WHY CANT I GET A 100% on ANYTHING in that STUPID 2 credit class??! Seriously, and it's a MATH class so why do i have to use QUOTATIONS in EVERY assignment and CITE them in MLA format?!
Anyways, I have a couple things to talk about tonight, besides math methods.
Okay, number 1) Why do people like to hide the name of their unborn child? Like, the parents are super set on a name, have the nursury all decked out with the initials, but then don't tell anyone? Like......?? Like someone is going to STEAL it (???) like they are going to be the only ones in the WHOLE world with that name? or is it because someone they know is going to have a baby a day before them and take it away?! I just dont get it? If you love a name, and people ask, isn't it just easier to tell them? Rather than say something like.."oh we're keeping it a secret!" (that just sounds ridiculous) AND I understand when people are like...we want to wait to see what the baby looks like to see if it looks like the name first. I get that (kind of, think thats kinda weird too) but no, if you're set on a name, and you're hiding it, it prob doesn't matter what the baby looks like. Someone explain to me?
(p.S, we better have a girl, because we have ZERO boy names! Just saying)
number 2) Bachelor was basically the best ever last night! I was actually team lindsay, because since hometowns, she has won me over. But last night seeing sean and catherine so happy, I pretty much decided that I loved her too! I thought Lindsay made a classy exit, but felt way sad for her. Sometimes I really just have a love hate relationship with that show, but it's mostly a love one. What did you guys think??
number 3) Ummmm..WHY AM I NOT SHOWING YET!?? I'm 16.5 weeks and there is nothing. nada. zip. zero., like nothing. My pants aren't tight, like nothing. And the only thing I can think of is because I'm tall. And thats nice. But it is super annoying when people find out I'm pregnant and they say something like.."are you sure??!" "No you're not." YA NO REALLY. So, next time I see you, just say something like...YAYYY!! I can finally see something!" That would make my day! haHAha! It's a good thing, I guess. But I can kind of sympathize with those girls on that "I didn't know I was pregnant" show. because...if I hadn't gone to the doctor or taken a couple tests, there would be no way I would know! (except for the 2 weeks of morning sickness and a little pressure around my beltline...that actually only feels like cramping...)
number 4) Who is going to finish my math methods assignment? I thought it might get done before I was done writing this post, but turns out the word doc is still blank. :(

Haha! We hide Evelyns name because I had 5 other friends pregnant with girls and we didn't want to have anyone take it for sure. But also we went back and forth on Evelyn and Emily. Plus it was way fun to announce her name once she was born. It made it really fun!
You'll show soon Hun! And you'll be feeling the baby move too! You are pretty tall I bet in two weeks your tummy will start to round out a bit. :)
We shared Lilly's name with some people and didn't share it with others, I was literally just afraid that certain family members would make fun of it (even though the name Lilly has been around for a very long time). So especially in Utah/Idaho, capitol of weird names in the world, I can see how people would hide names so no one will make fun of them!
Geez Kar, I feel like this was pointed at me, but then I remembered I'm not the only one that is doing it/has done it haha. We just think it's fun to keep it a secret, and if she doesn't look like it we can change it no big deal. Very few people know and it will be fun to surprise those who don't. I think just like everything else with pregnancy people do it how they would like, even if other people think it's weird :) There are like a billion of my friends that are having babies right now, I know they wouldn't steal my name, but I just think it's fun for a surprise :)
I didn't start showing until like 20 weeks I think. I posted a picture on instagram when I was 15 weeks and I look at it now and laugh, I wasn't showing like at all. One day you'll pop and be like "where did that come from?!"
so excited for you!!
I don't hide names. I don't get it. I say screw the world! Haha! Especially if its a family name. You're using the name because it has some significance to you. So who cares if someone else takes it. Scott's other family has used names they knew we were using or done similar ones and we really don't care. We don't see them that often anyway. A lady who is in YW with me and I visit teach her just named her little boy Jackson too. She asked if I cared and I was like, yeah right! It's just a name. She was using it because of a family member named Jack. For me that just happened to be the only name that sounded right for him. And because you can't think of boy names you'll probably end up with a boy. We were set on it being a girl named Madeline. So when that ultrasound showed boy I was stumped and looked through hundreds of names and Jackson was the only one that stood out. Then I knew he was meant to be a Jackson. Then a lady who lives behind me had her baby like 3 weeks after me and I didn't know but she was naming her girl Madeline! Guess a Madeline was coming into this world some way. Just not to us! :)
we didn't hide tanner's name (Adelaide) and our good friends had a girl the week before us, and guess what they named their daughter?!?!?! Good thing Tanner was a BOY because I was ready to throttle my friend! LOL!!!
Some people are weird about it. I have told some what baby girls name is, but not others. Depends on if I have time to share WHY we're naming her the unique name she's getting. ;)
Sorry about the math...sounds like a rotten assignment!
I would have no problem sharing our name choices if people weren't so lame about it.
At the beginning of our pregnancy, people would ask us what names we liked, and we'd tell them...and then people thought they were allowed to tell me their opinion on those names.
No offense, but I don't care whether you like my names or not, I didn't ask for your opinion, and I definitely don't care about the kid you knew in 2nd grade with that same name who was sooo annoying.
Seriously Kar! You'd be surprised by how many people told us that, or said things like, "Oh you can't name your kid that...it sounds like _____." or "Hmmm...have you ever thought of _____ instead?"
It was so buggy. I did not ask their opinion, and I don't know why they thought they had any say in what I named my child.
Even if they didn't share their opinion vocally, I'd still be able to tell what they thought by their facial expressions.
So we stopped telling people our names. Not because we thought they'd steal them, I honestly wouldn't care if anyone stole any of our names. I just didn't care what they had to say about our names, and they didn't need to know anyways.
And another reason, recently our friends had a baby. They told us the name in advance and we thought it was hideous. Obviously we didn't say anything and were totally supportive. But when they had their little boy, and we got to see him with his cute little name, it became the cutest name ever and it totally fit him!
Anyways, that's the end of my rant.
All I'm sayin' is, people have their reasons.
Andrew and I were also glad we had a girl as we had ZERO names for boys too. Are you going to find out what you are having? It's such an exciting time and it goes by so fast. I cannot believe our little none is already 1 month old. Seems like yesterday she was just a little blueberry inside me.
As for names, we had a bunch (girls ones of course) and we told people but also told them we would not name her until we saw her. A few of our names got x because people we knew had kids with those names or my husband or myself had students with those names. I don't get the hiding either.
PS: finding namesis going to get a lot harder once you start teaching
PS: has for the not showing..one day your are going to wake up and will be like BAM..where did that bump come from. But I get the "you're not pregnant, you have no belly." Comments. Kinda the same thing for me
