Murphy101 Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 Huh. My profile is 3 stars. I have no idea who rated what when. *shrug* That's bizzare. If they think so lowly of me, why don't they just block me? People are so weird. *smh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murphy101 Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Yay! How fun! What do the other kids think?Girl 14 wants twin girls, but says she will settle for one. Girl 5 wants a girl bc she is the only kid in the house without a bunkbed and wants a bunkbed and needs another girl to get one. (ETA: Actually she is not. My oldest two have their own rooms with queen beds, but I guess she is so much younger she doesn't view them as kids as much.) Boys want a boy. Typical. A specific request for another red-headed one like the last one bc, "You did extra good on that one. So far anyways." Girl 8 was silent for a while and then whispered to me later, "I don't care what you have, but can I ride in the ambulance with you this time? I really wanna do that once in my life, but, you know, not when I'm the dying one." Current youngest adores babies. He was confused that I said he is finally getting one but haven't given it to him yet. And won't be able to tomorrow either. Or for Christmas. I told him it will definitely be before his birthday. He said, "well alright then. You don't forget that." And went to play fetch with the dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naming this kid will be no cake walk woman! First name cannot begin with A thru E, or J, K, L, P, or T. None of the name can be after anyone we know, dead or alive. Girls are saint names. Boys are biblical names. The name we currently have picked for a boy would NOT be biblical, but geez, that's a very short list at this point.

*Lulu* Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Congrats! I've observed through the years that giving away baby equipment or really nice maternity wear is like a neon sign declaring you need a new baby.

acsnmama Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Congrats!! I'm excited for you! I'm due in 2 weeks, and sold baby items before finding out, like our crib. A step family member was so perplexed when I said I wasn't ready for baby, "you didn't keep all of your baby items?!" Nope, I didn't!

Hmm, sounds like your dh needs to make a list of names he is willing to consider :) Are these rules hard and fast? The "not taken by a family member" would make things particularly hard for me--we have lots of family members! Two of my kids share first names with cousins, and all have family names as middle names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
