The Name...

Ok, I've waited almost a week to post the name. Surprisingly enough, Kyle and I came to an agreement on the name in record time - considering that up until last Monday, we hadn't even thought about names for a girl! I was really worried that this decision would take us forever, but it literally happened in about 30 minutes. That's got to be a God thing because I don't think we've ever made a major decision in 30 minutes! So, I only hesitate to post the name since we've had a boys name picked out forever (meaning way before I was pregnant or even thinking about being pregnant!) but about 5 weeks ago, I suddenly decided that I hated the name! Yeah, so we had to start over on the boy name list - obviously not necessary now :) So part of me is terrified that once I spread the name to everyone and their dog, I'll end up changing my mind at the last minute. I know that sounds crazy, but it happens, ask my mother! :) So, I'm divulging the name since I'm 99% sure that it won't change - but as I've said before, I'm not making any promises! We decided on Ryleigh Grace as the name.

We're working on picking nursery colors/bedding/decorations, but one major decision a week is about all I can handle at this point! Kyle is very anxious to get started on the painting/decorating so I'm sure I won't get much of a break before I am forced to start making all kinds of other decisions. The one decision that's got me stressed, for lack of a better word, is daycare. Unfortunately especially given today's economy, I will have to go back to work - so we've got to find someone or a daycare to watch Ryleigh. That's a big decision - definitely bigger than how I'm going to decorate the nursery or what I am going to register for! That being said, I'll need all the wisdom I can get in making this decision - so all prayers or advice would be greatly appreciated! And...if you are local and are interested in watching a newborn - let me know! LOL :)

  1. OH! Well, I mean, seeing as how I'm the aunt and all, ya'll can just bring her to me and I'd love to show her off down here. I'm so thankful that I'll be home for the end of summer to spend time with her. :) I really want to babysit.

  2. You know you can leave a comment with you name attached! LOL

    I appreciate your excitement, but that doesn't really help me on the childcare front! :)
