Preparing for Baby :)

Matt and I have spent a lot of time on the road lately and it seems that the conversation often leads to baby.  There is a lot to think about!!!  One of the most fun topics is baby names.  We're pretty sure we've decided on a girl name, but we are struggling more trying to agree on a boy's name.  I happen to think that the meaning of a person's name is just as important as liking the name itself.  However, I am struggling because some of the names that are at the top of our list come up as "origin not known" when researched.  I may have to get over this meaning stuff OR we may have to keep searching!!!  At least it's a fun time spender :)

We've also started talking about all the stuff we'll need.  I would love to be able to go ahead and start looking for furniture and some of those bigger purchases, but we don't know how old our child will be when they come home yet.  So that makes shopping a little bit harder.  For those of you who know me though...that fact hasn't completely stopped me from shopping ;)  Shocking, I know!!!

I do have aspirations to make our baby's bedding--we'll see what happens.  I did pick up my first project the other day.  It is more of a patched blanket.  I can't wait to start on it!  If this project goes well, then I'll move on to the bedding project.
