Names

I've had a few people ask for a pregnancy update, how I'm feeling and all that and what my current baby name choices are. You know I have 'em :)

I'm feeling pretty good. I get nauseous if I'm hungry, hot, tired, driving, or staring at a computer screen for a long time. But if I'm good about eating every 2 hours or so, and going to bed on time, I can hang in there pretty well. Aaron has mostly taken over in the food department for the time being, bless him, because early evening seems to be the worst time of day for me. (I'll take that over mornings though.) I eat a lot of cereal.

But enough of all that boring pregnancy stuff...let's talk about baby names!! I think naming the baby is my most favorite part. I think when I'm done having kids, I'll open a business for naming other people's babies, because there are a lot of names I like, and I won't have that many kids, guaranteed. Also, I like way more names than Aaron does, so he eliminates just about all of everything I come up with. Such is life. I should have made him sign a paper before we got married that the naming of the children was solely up to my discretion. But I didn't.

So the following is my list of names. I'll try to mark the Aaron approved ones, just so you know what the real possibles are.
