A little better
Last night was a little better than the night before. Lyric did wake up again, but thankfully it was still while we were all up. It took her forever to go back to sleep, but did eventually before midnight.
I swear, Jonathan really is the best dad ever. He is so patient with her and understanding, yet still very strict. When I go in there, since she is a momma's girl, it just wakes her up more and it's even harder for her to go back to sleep because all she thinks about is wanting me to hold her.
So that means it falls to Jon to do a lot of the after hours parenting. Which he does and rarely complains about it.
I'm SO blessed!
We've had a fun time with Jon's mom so far. Jon took the day off yesterday and only had a few appointments this morning and so now he is back with her again. On his way to work he dropped her off at Abby's house. Abby did her hair and then they went to Sam Moons to go shopping. Abby and Brad visited Belgium with us last fall so they love my Vandeput family (as well as my Benjamin family which they are adopted into).
I just talked to Abby and she is trying to convince my mother-in-law to get her ears or nose pierced :) I think she should get her nose pierced! That would be so cool! :)
I never posted the before and after's of the office/guest room. It looks really nice now!
Before:
After:
What you can't really see on the walls is that Jon put up 2 shelves and also a bunch of photos in black frames that he's taken all over the world. It looks pretty nifty!
And then Wednesday, Courtney and I decided to do add the black curtains underneath Lyric's curtains in her room. Then we tied the red sash to make it all go in. It's pretty cool how everything in her room is intertwined. (That's thanks to Kristina H. not me!)
Well I wish I was at Sam Moons with Abby and my MIL. Jon is meeting up with them there too with Lyric. I'm so jealous! :(
Oh well. One of these days I won't have to work full time and will have a flexible schedule and be a full time writer! (Hey I can dream right?!)
Also, we've decided for sure on a girls name and it's super cute-super unusual-and super long (3 names again). I'm not revealing it until we know for sure it's a girl :) If we're having a boy, he will probably never have a name. Jon and I have never been able to agree on a boy's name as he thinks all of my boy names are too crazy. We'll just say, "He blank, get over here." and strangers will think we are self censoring ourselves for their sake and go back and gossip saying that we must call our son horrible names when no one is around....
Here are the boy names I like the most:
Shiloh
Blaze
Indigo
He basically hates them all, especially Indigo which is my favorite! Oh well! :)
However, looking for baby names is like one of my favorite things to do! I'll find one we both like, don't you worry! :) I have PLENTY of time to find the perfect name if it's a boy, but we all know it's a girl! :)
Well back to the grind.

Well, if you are looking for unusual boys names...one of my coworkers is named Steele. I think it's pretty unusual but not weird.

Please dont name your son Indigo.... he will hate you for it.
Shepherd (Zac Hanson's son, yes, m-bop drummer)
Slater (Saved By the Bell)
I know someone that's trying to talk his wife into "Sheriff" for number two. Okay, you know him too. My poor DIL. She says no to Sheriff. So maybe it's up for grabs!!
there seem to be two camps for baby boy names: the boring and the ones that would make a cool dogs name. this baby is due in two months and we are NO WHERE near deciding on a name. i pretty much only like conrad, so jon has come suggested we name this next one darnoc. which backwards means, counsel wise. ;) oh the amusement and frustration of it all.

"hello, my name is INDIGO montoya. You killed my father; prepare to die."
yeah, that's what indigo makes me think of.
I like Blaze for a boy & I have to agree with Brad on Indigo-it is a little out there. But a lot of people made fun of Zealan & I never gave it a second thought so of course name him what you like! I'm so excited you're pregnant again & I know you are too-can't wait to find out the sex!! -Em
Ok, I normally wouldn't comment on names chosen by any parent but are you hoping your son will one day become an American Gladiator?
And specifically Indigo reminds me of...."My name is Indigo Montoya, you killed my father...Prepare to die!"
But seriously, if you do name your kid those names I'll get behind ya!
ok i am pretty sure it is INIGO not indigo montoya. and then i looked up the meaning and inigo means fiery/ardent...thats kind of cool or asking for trouble...i know you will find the PERFECT NAME!! for a boy when it is time...but since you are having a girl don't stress about it :)
It's really true because doesn't it normally happen that way? You know the name for sure of the sex you are going to have??
Don't worry, the baby is not going to be named Indigo. I just think it would be awesome. And then we would call him Indy for short... but NO ONE likes that name, so it's not going to happen.
However, I think I know for sure the boy's name now :)
