A couple of days after graduation Luke, Mable, and I moved to
Connecticut for the summer! Why you ask? Well we decided it was a good time to try and make better money than
living it up for the 3rd summer in a row in
Buena Vista. Luke is doing summer sales with
APX. Since it is all commission we will see how it goes and report at the end of the summer.
lol I think Luke is going to do a great job and has already learned so much in the past 2 weeks! I am currently helping out as a "PA" personal assistant for the Head Manger of our team. I am liking it because it is a nice change from the Admissions life and no stress on the baby. My mind, however, is trying to get past the pregnancy
ditziness. I feel like my head is in the clouds and I just cant pull it down to earth!
lol Thus, I have to put in all of my brain power to do simple tasks.
lol It's also great because we are able to spend the summer meeting new friends and especially getting to hang out with Luke's cousins!
Nikisha and Malia! Niki is Devin's wife who is the Head Manager and Malia's husband Chris also does the summer sales with Luke. We have had so much fun with them. Its going to be a great summer! I will post pics soon!

I hit 24 weeks last Saturday!!!! (I will do another post with a picture of the belly) Pregnancy is going well. I think I have had my first
doce of
sciatic nerve. OUCH! I have started my baby quilt. It has nothing to do with the colors of the babes room but it is going to be adorable! I will start on the room next. I have decided on the colors for the room: Dark Purple, Apple Green, Deep Red, Hot Pink, Dark Yellow, really whatever color goes with those. I figure it gives me a lot to work with and I can just do a lot of solid colored things with a splash of all the colors....(I
don't know if that even made sense:) I also am going with the Vintage tootsie pop owl theme. If you go to
Etsy.com and type in owl baby,
that's my inspiration. I love all of the different kinds of owls they had on there. Such cute stuff! What do you think?

Now for the baby names. Here are some that are heavily on my mind. I post them hesitantly only because as soon as I say a name
out loud someone I know uses it or, it oddly becomes popular at the moment. I want a classic beautiful name that is not over used and not super popular at the moment. I
don't want her to be one out of 5 in her class with the same name.
First Names:
Kenadi
Mckinlee or Kenley
Farah
Claire
Lilliana (Lilly)
Peyton
Lydia
Vada
Collette
Molly
Avery
Middle Names to work with:
Aldeane (Lukes late grandma's name) or Deenie (her nickname)
Claire (My late grandpa's name)
Pearl ( My great grandma's middle name)
I love the name Molly. It has always been one of my favs, although Nate won't let me use it. All good names, though. And the vintage owl? Love it. That is what we are doing for Jayci too. Fun fun. Glad you are liking Conn. Still hoping to come up and see you guys!
ReplyDeleteDon't blame youe ditziness on pregnancy...thats how you always are ;) You know I love you, right?!
ReplyDeleteWow! We think alike!!! Farah is a family name from Nolans side. We were doing temple names a few months back and came across the name. Thats what we were thinking if we had two girls we would name the second one. Thats amazing I have never heard anyone say that name besides Farah Faccet (sp) Where did you guys hear the name from? Its funny that even though your across country we still sometimes think alike Hee Hee
ReplyDeleteHey I wont care if you use it though because who knows I might end up with a herd of boys :)
Ps I love the vintage owl look. VERY cute!!
ReplyDeleteI like all the names. We are moving to Mesa on May 30th! So I can totally see ya when you are in town....wahoo!
ReplyDeleteI hope Luke does well this summer!
ReplyDeleteAvery Claire! Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAnd don't forget, Colette is your favorite aunts middle name! lol (and destined to be the middle name of a little girl of ours - whenever we get her). I've always loved it. Good to hear things are going well in CT - can't wait to see you in July!
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I love the owl theme... I was a little concerned at first, but it's super cute. and the names, I love McKinley, Kenadi, and most of the other ones, but I know a TON of people who have named their babies Lilly and Claire, but I dont think it really matters. Jaxon and Logan were both really popular, and I seriously don't care, I liked the names and stuck with them. so just go with your guy! It's your baby, and she's not going to care if she has a popular name.
ReplyDeleteLove the names!! They are all super cutie!! ;)) And the vintage owl theme is absolutely adorable! I can't wait to see the finished room :) Good luck!!
ReplyDeleteWell, if you don't want 5 kids with the same name in your kids class you had better cross off McKinley, Avery, and DEFINITLEY Lilly and Kenadi (no matter the spelling). Though each of those are beautiful, they're all being used a lot.
ReplyDeleteI think that each name is perfect no matter which one you go with!!
I won't say which one I wouldn't do... cause that'll end up being the one you go with! haha! :)
We'll love her even if her name is 'hey you'.
Okay, I'm not a fan of Molly, Lydia, or Collette..... sorry
ReplyDeleteFarah Aldeane is georgeous!
