40 Weeks Plus

The end is so near, my mom & sister arrive tonight.... YIPPEE!! So that means my "maternity leave" starts... yes, I will hand over my children & become an even bigger slacker mom (trust me, it's safer for everyone involved.) So tomorrow we will run errands, pick up a few last minute things & get a hospital bag packed.

In the last 5 days I have been asked numerous times when I am due, I am sure the strangers who ask think I am being rude when I say "tomorrow", "today", or even "yesterday." I do find entertainment in watching their reaction.

As for the question I get asked the most... the one concerning the name of this baby. I can't say that we have decided for sure, but in the last few weeks there is one we are leaning more towards, but we will wait to see her... and at this point keeping you all in suspense is rather fun, & that way no one will know if we decided to change it. We keep asking Hannah what we should name the baby or even telling her what we are thinking & she is no help. She isn't agreeing with us, & hadn't been offering suggestions... until about 10 days ago. She & I were headed to church & she said she had the PERFECT name... Princess Buttercup!
"So we would call her Buttercup? "
"No, we would call her Princess, Princess Buttercup Taylor!"

She was set on this name, over the weekend we were talking again & she was still set on Princess Buttercup, but she then gave another option, Pinkalicious! After seeing Ice Age 3 yesterday she gave a 3rd option/suggestions... Peaches.

Perhaps I should put a poll up in the corner, because those are some hard names to choose between.

Sorry that you're overdue! By the time your that far along I'm sure you're so ready. I wouldn't know since I get choose to get induced a few days early. Good luck with everything!

Good Luck Mugs!

Not telling your list of names, especially the one you're leaning towards is smart! We spilled the beans on our favorite name and ended up with a few monogrammed "Emily" items... Obviously we don't have an Emily.

Good luck everything!!!

Buttercup isn't so bad. Humperdink... now that would be bad. Good luck, I'm anxious for you.

Do you know that Chris just realized you were pregnant? I don't know where he's been for the last nine months but he was so excited when he found out you were having a baby. :)
