbs, Length: 29.5" [caption id="attachment_4...

Baby #2 - Sharing the news

After trying for baby #2 for several months, we were thrilled to find out in October that we'd be welcoming a new baby in 2016! Since we knew exactly how far along I was this time (we had no clue with Beckett, I was about 7 weeks along and had no clue until my doctor had me take a test at his office before prescribing me fertility drugs) we knew we'd wait a few weeks before we shared the news. We decided that since I'd be 11 weeks on Thanksgiving we'd share the news with our families at our dinners. We had the first one on Wednesday evening and it was such a relief to finally start sharing the news. After dinner we went over to my mom's house to share the news with them since our dinner with them wouldn't be until the next evening. I'd made a cute craft with Beckett to make it a little more special for them. [caption id="attachment_512" align="alignnone" width="2787"] The boxes lifted up and under them it said (1) I'm going...

Lincoln Asher - 11 Months

I just can't say enough how sweet this baby is! However, he sure does give us a run for our money sometimes. He is into EVERYTHING these days. Our stacked stone fireplace = his favorite spot to mess around (inside the fireplace!) by getting the rocks out. You should see the grin on his face when he gets a rock and knows he's not supposed to have it. He will hike his little leg up like he's going to try to crawl on it and when we tell him no he will grin and start shaking his head no. He is rotten to the core. Sometimes I don't think I can handle another one after him. He wears us OUT!! haha Weight: 22lbs He's a professional crawler now. I love hearing his little hands smacking across the floor. He loves to eat. He will eat and eat and eat with no end in sight. He'll tear everything off the table in a restaurant in order to get to the bread. :-D He loves rolls, biscuits, bananas, and Popsicles, in addition to his baby food and formula. He's not a fan of...
