The Great Name Debate!
We are now 20 weeks pregnant! Yay for being half way done! I am so excited for Baby Parr to be here. We are now in the middle of the great name debate. We are set on Braden Allan for a boy. Braden being after Matt's dad Brad and Allan from my dad. The girl name has posed much more of a problem for us. I went through a book of about 3,000 baby names and wrote down some of the ones that would sound good with our last name and weren't names of former students or people we had known. That is when the name debate all started. Here is a little taste of what our world has been like.......I have always liked the name Kendall, but Matt never really liked it. We then moved onto Whitney, which Matt liked but I wasn't in love with. Then we went to Ashlyn which I really liked but Matt didn't like so much. So then we were on to Ryan which Matt liked, but I didn't like at all. While we were visiting with our good friends Alex and Melissa this weekend we were telling them about our great name debate and I was going through all the names I had liked at the beginning that were vetoed by Matt. I mentioned Madelyn (which was one of my favorites early on) and Matt thought about it and decided he liked it too!! We would call her Maddy for short, which was a nick name for Matt growing up also. At first Matt didn't like that but Melissa mentioned how neat she thought it was and Matt agreed with her! So I think we might have a girls name....we will have to wait and see though. Other than that things are going really well. I went with Matt out to the duck club today so he could pick up his decoys and the road was really bumpy. While I was sitting in the truck waiting for Matt I think I felt some baby movement. I told Matt when he got back in the truck either the baby doesn't like bumpy roads or he/she was really excited to be at the duck club. Matt decided that the baby was excited to be at the duck club! I hadn't felt any movement before today, so we will see if I continue to feel it. I am very excited to have Gage (our dog) back from spending 3 weeks with Alex learning some sort of hunting stuff. That is about it from the Parr residence. I can't wait for Spring and sun shiny weather!

I love both the names and think the Maddy girl name, but kind of named for Matt is awesome.
ReplyDeleteHow adorable!! I love the names and the meanings behind them. You look great! We are so anxious to see baby parr...I'm glad you are half way through.
ReplyDeleteI like the name choice. We will see if it sticks. I am excited for you if you felt the baby move, it only gets more exiting from here. I can't wait to meet our newest bundle of joy! My favorite trimester was number two because you feel so good and the ultrasound and the baby moving, it all becomes so real. Love you all!
