Truth Talk Tuesday (Randoms)

[pineappledeelight]

Sorry for the super lame name, it's even lamer if you take into consideration how long it took me to come up with it.

My randomness:

I know that it's WAY early, but has anyone started talking names with hubby/partner?  I think that I'm scared to!  I have a couple of names that I love, because I've been thinking about baby names since forever, and I'm scared that he's going to shoot them down!

We have a boy and girl name picked. We have had them for awhile, I just worry they are really weird/different lol!

If you both like them, then who cares!!  Are they names that you were considering for your other children or new ones for baby #3?

New ones. The names I originally wanted have become too popular and I like names that are really different! So hopefully mine are ok!

I think it's fine to have a few names picked out. I say go for it! 

[shoogars]

We have a boys name picked out (pretty much) since we've never gotten to use one...a girls name is a bit harder we are kind of out after naming 2 girls

I definitely should, especially because it takes MH a LONG time to warm up to things.  Maybe I'll plant the seed of my fav names today...

Is anyone else super emotional? A song came on the radio today and I started balling!

I almost cried Sunday when they took forever to sign us out because "Oh no, you can't use that identification this time, you have to use this other paper instead"  because we had a new sergeant that wasn't up with procedure. We deal with this A LOT, and usually I'm just like "Fine, whatever" but I was seriously on the verge of tears the whole time, and then once we got in the car I did cry. 

LoL! Last night I couldn't find my laptop, and my kids wouldn't go to sleep. All I wanted to do was watch Grey's Anatomy in bed. I threw a MASSIVE childlike tantrum (by myself) because I couldn't find my lap top. Sobbing, ripping my house apart etc. Finally I got pissed off and ripped my Mac desktop out of the wall and plugged it in next to my bed. But of course I sat and sobbed because I spent an hour looking for it. I texted my husband and cursed him out because I "knew" he put it somewhere. When I finally realized how ridiculous I was, I apologized to him, but he got all of the text msgs at once. He thought it was hilarious, but I was a wreck! haha!

We have Ivan James for a boy and Emery Jacquelyn for a girl. H thinks we're having a girl, but I think it's going to be a boy.

Those are so cute! I love Emery!

We are thinking Dash Alexander for a boy (or Dashel- really old name), and Penelope Jean for a girl. I have a feeling it will be a boy though.

My names our definitely outside of the box!

[silverspoon]

I've known for awhile what I would like for a girl. It's between Eleanor or Elena. He's on board with those. I like "Ella" but it's so common. For a boy I'm less sure. I know I want something fairly classic and not a family name.

I just want it to be something that makes sense on an adult. I try to picture them as a CEO and would that name fit.

This is my issue with my boy name. I think it's fun, and it has a story for both of us, but I feel like he will never get a job! lol

[silverspoon]

I try to remember that they are going to be an adult much longer than a child. As hard as that is to picture right now.

[dizzycooks]

We have a girl's name picked out (the one we didn't use before - is that bad?) Nora Faith, but we are totally stuck on a boy's name. We've considered something family related, but then our other two are both "N" names so dh wants to stick with that theme and I kind of a agree. IDK. We've also avoided nicknames with our first two and I'd like to continue that trend as well.

[pineappledeelight]

I have a unique name and I've always loved it! My maiden name is VERY common, so I always liked having a name that differentiated me. Haha, but now my married last name is cray-ay-ay-zy and I always have to spell both my first and last name for people. So, I think I'll go with simple classic names for my kids.

My current favorites are Erin for a girl and Miller for a boy, with family names Margaret and Thomas for middle names.

[Sparkly]

I ate 2 1/2 donuts at our staff meeting and now I feel gross, and still starving.

Re: name discussion - we have the boy name picked out - it's the same as it would have been last go 'round, named after DH/FIL/grandfather. Girl names are harder... we have a lot we like, but used two of our top three from last time (her first and middle name) and now I think we're both leaning away from #3 name. So I have no idea. We've talked a few other names here and there while TTC, but nothing is sticking out as a front-runner yet.

[Lollipop]

We have no names picked out. We'll probably wait until we know what it is. I don't like the girl name I had picked for S anymore. So we'll be starting from scratch.

[shoogars]

When we chose DD'S name, Charlotte, I didn't realize it's popularity, but I also didn't think about how a 2 year old would say it. "Harlotte". So my sweet little baby is going around saying, "me harlotte"....not exactly what I had in mind!

[itsmeally]

Our DD's name is Emerson Grace. So I kind of want to stick with something in the same genre. I have no clue for a boy, but a girl I have some ideas.

[ashley1106]

We are really loving Laurel for a girl but are so stuck on boy names.

[danenikki]

No name discussion yet. Boy name will be easy girl name will be tough. I can always associate a girl name to something negative.

[Lollipop]

So I just watched the sneak peeks on legend of the neverbeast (don't judge, S loves Tink). And Aladdin is FINALLY being released from the vault! Oct. 6!!!

Any other Disnerds here?

@iliketurtles, I'm so sorry! I can't even imagine how scary that must be!

::hugs::

So, sorry to bring this thread down, but I don't really want to tell anyone in real life this yet, since it's not entirely set in stone, but DH's projected orders are for Afghanistan. While this could change, normally it doesn't. I've been bawling. I'm freaking terrified. I really hope it changes, but it probably won't.

FX it changes. If not, let's hope it flies by! I'm so sorry about this.

[Sparkly]

I'm sorry, @iliketurtles. That is tough. How long would he be deployed?

He would be gone a year from July. He's pretty sure that it will change, another guy that was held back said that other guys that initially got those orders had them changed. Also, he thinks that if his sergeant requests a change and tells them I'm pregnant that he will get a change. I'm worried about our friends though... they were the ONLY 2 out of their whole class to get deployment projections and they are married.

That's too bad. I hope it changes. I would imagine if he does tell them you're pregnant it might make a difference. Good luck!

FX crossed for you that it changes for him and that your friends stay safe. Thank you guys for your service.

Hugs, @iliketurtles. I hope it gets changed! Keep us posted!

As far as names go, last time around we could not agree on boys names. If we are having a boy, we are in trouble. Girls names seem to be easier for us!

Just got off work, and now starts my "3 day weekend." Normally I would have poured a glass of wine by now. Guess I'll stick with water!

[peaseblossom55]

I'm sorry @iliketurtles I hope that it changes

I cried because I couldn't get a pb&j sandwich today. I'm too tired to cook any dinner for myself right now and I'm starving and I need to get some studying done too.

We talked about some names but we haven't had any serious discussion yet. We still are still on the fence if we will find out the sex or not. I think my favorite girl's name is becoming too popular and I don't think H likes it.

[silverspoon]

I'm incredibly lucky that my husband does all the cooking. If he's going to be gone I just make myself soup or those pasta steamer bags with veggies. I can microwave. He's a teacher so he gets home before me usually and has dinner pretty much ready when I get home.

It works out because he likes to cook and he's very good at it. I take care of the clean up.

[peaseblossom55]

I made a salad and mashed potatoes for dinner, but the awful kind of mash potatoes from the box. I don't usually do that. It's so quick and easy though.
