seriously I don't get it.....

Can someone PLEASE explain to my why in maternity photos the husband or significant other has to have his shirt off. I mean what is the point? I would like an explanation please. HUGE pet peeve. I am not fond of the almost naked shots with the wind blowing outside or the tube top either. I kinda get where you are trying to show the pregnancy body but it sometimes appears as borderline porn.

It's just a name.....

So why has it been so hard to pick a name for the baby this time. It seemed so easy with the last two but this time it has been such a struggle. I guess maybe cause I know this is the last time I will be choosing a name or cause I feel like I need to stick with the E trend we are on but it is driving me a little nuts. I start thinking - wow this is kinda important - this kid is stuck with this name forever (well I mean I guess she can change it pretty easily if she wants to - the process doesn't seem horribly difficult).

And let me tell you EVERYBODY wants to know what the name is. When you tell them you don't know they look at you like you are such a liar. But I promise we don't have a name. We had to quit talking about it cause it just got worse. After our date night we decided that we would wait to see the baby before we decided on a name. If she has hair we go with one name, if she doesn't we go with another. Now we just have to narrow our list down to two names - lol. Not only are we undecided on names but names we do have - spelling is an issue as well. Good times!!

this and that

so the coupon clipping is not going that great. i guess being pregnant has made it hard for me to focus on anything really. i feel like my brain is going in 80 different directions and to commit to anything has been super hard. this goes with exercise as well. i am not doing that good at all and i know i will regret it - i know this yet it still is not enough motivation for me to do anything.

i did do pretty good this past weekend at the outlet malls with my coupons. you can get a coupon book for a dollar if you take the time to go to guest services and that dollar saved me about 30 bucks. I only shopped at the stores that had true outlet prices and feel pretty good about all the loot i got and the total price i paid.

updating from my previous blog - i completed the 5k. I was 3rd from last and completely worn out. the only reason i wasn't last is i skipped a loop and got in front of an elderly couple. but i did it. felt like pooh for 4 hours after though. my daughter won second for her age group 0-10 yr olds - i am very proud of her. my husband and her completed another 5k this past weekend and she won 3rd in her age group 0-19 yr olds. her time remained close to the same - approximately 35 minutes. i can't wait to be able to run with her and let hubby do his own thing and work on pb.

anybody out there want to help us pick out a baby name. hubby and i can't agree - any suggestions are welcome!!!!

last night was pretty interesting. my oldest and i attended my nephew's preschool graduation. it lasted an hour and 45 minutes. i thought it would never end and laughed the majority of the time - not cause it was suppose to be funny but at the absurdity of some of the things that occurred. there should be limits to how much should be crammed into a ceremony and who should be performing. don't you think the kids should be doing all of that and not the teachers? some of it was quite ridiculous. oh well he graduated and it is over. :)

2 weeks and 1 day before we go on vacation - can't wait!!!!
