"Tree Squirrel With Pine Nut"

So, we have started to find a name for our baby boy. Mr. Man found the name Kono yesterday which is a Native American name meaning "tree squirrel with pine nut." Trust me this is not an option for our son, but it just goes to show we are having more fun finding names that don't fit rather than names that do. I must have picked one of the worst baby name books out there, but it was like $3 at McKay's. It is so hard trying to pick out names. There is way too much to think about. The name needs to work with the last name, initials can't spell anything bad, it cannot create a bad nickname, or cause the child trauma from mean kids. We also want it to have a significant meaning. Someday we will figure out a name for this child. Suggestions, serious or other, are most welcome.

I have also made myself turn to the "Why Bother?" latte at Starbucks. For many, many reasons I have to drink decaf and now I've turned to skim milk. Some regulars who got drinks at the coffee bar I worked at lovingly called a decaf, skim, latte a why bother because really what's the point? Well the point is I love coffee and need a fix sometimes. I can't handle the caffeine, but I love the taste and it's a comfort food/drink. I much prefer whole milk, but I need to do something to prevent gaining over 40 pounds. Thankfully I've only gained around 20 this time around and have managed to not puff up like a balloon. One of these days I'll try to get a belly picture up. I have a feeling I'm going to be huge by the time this little guy arrives.

On a sewing note, I made some baby wipes last night out of an old flannel sheet. Since we use cloth diapers most of the time I guess it only makes sense to use cloth wipes to save money too, right? I need to get a container ready for them and see how they work.

One little blessing today there's fried chicken for lunch!! Last night I really wanted some fried chicken and that's what they're having for the staff meeting in the building where I work. They are kind enough to let me eat their food even though I don't work with them. I love working with these people even though I don't really work with them, if that makes any sense at all. The baby is starting to suck away all of my brain power so I'm starting to lose it. Oh the joys of pregnancy.
