Name Game


We have no names yet for the little guy coming and I'm hoping to hear some suggestions from anyone reading!! I tend to like the "different/made up sounding" names but any names you've heard lately please throw them out there to me!
We have a few but none really stand out to us. Brady, Brody, Mazden, Bridger, Max... all names we've considered but don't quite love yet. Can't wait to hear some!
Wow, I've been bad at blogging lately. I've been going through this crazy nesting phase where I've been stalking furniture on craigslist. teehee
Not much exciting though here to report. Its been raining and cold so Bruin and I have been stuck in doors a lot. I've had to get creative on what we do. Here's an example. I poked holes in an empty oatmeal container and gave Bruin colored pencils to stick in the holes. Did the same with a shoe box. Worked like a charm!




We also sit around with my camera and make movies of ourselves and then watch them. (Which I'll post some on Bruin's blog) Bruin gets a kick out of it.

As for Phil, he's been spending every free waking moment educating himself on finance loans to buy a business. Problem is, banks aren't exactly looking to lend money right now to small businesses so he's been investigating every other option out there, making phone calls, bank visits, talking to financial advisers, etc. Its amazing how much drive my hubby has when his mind is on something! Anyways, story short, we really want this to work out for us so if you know anyone who is looking for a way to invest their money for a nice return, let us know!

BOYS

It was Phil's birthday on Wednesday and he turned 27! We went for sushi with my parents and I made a yummy all-homemade banana cream pie for him. It was a good day.
Yesterday I had my 20 week ultrasound and we found out we are having another BOY! It totally caught Phil and I off guard because we both had been thinking it was a girl. In fact, we have no boy names yet, only girls! Anyways, we are excited cuz Bruin will have a little buddy. So far this little boy has been pretty mild and doesn't roll and kick me every 5 seconds like Bruin did, so hopefully that means he'll be a sweet, calm, and SLEEPY baby ;)


Here are some more pics of the Christmas week I got from Sanette
P.S. I updated Bruin's blog finally !


We acted out the nativity scene. I was Mary and Lynley was my baby Jesus, even though Bruin wanted real badly to get into that "cradle"
