How to choose a name?

So as I said in this post we are in a debate of whether or not we should find out what we are having. Well this debate has one other problem besides washing clothes and that's picking a name.


We have a girl name. We had it since we first started talking about having kids. We decided on family names for a boy (Rex Daniel, after our grandpas) and a girl (Theresa Kathryn, after my grandma and mom) but now since we used our boy name we need another one. 


We have talked and looked and we can't agree on anything. I love Asher, Azariah, George (after my dad who is a huge part of our lives) and he just keeps saying no. He said he will give suggestions once we find out what we are having. Well that's still up for debate so I think he needs to suck it up and help me think.


We picked out one boy name that we both like but it is very different and so we aren't sharing it with anyone because we are almost certain that everyone will try and talk us out of it. The problem is that even though we finally found a first name that we mostly agree on we can't find a middle name to go with it. 


M suggested the name James as a joke because it's his dad's name. See his dad doesn't speak to us and seems to care less about anything that is going on in our lives and we really don't want to have our child with a name from someone who could treat family so poorly. In our household we are trying to create a very strong family unit. We want our kids to know that we will love them unconditionally and that we will support them through whatever they go through. And M's dad just doesn't support this idea and so we both vetoed James. 


We have looked and looked for more names and nothing. 


Any suggestions on how to pick a name? What happens if we can't agree on anything? Is it OK to have one decide the first name and the other choose the second? And then how do you choose who gets the first name? Seriously we have a few months to go but it's really bothering me that we can't agree on any names.

  1. if you both like the name do not worry about what others will say! Oh and text me the name now! ;)

    People hated (and told us!) the name Jude. Now I look at Jude and know that the name Jude is SO Jude! ;)

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

Week #2 on THM

Well it's officially the end of week 2 on Trim Healthy Mama! I have tried some more new recipes from the book and from pinterest and I'm having so much fun with it. I also order some xylitol online to save money. I didn't realize how much sweetener I would be using but when you can make sweets for any meal or snack through out the day you can use quite a bit. Favorite Meals this week E pancakes from the book! Yum! I added in frozen berries to them while cooking and they were great and the boys loved them too. They got to have the added whipped cream or syrup on theirs. Fat Stripping Frappa! OMGOSH! This is going to be my go to summer morning drink! I can see myself making one of these up first thing in the morning to get my day going and then enjoying a yummy breakfast 3 hours later. Soon as warm weather hits Hubby's schedule will be packed full daily so my mornings will start early, like 5am early! So having a breakfast at 8:30 will be perfect timing! Cheese ...
