I Can't Keep a Dang Secret...

My bro (11 years older than me) and sister in law (ony 6 years older) named their kids David, Eva, and Maya. They wanted names that would work and sound good and have meaning in America (where the kids had been born/are citizen of, etc), Russian (our cultural roots, we are immigrants and my brother works in Ukraine) and Hebrew (that is jewish, which is our religion although we are not very observant but for the major holidays) cultures.

When I grow up and have my two kids (did i mention i'm 33 so i use "growing up" with a wink and a smile"), i'd love to honor the memory of my grandma and grandpa. funny enough, both of my grandmas had the same name (Valentina). My maternal grandpa's name was Roman. (again, those were popular names in russia)

Obviously, can't name the kids exactly that but the personal list in my head for girls now includes Valerie (Val) and/or Tina. If anyone can come up w/ an american and nice sounding variation of Roman, that would be awesome:)

I really like Valentina and Roman!  How's your BF on those two names?

Told him I just don't want a more common name.  So, the battle rages on.

Battle On!  Hold your Ground!!!   Your  needs braids and kegs... HeHeHe!

Many moons ago, I was given this family name "suggestion" from my Ex-... Theodore!
This was long before the ever charming Theo of the Huxtables made his debut.
All I could think of was Alvin & the Chipmunks!

At the end of the theme song... you get a good look at Theodore... cute, but I still didn't want to have my child teased.  Silly me... kids these days don't even remember The Chipmunks!

Surprising thing is my Ex- went on to name his sons Christopher and Jake!  Where's Theodore!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

WHICH EVER IT IS BOY OR GIRL I JUST PRAY IT IS A HEALTHY BUNDLE OF JOY FOR YOU TWO.

GOD BLESS YOUR LIL FAMILY
MINI ME

Oh yeah, and like the two blue lines weren't enough.  I had to do an EPT, in plain English.  That puppy was showing "Pregnant" in the window, in less than a minute.

ROFL

I go do my labs tomorrow.  Added my folic acid and Iron today (I've not had to take any extra iron since surgery****il I go see the doc with Ray on the 28th.  At which time, I know they will draw MORE blood, and tell me if I need to add MORE iron, stay the same, or ditch it.

It's off to the used book store this weekend to pick up books for the hubby to read.  I have 72 cousins, I think I'm more than ready for my own.  But this is really going to be one of the first infants he's been around.

Told him if nothing goes wrong, after 1st trimester, we're off to CPR class for infants and toddlers.
