What's in a name?

Hubby and I like to talk about baby names every now and then just so we'll be "ready" when the time comes. Yeah yeah, I know... Nobody's ever really actually ready, but you know what I mean. 

So, is it bad that we were actually thinking of changing our 3 year old cat's name to Pretty (which is what we call her a lot anyway) because we're quite fond of naming a future baby girl Josie?  Is that some form of bad parenting?  We'll we haven't done it yet, so we can't be considered bad parents yet! :-)

Allie is on the left and Josie is on the right.

It's odd how we chose to name our cats names that we actually like for baby names.... When are we going to learn??

I've got fever....

Baby fever that is...

Those are a few of the rooms I'm looking at... To tease myself and make me sad/happy all at the same time. I'm a fan of each and every room for different reasons.  The possibilities are endless!  I cannot wait to start planning for our future little one!!

Hope you're enjoying your weekend!

Babies, babies, babies.... & Random

Ladies!  You're killin me over here!  Everyone I know is either pregnant or just had a child.  I.Kid.You.Not.  It's crazy!  Everywhere I go, people are pregnant!  In real life, in blog land, on tv, I swear its everywhere!  Where is this water you all have been drinking, because I would like some of it :-)

We're hoping to join you all someday soon, because this baby fever is kicking my butt.  Maybe it will help if I stop thinking about it, but no dice.... I just can't.  So send your love and prayers our way, I know there are many other people who need it more than us right now, but if you have any extra, it would be much appreciated! 

P.S.  You all look too darn cute with your baby bumps!  I joke that hubby will have to roll me to bed because I'm going to be like a big huge round ball when I'm pregnant.  We shall see! :-)

In other news- Tomorrow's Friday and I am O So Excited!  We're having some friends over for dinner on Saturday. I'm making Taco Soup & Chicken Noodle Soup!  Maybe I'll share the recipes with you next week.  They are delish, I promise.  Other than that, we'll be laying low.

Have you seen Sherlock Holmes yet??  Would you recommend it?  Are there any other movies out in the theaters that you would suggest? I want to get out and see a movie in the theaters, buttered heart-attack popcorn & pop.  The whole works!

Sorry for the randomness that is this blog post.  I have a lot going through my mind!

I have been bitten.....

By baby fever big time!

I find myself ooing and awwing at all of the things at Target that resemble babies.....

Everytime I hear of a new friend who's pregnant (and mind you, this has happened about 4 times in the past 2 weeks), I find myself wishing it were me.

I find myself worrying about the possibility of not being able to get pregnant.  We've done things the "right way", we've grown up, gone to college, fallen in love, gotten married to our best friend and then started talking about having a baby.  My mind rushes to all of the what if's about pregnancy.  What if I'm one of those women who cannot carry my own child, what if we cannot get pregnant, what if something happens, what if what if what if.

I realized that these are all things that I cannot control and if God wishes for my husband and I to have a child, then we will, on his time schedule.  So I'm putting an end to the worrying (or so I hope) and I'm going to leave it up to He who is in charge.

Don't get me wrong, I am so very very happy for all of my friends who have witnessed the miracle of birth and who are pregnant, because there is no better gift!  So I am so happy for all of you out there who are pregnant and I feel for those of you who cannot conceive. 

So, with that said!  To all of you mommies out there, all of you who have children, are going to have a child or want to have children, you're all in my prayers because it is such a great miracle to be a mom and I cannot wait until I have my chance.

I know my husband will be a fantastic father.  He is so enthusiastic about everything he does.  Whether it's cars, engineering, speakers, boats, etc.... He's passionate and I know he will be a good teacher.  So I do not worry about how our family will change once we do conceive, I am just ready and willing to accept all of the joys, sorrows and pains that come along with being a mother.  I am ready for all of it! :-)

Bring it on world, I can and will survive anything that comes my way. :-)

P.S.  Have you seen the baby clothes at Old Navy!  I seriously wanted to buy some the other day, but thought my hubby might think it was quite odd :-)

Happy Friday everyone!  Have a wonderful weekend!
