oh what's in a name?

well, we're stuck. we cannot agree on anything. let me just say that naming a baby is tough work. seriously.

we will find out if our little baby bean is a boy or a girl soon. my productivity at work has pretty much came to a stand still since i got my big fat positive pregnancy test as i spend much of my day looking at baby bedding, strollers and onesies. i'm obsessed. and since my world-o-baby has been wide open for the last 18 weeks i have to look at everything and have a game plan for both boy and girl themed nurseries, strollers, onesies. :) sooo, basically... what i'm saying is... this new exciting world is about to change. once i can focus in on one sex - my productivity will pick up and more importantly kevin and i can focus in on becoming serious about this naming business.

more about that: kevin and i have been racking our brains to come up with a cute nickname for this little baby in my belly. no such luck. we are so uncreative we've been calling the baby, well, "baby." great - i know. well, i take that back. we've come up with some doosies - including yivo (for reasons i cannot explain in public...), birdie, and we even switched the nickname on a weekly basis based on the baby's size (we started in week 9 - olive... and honestly it kind of stuck). so here we are, still calling our sweet potato sized baby olive. and that's nothing - that's just the nickname for our unborn gender not known baby... so you can see where this is leading for the real name.

so i've pretty much determined my dear sweet husband is unfit for naming our baby. the new nickname (to which he seriously calls our baby outloud and one time in public) is: (drumroll please)

peyote moose

great. you've got to be kidding me. peyote moose. super. LOLOL. holy hell. so - it is what it is. me and peyote moose hang out together all day - we're never alone, peyote moose and i. does it bring a visual image? how's this:

so - peyote is this psychoactive alkaloid used world wide as a recreational drug.

just one more reason i'm so lucky to have kevin. i bet you wish you had someone as colorful as him to name your baby. oh how i do love me some kevin.

well - i suppose that's all for now. that and just so you know - we don't have any "real" names. back to the drawing board as the "x" in jaxon makes it "too kung-foo-ish" for kevin and in the last three months FOUR sophia's have been born in my town, population 30,000.

so - we'll keep at it. because lord knows we aren't really going to stick with peyote moose.
