The Name Game

Or that's what it feels like every since we've found out it's a sweet baby boy. We were set for a girl name so I knew it'd be a struggle when we found out it was a boy. Since I started having a "feeling" it was a boy a month or so ago, I went ahead and started thinking/searching/googling, etc. for boy names. It's rough I tell ya. Before we found out Tuff was a boy, we weren't concerned because we were set on a boy name. This time around, not so much. I know everyone is dying to know what we've decided and I can't say that we've decided just yet. But, I can tell you this much... my favorite (along with any and everyone else that I've told) is....................

BROOKS

So.... What do ya'll think? Also, if you like it, please feel free to give suggestions on middle names. We are officially stuck at a standstill and need all the help we can get. Ha. :)

Other than playing the name game we've just been doing the norm this week. Work, home, sleep and start over the next day. This week at work has been mentally exhausting for me. I sure will be glad when Monday is over. (They extended tax day from the 15th to the 18th this year) As for sleep, I have started taking something to help me sleep better because I had been dealing with some serious insomnia. I think it's because my belly has finally reached the point where it's uncomfortable for me to sleep on it. :( I'm a belly sleeper so I know all you other belly sleepers out there can definitely agree with me when I say it's almost impossible to sleep when you can't sleep on your stomach. I'd been dreading this day since day 1 of pregnancy. So, starting Sunday night, I started taking Unisom (recommended by doctors when pregnant). So far, it's worked wonders. When I was pregnant with Tuff, not so much. So I'm hoping it continues to help with this pregnancy for the next 18 weeks. :) The only negative is not wanting to get up in the mornings but I think I can deal with that over dealing with no sleep at all.

It's been raining pretty much non stop here, all day! We're supposed to get some storms later this afternoon so I guess we'll be stuck in the house tonight. Darn. I guess that means we'll have to just go to bed early and enjoy some much needed rest. :)

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I'll be checking back in on Monday!

  1. Well, I happen to LOVE Brooks! What about Anderson for a middle name? If not, then go through everyone in the families to decide on a middle name. That's what we did with our girl name we picked out...Mattie came from Jeremy's grandmother's first name and Leigh came from my Grandmothers middle name.(of course we changed the spelling on Leigh...she spelled it Lee but I wanted something more feminine,LOL)
