Name Claim

People have all different philosophies when it comes to baby names. Some people like to:
-pick a name and not tell anyone until the child is born
-pick a name and tell people when they find out the sex of the baby
-steal a name, or use an obvious family name
-announce the name of their future unborn children, long before they are even expecting.

Guess which one I am? :) Yep, Zac and I talked about baby names very early in our relationship and have not wavered much since then. I share these names with you not to really "CLAIM" them, because we will use these names even if our family and friends use them too (remember, we have liked them a LONG time), but just so you know what Zac and I plan on naming our munchkins. :)

If it's a boy, we have always liked "William Andrew." But he'll be called Drew. I think it's cool when everyone calls a boy by his nickname, but only his mom and girlfriend/wife call him by his full name.
I also love the name Asher, but this is new, and I haven't discussed it with Zac much, so that's just a backup. ;)

Girl names we love are:
Allison (Ally)
Emily Jayne (Emma or Em-Jay)
and another new one I love is Ava. I think Ava Brooke is pretty.

Fun fact about me, while we are on the topic of baby names...when I was a girl (until the age of about 13) I wanted to have quintuplet girls, and name them Kacey, Lacey, Stacy, Tracy, Macy! Can you believe that? Haha, Zac is very glad that I outgrew that dream!

Thoughts on our names??

baby fever

ugh...i have had so much baby fever lately. i can't stand it. i feel incomplete. i want a baby, or at least to know that one is on the way. i am open to pregnancy or adoption or a delivery by a stork...i just want a child, and zac is the same way. we are always on the lookout when we are in public...we just can't get enough of babies, toddlers, and children. i can not wait to be a mom. until then, i will listen to music in my car entirely too loudly and tell myself it's okay that i don't have a baby in the backseat or i would not be able to do this. (I tell myself that, but i don't really believe it...HELLO, I would trade loud music for a baby ANY DAY!)
